Maradona heaps praise on Man City striker Tevez

Argentina coach Diego Maradona is delighted with the World Cup form of Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.

Maradona talked up two of his major stars ahead of Sunday's last-16 meeting with Mexico.

He said no player had come with 30% of the form of Lionel Messi, 23 yesterday, in the tournament so far.

The Argentina coach also talked up Manchester City striker Tevez.

"I don't know if people will say I'm arrogant but none was 30% of Tevez either because Carlitos thrills you."
