Carlos Tevez

Carlos Tevez (full name Carlos Alberto Tevez) born in February 5 of 1984 in the location of Ciudadela, Buenos Aires, Argentina, is a soccer striker who made his name with Argentine giant Boca Juniors and currently plays for Brazil´s Corinthians.

Carlos Tevez was born and raised in the humble neighbourhood of Ejército de Los Andes, known as "Fuerte Apache", from where he got the nickname of Apache. Carlitos has a scar from the right ear to his chest, product of a burn with boiling water when he was a young boy. He declined plastic surgery since he would have to be out of the playground for four months.

He joined Boca Juniors at the age of thirteen and played his first professional match with Boca on October 21, 2001 against Talleres de Córdoba. Carlos Tevez played for the team until the end of 2004.

With Boca Juniors he won an Argentine Championship (2003), a Copa Libertadores (2003), an Intercontinental Cup (2003), and a Copa Sudamericana (2004). Because of the Intercontinental Cup of 2003, Carlos Tevez didn´t participate in the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship with the national team of Argentina.
He was a key part of Boca Juniors victory in the 2003 Copa Libertadores, but his greatest achievement was during the 2004 Olympic Games, where he won the gold medal with his team, and scored eight goals in six matches to be the top scorer of the competition. Carlos Tevez also participated in the 2004 Copa América, helping Argentina to the runner-up spot.

In December 2004, Carlos Tevez transferred to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista for $20 million with a five year contract worth $10 million, following the Brazilian club´s deal with Media Sports Investment. The deal was the biggest transfer ever in South American football. Initially Carlos was not well received by the Corinthians fans - including Brazilian president Lula. However, Tevez has since become the captain and star of the team that won the 2005 Brazilian league, and the fans´ favourite player and has been recently linked to Chelsea FC as a result of Roman Abramovich´s link to MSI.
