I Never knew how Good Tevez was :Buffon


The Juventus captain has admitted he was blown
away by just how quickly the Argentina
international settled in Turin
Gianluigi Buffon claims he had no idea how
"sensational" Carlos Tevez was before the
Argentine joined Juventus .
Tevez arrived in Turin from Manchester City in the
summer of 2013, with the Bianconeri paying €14
million for the forward's services.
The deal was considered a gamble by some
pundits, due to his tumultuous time at the Etihad
Stadium.
However, he has been a huge success in Italy,
firing Juve to back-to-back Serie A titles and the
final of this season's Champions League.
"Carlos is a player we didn't know and I didn't
really know before," Buffon is quoted as saying by
Uefa.
"But these last two years he has really been an
unbelievable surprise because he integrated into
the team right away and adapted immediately to
our way of working and training.
"It is certainly different to English football and also
different to the Argentine mentality.
"It was something he had to deal with, but he
immediately began working hard to try to
understand what was being demanded of him.
"Now he knows perfectly what he has to do to help
the team and to help his team-mates.
"He understands at every moment of a match when
he has to help out, when he has to make an extra
run, when he perhaps needs to commit a foul, or
when he has to keep the ball.
"He is a really hard worker and just a great man. I
am very happy to play alongside him and to have
met him."
Tevez, whose fine form this season secured him an
international recall after three years in international
exile, has scored 39 goals in 66 Serie A
appearances for Juve.
