translated from Spanish: Carlos Tevez announced his departure from Boca but did not confirm his retirement

Boca lives a special and difficult moment in his life, the last great idol announced his retirement from the institution and made it clear that he will not wear those colors again, although he still made it clear that he does not hang up his booties definitively.” It’s not a farewell, it’s a see you soon. I have nothing else to give the club as a player. Boca leads you to give your best and I mentally am not in a position to give it. The truth is that I didn’t even have time to mourn for my father,” the “Apache” said at a news conference.

Accompanied by the president, Jorge Ameal, Carlos Tevez expressed his feelings for the fans and expressed, through tears, what he needs in this specific moment that has to do with being with his family. Affected and with a broken voice, he remembered his late father, and was able to fine-market his words.” I’m left with the last image with the people, with the last ovation to Maradona on a court, coming out champion, with my old man on the court. There’s nothing cuter and I don’t need anything else to be happy. Xeneize people, thank you, my blood is not red, it will always be blue and yellow.”

“I’m fine. I’m happy with the decision I made. I feel like it’s the best. Boca is my life, that’s why I can’t fail and if mentally I’m not 100% I step aside like I’m doing,” he remarked about his last step there, being the third in his career. On the other hand, he talked about whether it was a retreat, and left the door open. “Today I tell you yes, but in 3 months I want to play, but I know that in Boca not because you have to be mentally at 120%. Maybe in a few months I’m in another role in Boca. For the fans and the people of Boquense I will always be there.”
