Despite the fact that almost two years have passed since his departure from Mouth and his retirement from football, Charles Tevez is synonymous with the La Ribera club. And in the week of Super classicApache reappeared to talk about his present as a DT but in the middle of the speech he also spoke about what the Xeneize vs. River match was like in Monumental.
“Today Boca needs to buy players yes or yes… Or Almirón will decide. I think he is doing very well, but we are all waiting for what step forward Almirón will take. Boca are showing things as a team, is that true?” the ceiling?” Tevez analyzed in TyC Sports.
On the news he sees in Boca, Tevez lingered on Advíncula’s position: “I like that now he doesn’t just go to the left, that he has Advíncula more advanced on the right. If you start to recover Pol and Payero, who come and go in the middle, you’re talking about another Boca”.
Then it was time to talk about the Superclásico, and Tevez was asked if Boca respected River too much.
“There are two types of matches, or so I learned with Bianchi: one is one-on-one like the other day, and another is the one in which there is a two-way round like the Libertadores. The one- one-on-one clashes are classics, no matter how they come,” Tevez began.
And on Almirón’s proposal, he said: “I’m not in Almirón’s shoes to tell you if the position in the classic was defensive or not. Today I see him more as a DT than a fan, in the second half I thought he would send more to ‘Advíncula, with Weingandt behind. I thought Demichelis would have put two up front. That’s how I see it, now as a coach.”
Comparison of Almirón’s approach with what Gustavo Alfaro did with Tevez as a player, in the first leg of the 2019 Libertadores (it was River’s 2-0 win), was present in TyC Sports’ speech with Carlitos, and it was himself a player who remembered her.
“As a Boca player and reference that I was, I can say that only once did I go to Monumental respecting River too much. And you will remember, because I had an ass face from the micro to the locker room, which was with Alfaro, it seems to me that this match is different because Villa and Vázquez played, that match was Soldano with 8. It was the only time I felt that we weren’t on the same level, but due to a decision by the coach, “Tevez shot
And then he returned to the Superclásico 2023: “What was missing (Almirón) was knowing how to hurt River, which we managed to do when we went with Central (El Canalla won 2-1).”
For Tevez, the Superclásico result was a nailed draw. “When there were 10 minutes left in the game, I felt like everyone else, which ended 0-0 unless a digit came on,” commented Tevez.
And the question came, was it criminal? “I’m the least apt to say it. The Boca fan will tell you it was a penalty, and the River fan will say yes. And for me it wasn’t a penalty. When you have to lose with an injustice, you have to ban it. From rage and it will last. If they charged me, it would have warmed me up, of course”, complained the former Juventus and Manchester City, among other teams.
Tevez also spoke about Darío Herrera’s refereeing: “It is very difficult to manage today in Argentine football. We are all to blame, and above all the referees. They have to run. Enzo Díaz should have been sent off the other day, obviously. But today it seems that it’s all interpretation, that’s why you always feel like they’re shitting on you”.
“What happened at Pala (Palavecino) is normal, when you’re a fan you experience it like this. And I too would have reacted. As a child I watched the classics on the only TV in a neighborhood bar, we shouted goals and the pineapples were gone How did that image come to me as a boy? It happened to me, I made chicken (in the rematch of Libertadores 2004), the fan came out and then I apologized”.
