Tevez’s anger with Corinthians fans
It’s amazing how quickly players can go from “hero to zero“. Take Carlos Tevez. Last year he was Corinthians fans’ favourite player, leading the big spenders to the Brasileirao and being voted player of the championship - an incredible feat given he is an Argetinean playing in Brazil.
This year, things are different. Corinthians are underperforming and lie 18th in the Brasileirao. Their fans are obviously disappointed and their main target has been Carlitos whose performances have not matched those of last year. Of course, last year there was no World Cup but the fans don’t care, they just want to see their team doing well.
In Timao’s latest match against Fortaleza things reached breaking point. Throughout the match the Tevez was booed everytime he received the ball. So when Carlitos scored to make it 2-2, he could not help it and celebrated by holding his finger to his lips sending a clear message to supporters. As expected this annoyed them even more. He then probably made things worth when after the match he, said that supporters should show more respect towards a group of players that lifted the championship the previous year. European clubs will be monitoring the situation closely - if the relationship deteriorates further Tevez may welcome a European escape route.
