Carlos Tevez has had a great career by any player’s standards, winning league titles in England, Italy and Argentina as well as the Champions League.
While there are several great players who can boast a CV similar to or better than that of Tevez, very few can say that they have played with the two best players of their generation- Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
In an interview with ‘depor.com’ the Argentia striker opened up about the differences between these two footballing icons, who have battled it out with each other at the highest level for over a decade.
“‘Lionel Messi, I never saw him in the gym.” the former Argentine international said.
“I’ve never seen him train in the stops or do technical exercises. It is all natural to him, but on penalties he trained: first he did not take them and now he shoots them all at the corner.”
While Messi naturally is one of the best around, it seems as though his rival is extremely hard-working.
“Cristiano always stopped in the gym after training: for him it is an obsession and, being the best in everything, he always arrived at work early,” Tevez continued.
“When the training was set for nine in the morning I arrived at eight and he was already there. Even if I arrived at 7.30 he was already there.”
