The Argentine star Carlos Tevez revealed one of the strangest moments in his career, during his early days with West Ham United following the 2006 World Cup.

Tevez said that he arrived at the club with Javier Mascherano, but the shock came on the first day when the then-coach Alan Pardew called them in for a meeting.

He added, "Honestly, I didn't ask for your presence," thus Bardo began his speech, before the situation became even stranger, as the translator explained that the coach didn't even know them and asked what position they played in!

Tevez continued in surprise: "We had just finished participating in the World Cup, it was crazy... At that moment, we realized we wouldn't play even a single match under his leadership."

Tevez's statements highlight one of the most bizarre stories in the world of transfers and reflect the level of chaos that can sometimes occur behind the scenes in football.
