Old haunt,new start for Tevez, Argentia.

LONDON;

Carlos Tevez will end three years international
exile in the familiar surroundings of upton
Park when World Cup runners up Argentina
tackle  Croatia in a friendly in London on Wednesday.

 Tevez has not played for Argentina since
their quarter-final defeat on penalties by Uruguay
on home soil at the 2011 Copa America when
he was the only player to miss a spot-kick.

Frozen out by former coach Alejandro Sabella,
who stood down after steering Argentina to
second place at the World up Tevez has been
recalled by Sabella's successor Garardo Martino.

Tevez spent only one reason at Upton Park
but he is fondly remembered there after scoring
a winning goal at Manchester United on the
season's final day that spared West Ham from
slipping into the second tier.

However Sabella's belief  that he and Lionel
Messi could not be successfully accommodated
in the same team meant that Tevez international
career slipped into limbo.

But with Messi having developed a fruitful
understanding with Gonzalo Higuain and
Sergio Aguero during Tevez'slong absence
 Martino has warned that he may have to
wait for opportunities to add to his 64 caps
and 13 international goals.

Argentina have played three friendlies  since
their 1-0 extra-time lose to Germany
in the World Cup final gaining a measure
of  revange against Joachim Loew's side
with 4-2 win in Duesseldorf in September
before losing 2-0 to Brazil in Bejing and
crushing Hong Kong 7-o

Argentina represents a challenge for
our players to see who can cope with
that kind of opponent ,
If there is not enough motivation in
them they are in the wrong business'
