Juventus striker Tevez delighted with Argentina recall

Juventus striker Carlos Tevez is delighted with his recall to the Argentina squad.

Tevez was recalled by the Albiceleste for friendly matches against Croatia and Portugal.

"I'm not stupid. Before, I knew it wasn't the right moment to get back in the national team, it wasn't the right time," he said.

"Now is the appropriate time, and at this point of my career, I consider it a bonus."

On playing with Lionel Messi, Tevez added: "Messi is number one in the world, and I've thought and said this for a long time. Playing with him is the greatest pleasure for any player."
