I'm not much fluent in written French, Santas. Why did he refuse to play for CV?

Ce jeune footballeur longiligne, mesurant 1 m 86 pour un poids de 77 kilos, est le fils d'un ancien sociétaire du Diaraf et de la Police, Tony Tavares alias ‘'Zagallo'' né à la Médina et a grandi à Rebeuss. Sa volonté de jouer pour le Sénégal n'est pas étrangère à ce passé de son père. ''Bien que je sois d'origine cap-verdienne, le coeur a déjà choisi et il bat pour le Sénégal'', indique le père de Michael Tavares.
