<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BBC:</div><div class="quote_post">Carlos Tevez has reportedly been made to wear a Brazil top in training for a week as punishment for storming out after being substituted at the weekend. The Argentine striker has apologised for his fit of pique but Hammers boss Alan Pardew decided Tevez's team-mates should set his punishment. Tevez, 22, was first asked to donate ?1,000 to charity. The squad also insisted Tevez, who has yet to score for the club, should wear the shirt of Argentina's rivals Brazil. Tevez angrily walked out of Upton Park after being replaced by Teddy Sheringham during Saturday's 1-0 win against Sheffield United. He later apologised during training on Monday, acknowledging he did "very wrong" and that he did not mean to "disrespect" the players. Tevez joined West Ham in a shock transfer from Brazilian club Corinthians last August but has struggled to command a regular first-team place. His future at Upton Park remains unclear as he, and compatriot Javier Mascherano, were brought to West Ham by Iranian-born Kia Joorabchian, whose planned takeover fell by the wayside before Eggert Magnusson stepped in.</div>When I heard pardew was letting the players pick the punishment I was slightly concerned. I thought, that surely Pardew should be showing who is boss etc. But the punishment sounds fair, and they'll have a laugh in training and maybe tevez will feel closer to the other west ham lads after this incident. Every cloud has a silver lining etc. Just in: Tevez would rather forfeit his Premiership salary than wear the Brazil shirt.
