Carlos Tevez' life story to be made into a movie

Carlos Tevez revealed today that his life-story is to be made into a movie.

The film should climax with Tevez's dramatic impact on English football, which will hit a new peak if he helps United beat Chelsea in the Champions League final in Moscow on Wednesday.

"Once this game is over, I will be going back to Argentina. In June a film about my life will be started and that will be a thrilling project to be involved in," said Tevez today.

After a first season in the Premier League when Tevez was instrumental in saving West Ham United from relegation, the Argentina international moved to Old Trafford last year. He has already helped Alex Ferguson's side win the league title and success in Europe will further vindicate his decision to join United.

"I know a lot of South Americans prefer to play in Italy or Spain when they move to Europe but I am really pleased that I came here," said Tevez, who has scored 19 goals this season. "This is the best league in the world and I am among some of the best footballers in the world here.

"I am not one to be making comparisons between clubs, but Manchester United are right up there with anyone in the world. Everyone has treated me well and made me feel right at home. The fans even shout 'Argentina'."

"Maybe one day I will play in (Spain's) La Liga but that is a long way off. At the moment I am more than happy here. I would certainly love to extend my contract. I would go and sign right now if the opportunity was there."

Tevez scored vital goals against AS Roma and Olympique Lyon to help United reach Wednesday's final, which the 24-year-old believes will be closely watched in his home country.

"After the World Cup and the domestic tournaments, it is the most followed competition," said Tevez. "For a player, being involved in it, it is the second biggest thing you can be involved in after the World Cup."
