It has now been revealed that the schedule of games during the festive season in the United Kingdom had left Carlos Tevez in tears when he was playing for Manchester United and Manchester City. It is a big tradition in the tradition in the British Isles to have football and Christmas linked together in a big way. After coming into English football through West Ham, Carlos Tevez gained prominence after making the switch to Manchester United in the summer of 2007. From there, he spent the next two years at Old Trafford where he played alongside defender Patrice Evra.

The displeasure with English football soon led to the move to Juventus in 2013. “I remember we played on New Year’s Day at Newcastle. I remember the night before we had dinner at 7pm, and then at 7:30pm, everyone went to their room.I went to my bedroom and I remember I went to see Carlos Tevez in his room, and he was in tears.I said: ‘Carlito, what’s happened?’ He said to me that it’s a tradition to celebrate with family and he was so emotional that he wasn’t with his kids, it was quite tough for him. I woke up the next day and it was like nothing had happened,” said Evra.
