When Carlos Tevez Refused To Go On The Field 😲  

It’s funny how the media made us think he just refused to play.

For a short period of time Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo where dynamite together

Tevez was a beast! 🥶

As a City fan I knew at the time he didn’t refuse to go on, it was obvious, Mancini was a great manager for us and the right character to turn our club from a joke to winners, but he did lose his head very quickly

Tevez was the real deal What a player, what a guy

TEVEZ WAS THE REAL DEAL EVERY FAN WANTS A TEVEZ IN THEIR TEAM........ THEY ARE VERY, VERY, VERY RARE

Tevez was one of those rare cases where ex team mates said he wouldn't train hard tho every time he went on the pitch he produced brilliance

People just say about how players need to respect their manager. If managers don’t respect them, they don’t deserve the same respect

Still crazy how West Ham got Tevez and Mach before the other big dogs snapped them up

Tevez was a savage 😂

Tevez won us our first trophies

"I'm warm"😂😂😂

Tévez was cold in the BPL! We’ll never forget Carlos Tévez

It’s always refreshing to hear the real story other than the media spin.

Tevez , man and beast together ..from the streets .. pure and desire to win is second to none... Machini couldn't handle the talent.. Just an emotional manager

tevez unreal clutch player

That Argentina team with Riquelme, Tevez, and Messi was such a joy to watch.

The whole thing was Mancini fault. His arrogance kicked the whole thing off that night and I’ll explain why. We were smashing everyone in the league at that point and the press conference for the Bayern game was happening and Dzeko is sitting there with Mancini like a fucking enforcer, kinda being the big I am. Remember he was fresh off 4 goals against Spurs a few weeks earlier. So back to point, We we’re expected to go to Munich and boss Bayern but what happened was that we were given a lesson in the finer details of football. Bayern we’re all over us and it wasn’t even close. Mancini was getting his ass handed to him by a superior tactical group and Dzeko was absolutely null and void. Mancini hooks him and Dzeko starts on Mancini, Mancini goes in hard back as a coach would. Meanwhile Tevez as Mics is saying has been warming up for ages and not yet sent on so he sits down, by this time, Mancini is seething from his verbals with Dzeko, starts on tevez, now remember trouble had been brewing between Mancini and Tevez since the season before so the relationship was already frayed long before Munich and it only need this to explode and explode it did. Mancini started berating Tevez for not continuing to warm up and Tevez just said fuck you and fuck off. Mancini had been taking digs at Tevez in the media when Tevez wanted to leave but no one was willing to pay city’s valuation of 50 mil so he was still with us at the beginning of this new 11/12 season and when asked about it, Mancini said to the media, no one wanted him. He was also giving Balotelli preferential treatment when he did not deserve it. I love balo but let’s be honest, he was more than a handful. My view is that Tevez kept Mancini in a job for longer than he should’ve been the manager of city. Tevez was carrying city and Mancini since day one and Mancini was so arrogant to be able to accept that. A season later, it all came back to get Mancini. Video’s fights aired all around the world with Balotelli at training. He stunk the whole joint out tbh and the icing on the cake, Wigan had just been relegated yet they found themselves in the FA cup final against us and played us off the park that day. I’d never seen us more disjointed than that day at Wembley. I was there and it had a shit energy about it and from about 5 mins in, I knew we were going to lose. So, there you have it. Those players won that league title, we had a deeper squad than anyone else, is less Mancini and more quality squad depth.

Tevez was an amazing footballer , if he said he's warm, I'd believe him

You can hear it in micahs recounting of the story that Mancini wasn’t well liked by the players including himself. Everyone loves Pep. Pep is hard but fair, you respect him because his results demand that respect. He’ll defend you on his life in a presser for having a bad game but he’ll go and tear you to strips in private and that is how it should be, not publicly outing people in the media.

When Tevez said he was ready..He was ready.. No matter what Mancini say to him!!

Thank God an insider is telling us what really happened

Micah always with the best seat in the house to witness all the drama

Tevez was unreal , will never forget his spell at juventus, the guy was a machine

I love Tevez - i hate managers they also bring their crazy emotions - when players react - they are vilified ffs

That’s what coaches do sometimes They’re so in their own head That their idea of you won’t change I you don’t stand up for yourself

People that have never played football will not understand when a coach is trying to play mind games with you…simply because they don’t like you. Example ten Haag on Ronaldo and sancho,guardiola on etoo, Mancini on tevez,so many people will blame the players but most coaches know what they’re doing.

Stand with Tevez 110%

Its becoming quite apparent that mancini was was such a bell end from a few ex players now

Man I used to love him at united one of my favorite ever players I wish he stayed and never went to city he was absolutely amazing

Tevez a legend... See him play first... You will remember mix of Maradona and Messi

Best story teller! Micah has been mocked for a long time now and I think he needs his flowers 💐

I remember the time when Tevez was must in your fantasy league..

Tevez is warrior he love to fight

Tevez what a guy, what a player & what a golfer 🏌️‍♂️ 🇦🇷 4oooo'r

As Juve fan, thank you for selling Tevez.

