Carlos Tevez knows what it is like to be unable to set foot on a pitch after losing a father. 🥺
On Radio La Red, the Apache recalled the death of Segundo, his adoptive father, which occurred in February 2021 when he was 58 years old, after 45 days hospitalized in intensive care due to complications from neck surgery. “I couldn’t go on, I stepped aside, I said this is as far as I go”, he confessed. That blow not only broke his heart: it took away his desire to play, until in 2022 he announced his official retirement from the pitch.
That is why, when Lionel Messi returned to Inter Miami after saying goodbye to his father Jorge in Rosario and left the door open to reconsidering his future, Tevez did not hesitate to ask for something simple: respect. No one knows better than him that football can wait when the pain has not yet passed.
