After leaving Boca Juniors this summer, former prolific striker Carlos Tevez shows no signs of interest in returning to the football pitches.The Argentine is enjoying life away from the sport and as he puts it – has no ‘fire or desire’.As his action-packed career began to wind down, Tevez moved back to his homeland and spent the last five seasons with his boyhood club. And while he is yet to announce his official retirement – he admits he is ‘enjoying the moment’ away from the top level.’I don’t feel the desire to be there when the ball is rolling. On Saturday I had a wedding while Boca were playing and inside I thought that, if I were playing, I’d be missing the wedding,’ Tevez said to ESPN.’If that result (a 1-0 defeat to Gimnasia) happened like that, I wouldn’t go because I’d be angry and I wouldn’t take any photos or have a drink; everyone would say Boca lost and Tevez was out partying. Football is like that.Sunday, bloody Sunday! Savage scenes in Argentina as a manager gets wounded by a gunshot fired from the fans’Am I thinking about coming back? All my friends and family ask me, but I don’t know where to start. Right now I am enjoying the moment.’You start to wonder but in the meantime I am taking care of myself. I would like something to grab my interest and motivate me or which brings something out of me, but right now, every time I watch Juventus, Boca or a team I’ve played for, I look inside myself for that fire to motivate myself to play for six months or a year longer and I can’t find it.’ the ex-Argentina international explained.During the peak of his powers, Tevez was one of the most prolific forwards in world football – ‘El Apache’ dazzled during successful spells with two rivaling clubs from Manchester (United and City) as well as with Italian giants Juventus.##NAJAVA_MECA_5951186##His one spell in China (played for Shanghai Shenhua) was in his own view ‘a holiday’ and during that time especially his passion for the game slowly dwindled.In 2018 he revealed he was ‘not a football fanatic’ and preferred to watch golf.’If Barcelona-Real Madrid is on, I change the channel to watch golf. I was never a football fanatic. I like to have the ball between my feet.’ he said in the interview.
