Ayrton Costa reveals he has a Carlos Tevez quote tattooed on him | OneFootball

While the Boca squad prepares to host Talleres de Córdoba for the round of 16 of the Torneo Clausura, Ayrton Costa revealed that he has a phrase by Carlos Tevez tattooed on him, whom he will have to face next Sunday.

The Apache will return to La Bombonera as head coach of the Córdoba team. In that context, the Xeneize center-back shared that he carries a direct quote from the Boca idol on his body, with whom he shared a team in the past.

In an interview with La Nación, Ayrton Costa revealed that the phrase on his neck is “a phrase I heard Tevez say in an interview. He said that ‘everything depends on oneself’. That is, whatever you want to do with your life is up to you, it depends on you.”

Costa has cemented his place in the team and is currently an undisputed starter.

Along the same lines, the Xeneize center-back explained: “I really liked that phrase because it’s true: everything depends on oneself.” He also said about Tevez: “I had him as a coach (at Independiente) and he helped me a lot to grow in my career.”

Ayrton Costa has taken over the defense

The former Royal Antwerp footballer has managed to establish himself in the team recently. Since his arrival, he has played 23 matches and scored 2 goals. The latest was against Tigre last Sunday. So far in the Torneo Clausura, he has made 10 appearances and played 999 minutes, placing him among the ten players with the most appearances for the team in this competition.

He had to work his way up gradually and alternate roles. Along the way, he had to deal with the uncertainty of whether he could travel to the United States to play in the Club World Cup, something he was ultimately able to do, and he delivered in spades.

Today, he is one of Claudio Úbeda’s undisputed starters and a key pillar in the defense preparing for the Torneo Clausura playoffs. He has already stated that his biggest dream is to win the Copa Libertadores with the club, but that they are taking it step by step, with the local championship coming first.

The return of Carlos Tevez

This will be Carlos Tevez’s return to Boca’s stadium. The idol has already been there as a coach facing the Xeneize. He did so when he was in charge of Rosario Central. That day, the teams drew 0-0 and the coach of the Ribera team was Hugo Benjamín Ibarra.

Now he returns as the coach of Talleres de Córdoba. Sunday will be a special night for both him and the fans, who will surely welcome him with open arms, although they will want to beat him to advance to the next round of the championship.

The Apache returns to La Bombonera.

The match between Boca and Talleres will take place on Sunday, November 23 at 8:00 p.m. at the Alberto J. Armando stadium, where Claudio Úbeda’s team will seek to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
