Football: Tevez keeps spot in Argentina
The coach and player had a heart-to-heart talk and Tevez and was included in Batista’s provisional 26-man squad.
BUENOS AIRES:
Striker Carlos Tevez, who seemed to be out of Argentina’s Copa America plans little more than a month ago, was named in the hosts’ 23-man squad for the tournament. Tevez was dropped by Batista last year over a no-show for a friendly against arch-rivals Brazil in Qatar which Argentina won 1-0 with a goal by Lionel Messi. However, the coach and player had a heart-to-heart talk and Tevez, who last season became the first Argentine to finish as top goal-scorer in the English Premier League, was included in Batista’s provisional 26-man squad.
