Beyond the gap between both Manchester United and Manchester City, he specializes in Argentina, as he crosses the gap between Juventus and Manchester City, it’s fair to say that Carlos Tevez’s career is not short in the moments to remember and the moments of his teammates.
The iconic forward shared a dressing room with some of the best players in football history, but the two who quickly stand out are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Tevez became an Olympic gold medalist with Argentina’s Lionel Messi in 2004, but he was the most successful along with club-level Ronaldo.
During the two seasons they played together at Old Trafford from 2007 to 2009, the offensive duo won the Premier League, Club World Cup, League Cup and Champions League twice. To say their partnership was a success is an incredible understatement.
Their best season helped Manchester United head into another season when they scored a total of 45 Premier League goals in the 2007/08 campaign.

Of course, it was not so long ago that Tevez committed the ultimate sin of trading Old Trafford and committed the opportunity to join Arch rival Manchester City.
The often-impact Tevez has had when partnering with Manchester United’s Argentina and Ronaldo Messi, and the forward has been filled with praise for many years, previously told reporters. “Cristiano had to work and prepare to be the best, but for Leo it comes naturally.

“These are the biggest differences we can see between the two best players on the planet. Messi plays a different sport. It’s normal for him to score three goals (in any game).”
But when Messi and Ronaldo were asked to choose his best teammate as much as stealing headlines, Tevez chose to name the legend of England and United in place of the man who ruled the Baron de Or podium for over a decade.

Tevez, who snubbed both Messi and Ronaldo, revealed that Wayne Rooney was his best teammate in an interview broadcast by Gibemesport.
The impact that the English legend had as part of the deadly front three with Ronaldo and Tevez is clearly something the latter has not forgotten and will not do so soon.
“I had the honor of playing with great players. At United, there was Cristiano on the team and Messi on the national team. Boca Junior had striker Martin Palermo for his teammates. He was very impressive.
“And even though we share the same humble origins, the humility he grew up in Liverpool was clearly a little more endurable than the Argentinean Fuerte Apache, where I grew up.”
Some people quickly underestimate Rooney’s influence, but Tevez went as far as to advance the former United on top of the two great football players when discussing his best teammates.
