Argentine has ’sacrificed’ self for the team

Manchester Utd’s thoroughly over-crowded frontline was bound to piss someone off sooner or later, and that person has emerged as Carlos Tevez, the man who has scored a solitary goal this season, and who has become rather too well acquainted with the bench since a stroppy Bulgarian arrived in town:

“I’m not as effective in the area any more. The person up front has to do a lot more for the team than score goals.

“They have to play more for the team and I think I’ve sacrificed myself recently.

“I’m not as dangerous. That is something I’ve lost. I have to get that back. I used to score great goals.

“But something strange happened.”

The striker seems to imply that he is not being used to his full potential in a red shirt, and is playing a dangerous game by pointing the finger at the gaffer.

Yet Fergie doesn’t seem to be the only one giving Tevez a headache - bonus points for anyone who can guess which new arrival the number 32 is unhappy with:

“I feel better if I play a front role but I also play as a No 9 when I have to.”

Swedish WAG has plenty going on upstairs

Top heavy model-types who earn themselves a footballer are all too often tarred with the ‘you’re quite thick’ brush. Today’s Euro 2008 WAG of the Day, however, is a notabale exception - 37-year-old Swede Helena Seger has an economics degree, has worked as a marketing manager for Swatch and FlyMe and probably speaks better English than you and I.

In his time, Inter Milan and Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimović has been linked with a whole host of European models, but it was Helena he met at a party in 2002, and they now have two sons together.
