The "that of the hand of Carlos Tevez all the return we will give" was a fair retribution. This time the heart of La Doce did not start it . It spread throughout the Bombonera to thank the captain, who suffered a metamorphosis since he started driving Riquelme in the club and felt the same old Carlitos , not the one who migrated to China in the shadows and turned off.
This Apache is the 36-year-old player Juan Román Riquelme called to tell him that if he wanted to stay in the club he should change. That I had to lower the profile, that I had to feel like playing again . And that he had to change his position on the court. Carlitos accepted.
Then Miguel Angel Russo did his part: he conditioned his ownership to performance. He did not sweeten it with words, but instead put an off-road player like Franco Soldano.
Tevez was lethal in this final stretch: six goals and a performance that raised the rest . It was a thermometer for the team since its delivery, challenged companions offline and put that bomb that broke Broun's hands. It will be difficult to say that it was not his best night with such a goal, the one that will remain in history. Beyond the unevenness, he always injected confidence and Boca felt it. Already without the sponsorship of Daniel Angelici who once weighed him out and also for the costumes. Tevez was Carlitos .
“This is something that cannot be explained. I do not fall. It is one of the biggest emotions I had in football. I don't know how many titles I have, but this is like the first one. It's what keeps me in football, ”said Tevez, who reached his tenth star with Boca's shirt. In 2003 he gave his first Olympic lap.
"I was hungry for glory again, I felt again that I had to go back to my neighborhood, get off a lot of things and fight like the kid who just started," said Carlitos , greened in this 2020.
Where was the secret of this start over? “It was three years of fighting my head and a lot of things. I always kept working, trying to get out of that well that made me eternal. Going back to my roots and feeling those things I felt when I started playing was what I had to find and luckily I did it, ”explained the captain.
On the hand in hand with River, he emphasized: “We fought him, we fought until the end and I think we were a worthy rival. This group knew how to play a lot with the pressure and is what rescued the most from this Boca champion. ” And he thanked Alfaro: "It was a very important piece."
Now there will be what is coming. A contract that ends in June and will be extended for a year with other economic conditions but also, again, with Riquelme marking the court in the group driving he intends for his club. If Carlitos accepts, he will continue to retire as he wants, with the blue and gold on his chest.
