Tevez turns it on

Argentine shines in opener on mixed weekend for CSL's foreign brigade, writes Ji Ye.

The world's best-paid player, Carlos Tevez, went a little way to justifying his staggering wage packet in his Chinese Super League debut on Sunday, but not every expensive import translated into instant success on the opening weekend of the new CSL season.

Argentine Tevez, reportedly earning a cool $750,000 a week following his $84 million move from Boca Juniors in December, converted a penalty and set up two goals as Shanghai Shenhua romped to a 4-0 victory at home to last season's runner-up, Jiangsu Suning.
