Carlos Tevez once again mentioned the fading passion for football and a possible early end to his career.
Representing the club, the 26-year-old Argentine gave an interview to the newspaper "News of the World" talking about the constant stress and pressure experienced in the English championship, as well as physical fatigue.
"I've played quite a few matches this season and my body feels it already," Tevez said. "I started playing when I was very young and always was known for my fighting spirit, but now I feel the consequences of all that."
"I'm an old man starting to think about other things. When I talk about the end, I mean for the club, not just the national team. But at the moment I can't say when I will finish - in a month, a year, three or five."
"The idea of retiring is in my head. Maybe I will wake up one morning and decide that it's time already."
