‘Argentine Tevez underperforming in China’
Beijing, Nov 30 (IANS) Argentine forward Carlos Tevez has not lived up to his name and is underperforming in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua deputy general manager Zhou Jun admitted on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old was roped in by Shanghai Shenhua in 2017. Tevez, who has played for English as well as Italian football giants Manchester United and Juventus respectively has scored four goals in 16 appearances in the Chinese football league.
“We decided to buy Tevez because the AFC Champions League qualifying phase was about to begin and at that time the new rules (for big money signings) did not come to light,” Jun was quoted as saying by Fox Sports.
“Tevez was playing quite well in both Boca Juniors and Juventus. And since there was an arms race going on (in the CSL) our club needed a player who has a reputation and universal appeal.
“Of course, in the end, he is not living up to those expectations. But he keeps working very hard to be in contention to play.
“As for whether or not to extend his contract next year, it has to be a mutual choice. His future hinges on the outcome of further negotiations between the two parties,” Jun added.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
