This season has seen the closest battle ever in the English Premiership in recent times and I must say I’ll be glad to have Man Utd winning the title anytime over Chelsea. That is for sure.
But for one player in this United team, his journey in English football is absolutely EXTRA-ORDINARY.
For me, the stage was already set in last season’s finale when West Ham came to Old Trafford for a must win game to avoid relegation. And it was this little fella that scored the winning the goal that help the Hammers survival in the Premiership thus earning a round of applause from 70,000 attendees who watch that game. Among them was Sir Alex Ferguson, whom I believe knew exactly what he wanted to spearhead United’s challenge for the following season.
If Fergie needed to thank one particular player for helping United retaining their crown this season, no it’s not RONALDO or ROONEY or NANI or GIGGS or SCHOLES but without a doubt it has to be Carlos TEVEZ himself. If you think I’m simply being biased than let me give you three reasons why: -
- It was he who scored the only goal at Anflied against fierce rival Liverpool back in December
- It was he who scored a last minute equalizer against Spur back in February
- He also scored a last minute equalizer against Blackburn in April.
Take away them, and United will have already conceded the title to Chelsea even before the kickoff against Wigan.
From the way it looks like, TEVEZ is the type of player that is made for those special types of occasions and should definitely lead United’s attack in Moscow. After all we already knew how special he was a long time ago. But we will get into that later.
For now, congratulations to him on becoming the third Argentine player to win a Premiership medal with the Red Devils, following the footstep of Juan Sebastian VERON (2003) and Gabriel HEINZE (2007). Truly a living legend.
VAMOS CARLITOS!!!

Have been a United fan since 02-03 season..and a Tevez fan since 05-06..so wanted him to join United last year..i was jumping with joy when I heard the news...He made and extraordinary effort to gel in so well with mates out there and that showed in his games too...Would love for him to continue at united for many more years...(what else he has made me a Boca fan too)..
ReplyDeleteHe effort for the team cause was typefied in the Utd-Barca game when he was hounding the Barca defenders and mids big time..I am just waiting for him to do those samba dances from his Corinthian days..( or was it just a brazilian crowd attracter thing??) ..anyways I hope good for him in the future and hope he and Messi can bring Argentina the world cup next time over!!!..
Hey,
ReplyDeletecongrats for the title!
although i would like to see liverpool lifting the trophy (i'm a diehard fan btw!=D), you guys deserve it.
so ur a tevez fan? if i gotta choose one player from man u, it gotta be ronaldo.
He's insane. how on earth did he managed to score so many goals in one season?
btw, which country are u from? i doubt ur from msia(my country) right?
i love talking football. lol. =D
Thanks for your comment Claire.
ReplyDeleteActually I am from Malaysia. A passionate Albiceleste supporter from Malaysia.
I like Liverpool to because of Javier MASCHERANO. It's a pity that you guys could not make the trip to Moscow.
Do feel free to drop by anytime.
I agree with you my friend. But we should give credit to all the players not just Tevez.
ReplyDeleteIf Ronaldo didn't score 30 odd league goals this season we would not have won the league, if Rooney didn't score the 13 league goals and supplied countless of assists we would not have won the league, if Ferdinand Brown Vidic and Evra weren't exceptional all season we would not have won the league. If VDS didn't make some crucial saves we would not have won the league. Anyway you get my point, its all down to the WHOLE team not just to one player. Yes, Tevez is exceptional and yes his goals have been of great importance to United, but there again all goals have been important to United. So credit goes to all the squad.

its a pity that liverpool cant do a showdown with man u.
man u might just get trashed by liverpool. lol.
they are pretty strong in european matches! haha..
=D
Tevez has become one of my favourite player too. His contribution is exceptional. When he first joined United and during his first few games, i was really frustrated but Sir Alex knows best. Look at all the important and nice goals he has scored.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Man United.
Glory Glory Man Utd as the REDS go marching on and on.
Let's get our total of 18 titles !!!
Albiceleste refers to Argentina's white and light blue t-shirt...correct me if I am wrong...
ReplyDeleteFantastic for ManU and Carlitos ! On a negative Albiceleste note however, Cuchu Cambiasso suffered a bad ankle injury this weekend. Unclear when he will be able to play again and likely suffered ligament damage. Might mean some interesting decisions for Coco in the next few months.
ReplyDeleteI am a Pompey fan but enjoy watching the big 4 play, especially against each other.
ReplyDeleteI rate Tevez highly - as mentioned above he was outstanding against Barca in the second leg and outshone Ronaldo, who looked to be suffering from stage fright.
I don't agree though that its down to him alone tht Man U have done so well this year. They have strength and depth in the side and Tevez has been on the bench for a lot of games I think.
As I mentioned in my own blog, Ronaldo is a quality player but needs to stop diving and looking to the referee each time he is tackled to become a truly world class player and to stop the jeering from the English fans who hate to see that.
Spot on Mathew!!! It is the national colour of Argentina.
ReplyDeleteI had been a Man Utd fan for quite some time, since Eric Cantona era I enjoyed every game on TV. Till now I still watch them play every week and I think there were ups and downs between the season when D.Beckham left Man Utd.
ReplyDeleteSir Alex Ferguson signed C.Ronaldo as a replacement for him. I can't accept it at first, then he starts to improving after the World Cup in 2006 and became a better player. If it wasn't for him and other players like R.Giggs, P.Scholes, R.Ferdinand, W.Rooney, the Barclays Premier League would've not been won. I'm glad to say Manchester United did a fantastic job for winning the league in style. :D
Reds did it the Carlitos way, he's a great asset to United and all the fans.
ReplyDeleteThank you Argentina for Carloz Tevez!
Opps i left out Tevez, yea he came at the right moment at the right time. Manchester was right to buy him because he was doing good at West Ham and they doesn't want to sell him at first. Then after some time Tevez was released from the contract and Man Utd officially sign him up. :D
