Tevez impressed by ‘amazing’ Messi

(GSM) – Argentina striker Carlos Tevez has heaped praise on Lionel Messi. The Manchester City forward admitted he’s amazed by the talents of the Argentine wonderchild as they prepare for the World Cup finals.

“Everything Messi does surprises me. Each training session is different,” said Tevez, according to AS.

“It’s amazing to watch him play, to train with him. Messi is an impressive guy. He shows it in every training session, at dinner, at meals.”

Tevez admitted he doubts if he will be a starter for the Albicelesti when they begin their World Cup quest next week.

“I do not know if I’ll play, there’s been no indication. I do not know what Diego (Maradona) thinks, really. I think we could play with three strikers, I would play on the left with Lionel Messi a little further back, or as he plays with Barcelona,” he noted before adding that the team are in good spirits ahead of the start of the tournament.

“We are very good. The team is happy, we’re having a great time, plenty of time together and having fun. We are very calm and very confident in ourselves.”
