Tevez: Hammers are special

Carlos Tevez has admitted he holds a special bond for West Ham much like his other previous club Boca Juniors. The Man Utd striker visits Upton Park for the first time since his summer move from West Ham.

"To play at West Ham will be very special for me," Tevez said in the Mirror.

"It will be a very special reunion with the fans who I had a great relationship with.

"I lived there for one year and it was like home for me because the fans were so sensational.

"I hope after everything we went through last season they will give me a good reception because I feel anything else would be unjust.

"I haven't decided what I will do yet if I score, but it is possible I will not celebrate out of respect to the West Ham fans. They are incredible.

"But my problems at West Ham was not with the fans but with the directors who searched for every obstacle to stop me leaving the club.

"That was hard for me because I felt I had done everything for West Ham and yet they would not let me pursue my dream. I suppose I should be flattered they wanted me to stay but it was a very hard time for me."
