Man City striker Tevez: Every night I dream of being world champion

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez says every night he dreams of being world champion.

Tevez admits he cannot bear to think of losing to Germany in Saturday's World Cup quarter-final.

The 26-year-old Manchester City striker and his team-mates will attempt to book their place in the semi-finals in Cape Town on Saturday evening with the alternative simply not an option.

"Why not think I can be a champion? Every night, I do," said Tevez. "I have a hunger for glory so great that I can not imagine the great sadness there would be without the cup. I could not bear to lose on Saturday."

Tevez's non-stop approach and skill have made him a crowd favourite, and he is desperate to deliver the biggest prize of all for the fans.

"It makes me really happy. It must be my way of playing," he said. "I give everything for every ball, and people identify with that.

"Hopefully, with all the boys, we can give them the joy we all hope for."
