Carlos Tevez has explained he didn't want to learn English during his lengthy stay in the country as he has a "cultural problem" with England due to the Falklands War.
Tevez spent seven years in England and would become a fan favourite at all three of his clubs thanks to unbelievable performances for West Ham, Manchester United and Manchester City. His standing in the red half of Manchester understandably soured after he crossed enemy lines in 2009 to join the Blues, a signing that led to the 'Welcome to Manchester' billboard and the start of City's trophy success.
Despite spending a decent chunk of his career in England, Tevez decided early on that he would not learn English despite being urged to do so by teammate and compatriot Pablo Zabaleta. The 39-year-old has now revealed that he didn't want to because his uncle was a promising footballer who saw his career cut short after being called up to fight in the Falklands War and afterwards descended into alcoholism.
