I heard a story about him from someone who rents a house from the same landlord as Tevez about going round to Tevez's rented house and finding that him and his mates from Argentina who apparently just sit and play computers games and there was one of them who could not even be bothered to go to the toilet and would just shit on a newspaper and wrap it up and leave it there for the cleaner to pick up. True story. I heard it last year when he was everyones hero so kept it to myself.
I maybe do not buy the depression story but it would be understandable. He is not a normal guy. He was not cut out for the life he lives and certainly does not make his own decisions. He is a puppet for other people and has no say in his own life. No amount of money could make me want to live his life.
I havent trawled through all of this thread but I've heard people scoff at him being depressed then mention 'how can you be depressed on 200k a week' I've never suffered from it myself but know many who do. I have been down because of certain situations recently and its a horrible feeling but one I can and have shaken off. To be clinically depressed like he is claiming is completely different and it does not matter how much money or perceived happiness you should have. It's always there.
Playing devils advocate. It made me laugh post Munich with a whole host of ex players, pundits, and I am sure even people on this board saying he had committed the worst thing a player could do. Really? Is he worst than say someone who has killed someone as there are a few of those earning thousands of pounds playing football in England or someone who has constantly cheated on wife whilst projecting himself as sqeeky clean? What about a drug cheat? Assaulted his own team mate? Or sexually assaulted a women. Tons of them playing every week. A granny shagger and a tax dodger? Match fixing anyone?
He's a fucking idiot that is for sure. But this whole affair has be blown out of proportion.
He wasn`t toooooo depressed to get on the plane to Argentina. He`s actually pissing up the back of those that do suffer from it. He`s a wanker and you can`t get a sick note for that.
