WORLD CUP 2010: Carlos Tevez in fruity fitness fight for Argentina's opener
Carlos Tevez has been on a strict diet of fruit and vegetables to slim down for the World Cup.

But I have to be a professional and this is a World Cup - you have to be responsible. [LNB]'I also hired a personal trainer. I have eaten a lot of fruit and vegetables since working with the nutritionist. Let's see if all the suffering will be worth it or not.' [LNB] With the likes of Lionel Messi and Gonzalo Higuain in his ranks, Argentina coach Diego Maradona is spoiled for choice in attack. [LNB]Tevez said: 'I do know that today I'm not in the starting line-up. It's easy to explain, as I didn't score 15 goals in the qualifiers. [LNB]'I had my chances with Argentina but I didn't take them. So now I have to fight hard and that's the way it supposed to be. [LNB]'I want to play in the first game against Nigeria but Messi and Higuain are in great form. [LNB]'We have the greatest forwards in the world but we have to show that in the World Cup.'[LNB] Click here to sign up for Sportsmail's daily World Cup emailGROUP B LOWDOWN: Argentina, Greece, Nigeria and South KoreaWORLD CUP 2010: Boost for England as injured Gareth Barry trains with squad in South Africa Anelka has the style and elegance of Van Basten, claims AncelottiMANCHESTER CITY FC
