Tata Martino: Carlos Tevez can't take Lionel Messi's role

Tata Martino says Carlos Tevez cannot fill the gap that Lionel Messi's injury leaves in the Argentina team.

The Barcelona star is out for the next few weeks with a knee problem, but the former Blaugrana manager isn't going to ask Tevez to play like Messi. 

"Tevez cannot do Messi's role because Lionel plays like a number seven and I do not see Carlos playing there," Martino explained, per beIN Sports. 

"For Carlos it does not suit him at all to go to the wings. He can play in the position that he did at Juventus or how he does now at Boca."
