Tevez has no World Cup hopes, avoids watching Argentina
Last Updated:
The 29-year-old, who has been in fine scoring form with 10 Serie A goals for juve so far this season, has been overlooked since Alejandro Sabella became Argentina coach in August 2011.
"If Sabella hasn`t called me up, I`m not going to phone him to find out why he doesn`t pick me," Tevez told Argentina`s La Red radio station.
"Sabella must not be asked to call me up... Let him work in peace because it`s not easy for Sabella not to call me. I know there`s a lot of pressure especially from fans."
The former Manchester City, Manchester United and West Ham United striker said he had a good relationship with the Argentina players and national team captain Lionel Messi.
"I have no problems with the group and I get on great with Messi. I don`t lose sleep over the World Cup. I don`t think I will watch it because it hurts me to see the national team, it`s bad for me," he said.
Some media pundits say Tevez, who last played for Argentina in the 2011 Copa America quarter-final defeat by Uruguay, may not fit into Sabella`s tactical plans while others argue that he might disrupt the squad`s harmony.
Tevez was part of the Argentina teams that reached the quarter-finals of the last two World Cups in Germany in 2006 and South Africa in 2010.
Argentina, winners in 1978 and 1986, are in Group F with Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria at next year`s finals in Brazil which kick off on June 12.
