After the striker had seemingly slammed Chinese players and the level of play in the country, his club came out strongly in his defence
Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua has come out strongly in defense of Argentine striker Carlos Tevez, who was quoted as saying that Chinese players are “not good” and “won’t be able to compete in 50 years”, claiming his comments in an interview with the SFR Sport “are being exaggerated and blown out of proportion”.
The former Manchester City and Manchester United forward was already coming under fire in China before his interview, with Shanghai Shenhua chairman Wu Xiaohui recently admiting that the big-money signing hadn't lived up to expectations.
