Argentina's Tevez one man of the people, has featured the determination of his country to win a third World Cup in South Africa 2010.
Tevez said, "I want the Cup and let no one take it from me,'' who enjoys a popularity with Argentina's fans akin to that of coach Diego Maradona.The commitment of the player who,like Maradona rose from a tough Buenos Aires shanty town, shone through with his two-goal performance in the 3-1 second round win over Mexico four days ago.
But Tevez, known by those close to him as Carlitos, was not sure of his place in Maradona's side until the final build-up to the tournament. It's tough to leave Carlitos out, Maradona had said in Buenos Aires before Argentina left for South Africa.
He is the first to recognise he had a poor qualifying campaign in which he was sent off twice and missed a penalty away to Ecuador.Tevez worked hard to regain Maradona's confidence and was rewarded when the coach came to the conclusion he could not leave him out.
A tactical switch freed up a place in attack and Tevez has slotted into a trident with Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain.Tevez said the Argentina, "Diego came to my room one day and said me I know you're going to be brilliant.'' World Player of the Year Messi has yet to get off the mark but Higuain and Tevez have contributed six of Argentina's 10 goals.
