CARLOS TEVEZ paid a hefty price for his fiery Latin temper
yesterday when the Argentina striker was forced to wear a BRAZIL
shirt in training.
The West Ham ace also donated around £1,000 to Great Ormond Street
Hospital as his laughing team-mates passed sentence on his wildcat
walkout.
Tevez, 22, stormed out of Upton Park in a tantrum over being
substituted against Sheffield United.
The sulking star apologised for his outburst on Monday.
Instead of being fined a weeks wages, boss Alan Pardew handed the
matter over to the squad in a bid to defuse the incident and retain
team spirit.
Tevez stood trial at the clubs training ground yesterday and was
told to write out a cheque for charity.
But his face sunk when his team-mates brought out a shirt in the
colours of Argentinas deadly rivals Brazil and made him put it
on.
Tevez faces an uncertain future at West Ham following last weeks
£107million takeover by Icelandic biscuit baron Eggert
Magnusson.
He is frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities.
Meanwhile, Pardew has rapped Chelsea for letting the cat out of the
bag over his interest in winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Blues chief executive Peter Kenyon has revealed West Ham made
enquiries about the £10m-rated misfit, who has endured a
frustrating 16 months since a £21m move from Manchester City.
Pardew said: I do not want to get into an argument with them. But
with regards to their business methods, all Id say is its a bit
unusual.
Tevez made to wear Brazil colours.
