• 'Football is only about money and I don't like
it'
• 'Young players are not interested in winning, only money'
Manchester
City's Carlos
Tevez has
attacked the greed of overpaid young players in the
Premier
League,
claiming they are more interested in lining their pockets than
winning trophies.
The Argentinian is so disenchanted with the state of the game he
has vowed to quit within "three or four years" and said he would
rather punch some of his colleagues than listen to their
advice.
"I don't want to play any more. I'm tired of football but also
tired of people who work in football," said Tevez. "I'm talking
seriously. Football is only about money and I don't like it.
"There are so many agents with really young footballers, it's
awful as these young players are not interested in winning titles.
They only want money."
The 26-year-old, who has three and a half years left on his
£145,000-a-week contract, said football was full of uneducated "bad
people".
"The young players think that they have won something in
football because they have two cell phones and a house. Today there
are many bad people in the football business and you have to fight
with them all the time. I'm tired of that, too. I'm going to play
football for three or four years in Europe, then I will quit.
"Today the young players have no education at all and I don't
want to listen to them," Tevez told Argentinian television station
TyC Sports. "When I played in Boca [Juniors], when [Martín] Palermo
or [Juan Román] Riquelme talked, I listened to them.
"So I don't want a young player to tell me, 'Why did you do
that?' in the dressing room. I would punch [them], as I have won 13
titles in my career."
