Carlos Tevez’s agent, Kia Joorabchian, responded to Gary Neville’s claims that the striker “shot down tools” during his final days at Manchester United.
Tevez spent two years at Old Trafford after the arrival of his West Ham loan in 2007, but angered fans by leaving for bitter rival Manchester City, where he would add a third Premier League title to the two he won at United.
Having praised Tevez’s association with Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo as “out of this world” and “impressive” during the striker’s time with the club, Neville went on to tell The Football Show that he was disappointed by the way Tevez left. .
“What bothered me about Tevez was that he dropped the tools in his second season,” said Neville. “I was disappointed because, as a professional, he did not act the right way.”
But Joorabchian has insisted to Sky Sports News that Tevez was fully committed to Manchester United and highlighted Argentina’s record for the club in the 2008/09 season.
When asked if there was anything wrong with Tevez’s attitude during his senior year, Joorabchian said: “Absolutely not, he was desperate to play. He scored 15 goals with seven assists, his record was excellent. Each time, he was available for every game. ” except for the three he lost due to injury.
“I think the professionalism of the person to be questioned is Gary Neville because he did not do his homework in Carlos’ career or as a reporter to say why Tevez was not [professional]. He never made phone calls, he never asked me or anyone else the question to find out what happened. He only makes comments over and over.
“By saying things like that, he is putting a mark on the back of a player who has won double or triple the trophies he has won. Carlos has won trophies in every league he has played in, he has been nominated as a player in the year in South America more than any other player in history and now, at 34, he has just won the league and scored the winning goal with Boca Juniors again. “
Neville had also said about Tevez: “He started sitting at the treatment table, started going out late to train, started playing … I understood that he had circumstances, but his people were in his ear all the time and he was so directed by its people. It was always going to end. “
But Joorabchian defended his player against the accusations and revealed that United had the option to sign Tevez permanently from West Ham, but did not take it.
He said, “Generally speaking, Gary Neville talked about professionalism, the treatment table and talked about the people who are in his [Tevez’s] ear. What you don’t understand is, and this is when a journalist must have the correct information, no matter who was in his ear, no matter who was speaking to him, if Man United had wanted to exercise an option, all they had to do was sign a document and send it to the Premier League.
“He wanted to stay at Man United right after Moscow and win the Champions League when he came in and he knew what he had to do. He had to get under the skin of Chelsea, he got [Didier] Drogba said goodbye and ended on penalties, which they won, and it was a great moment.
“They came back and he, Rooney and Ronaldo had a great combination going forward, they were very happy, but Man United didn’t exercise the option. It was as simple as that.”
“Gary Neville speaks of people who are in his ear as if Tevez decided to leave at that time during that year, but it was Man United who did not exercise that option. Tevez only decided after the option had expired that he had been sitting.” there for nine months and no one has exercised the option.
Neville feels that, at their peak at Manchester United, Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo were the best top three in Premier League history.
“Let’s be clear here, Tevez, for a year, with Ronaldo and Rooney, it was impressive,” Neville said on The Football Show.
“He was out of this world, he really was. Not just because of the quality of the players, but because there was a really selfish, horrible and unpleasant determination for those three.”
“Ronaldo in a different way on the field, in the sense that he would not be kicking people, teasing people and rushing. He was just huge in terms of his performance levels. But Rooney and Tevez were street fighters, with an incredible skill.
“We talk about the best three strikers in the Premier League. You will never beat those three for me. You can talk about [Sadio] Mane, [Mohamed] Salah and [Roberto] Firmino, I love you to pieces. [Raheem] Pound sterling, [Sergio] Aguero and [Leroy] Sane in the city too.
“But that three front of Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez at its peak was out of this world.”
