It is perhaps a new mourning that is about to live the Argentine football.
A few months after the death of the legend Maradona, it is to Carlos Tevez that the country of the Albiceleste must, on the ground, say goodbye.
"It is not a farewell to this jersey but a goodbye, because I will always be there, but more as a player," corrected the Apache.
Tevez has indeed taken the decision to terminate his contract, which would run until December 2021, at Boca Juniors, as a clause authorized.
But not to see if the grass is greener elsewhere.
“I don't have the resources, mentally, to continue.
I don't know what I'm going to do with my life, now I want to rest and be with my family, ”he said.
The former Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus Turin striker was particularly affected by the death of his adoptive father, who died in February by the Covid-19.
“Boca asks you to give your maximum, and mentally, I was not able to do it.
I did not have time to mourn my father who I was already playing again, ”testified the striker.
If he did not rule out the idea of continuing to play football, he in any case ruled out wearing the jersey of another club in Argentina.
At 37, retirement seems very close for the scorer in 76 caps with the Albiceleste.
