Jardim wary of Tevez threat

Leonardo Jardim believes Carlos Tevez poses the biggest threat to Monaco when they take on Juventus in their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday.

The Argentina international has been in sensational form this season, scoring 25 goals in all competitions, and is expected to start in midweek despite a recent thigh injury.

The first leg of the last-eight tie takes place at the Juventus Stadium, and while admitting the collective quality of the opposition, Jardim has warned his players to pay special attention to Tevez.

“Tevez is Serie A’s top goalscorer and has plenty of experience and quality. We’ll need to keep an eye on him but it’s not just about Tevez,” he told reporters.

“Juventus are a strong group and also have Serie A’s best defence. We will play in an organised fashion, sticking to collective goals both in attack and defence.

“All my players are obliged to work hard in winning the ball back. In that sense you could say we play like an Italian side.”
