The Argentinian striker Carlos Tevez should improve his physical condition, before rising again to hopes of a place at the team of Shanghai Shenhua.

The coach is not pleased with the deal, which according to him is overweight and that will reflect negatively on his performance.

Last December, Tevez signed a contract for 610 000 pounds per week to become the best-paid footballer in the world, but in 15 appearances he scored only two goals, and in addition, there was an injury.

`He will be informed of my tactical plans, but at this stage, he will not be in love with the team. In physical terms, he is not ready. He has to take off a few pounds as Freddy Guarin. My responsibility is the team, so if someone is not in an optimum condition, then he will not be on the field. I never choose players because of their reputation.`, said the coach, who had recently replaced Gustavo Poyet leading the team.

The poor state of Tevez is in tune with the poor performance of Shenhua, who, after 24 rounds has only 24 points and is only on the 12th place in the ranking, which is 32 points from the leader Guangzhou Evergrande.