Dude I am warm, I am almost too hot man!!!😮

Tevez was class

Best thing to happen to Aguero. That was his first season at City and really stepped up when Tevez went on strike

I had a similar thing happen once, was asked to warm up before half time and then wasn't brought on at half time. Was asked again at half time and did. Then 5 minutes later ended up coming on after warming up for essentially 20 minutes and pulled my groin. Injury stopped me sprinting properly for about a year.

Why Tevez was ever on the bench to begin with, is just unjustifiable. The guy was an assassin durring those days.

Un crack Carlitos!

And he's like "I'm warm" loooool

Tevez would be £200 million in his prime now

I believe Tevez had taken offence to not being named in the starting line up prior to that fixture vs Bayern. City wanted success in European competition and CT found it to be disrespectful that he wasn't considered in Mancini's first 11. He was i believe being left out alot in matches leading up to this fall out. The score was 0-2 to Munich and Tevez must have been thinking, "what, you need me now boss do you?" Original Scarface sh%* - sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself. Against the opinions of the experts and masses. even if ultimately you know it will make your own personal situation much more difficult. A battle for respect. Not a City fan so this is just how i seen it back at the time. Great player!

Mancini shouldn't have put his hands on him... He was wrong to make him warm up multiple times....He was being spiteful to the player...

He was so so underrated

Just Tevez things 😂

Saw that game. Tevez was warming up. Tevez not wanting come on didn't even make sense

Tévez would carry any team in any league.

😂😂😂Richards is a class act.Says it like it was/is.

Mancini was clearly in the wrong over the Tevez debacle

i mean telling someone to go warm up 10 times is just...

Tevez was in the right here

What a beast he was with united

Massive L for the coaches & assistants

I'm with tevez on this one, Mancini clearly has got issues with players and take things personally!

They don’t make players like Tevez anymore

2012 against Bayern in the Champions League..i was in the Allianz Arena when this happened..

Mancini tevez bellotelli was comedy gold

I love tevez

"Guys, calm down. I'll bring you waffles and chocolate. Why must you do this?" - Kompany probably.

teves remberable name

I want to see the full interview.

And then Juventus profited from this charade.

Go warm up you're going on, go warm up again, right this time you're going on...na only kidding sit down on the bench again 😅

I’m warm😂😂😂😂😂😂

Michah Richards tells a good story

Tevez ❤

I still wonder how these clubs let this great player slip away its ridiculous

If i am not mistaken it was with bayern munich where they lost......and it was around 80+ minutes .

Tevez was a real nigga

Micah doesn't know what a royal rumble is

El Apache, a great player.

Kompany had retired by the time I figured out the announcer said he's looking for kompany, not company. I thought it was British for looking for teammates...

Tevez should have stayed at united (the fault of fergie for not acting on extending his stay and one of very few major mistakes sir Alex ever made during his tenure. I have no idea why he didn't try or want to keep tevez. He was steadily becoming a huge asset for us and learned our ways of ayi f and winning yet when it came to a renual of his contract not only did he not jump on it but appeared to not really care or want him and to this day doesn't make sense to me. Seriously during 07-09 we had arguably the greatest front 3 in the world along side Barcelona yet fergie allowed tevez to feel unwanted and annoyed and ultimately became the basis of his decision to join the enemy) Tevez xould have become one of our attacking icons. Once Ronaldo left we could have still had rooney and tevez up front thats still an elite option but to this day the very few blunders fergie ever made was clear as day and still makes no logical sense. I hate that he not only joined city but wad allowed to do so. I'm just glad tevez ultimately allowed his own bad attitude and lack of giving a damn sealed his fate at city and towards the end caused them on and off field dramas which dampened his legacy at city due to his aggressive and provocative self centred personality. PHENOMENAL PLAYER on his day though. Work horse and the perfect partner for the likes of Rooney and Ronaldo. A front 3 of Berbatov - Rooney - Tevez Would have been a wonderful thing to have witnessed for an extended amount of time but unfortunately we never got to see that for a solid period of time.

If Tevez says he is warm then he's warm.

Who remembers micas header when he burst onto the scene?

Tevezzz 💪🏻💪🏻

Been there as a player like bro I been ready since before kickoff

I'm warm😂

Sometimes you have to have respect for good players

Where can I watch this full interview? I've seen a few clips recently and I wouldnt mind watching it all. Thanks.

Everyone respects Tevez for that and disrespects Ronaldo for almost the same thing

Sometimes these managers are like little brats , remember Sarri when Kepa didn’t want to come out (Kepa purposely faked an injury to burn time ) Sarri started throwing a tantrum even ran to the locker room lol wtf , childish

I remember that day

"Martini's trying to get to Tevez" 💀

Thats not how Royal Rumble match works...

Man I loved that era’s badge, squad, aura they were like the dark horse

City won the league inspite of Mancini. I know City fans love him but there was always panic & drama in the Mancini days.

His man city t shirt was the first one i ever bought

With Tevez on this one.

Micah richards,storyes from the bench...

Yet they made him look like a villain. Why didn’t anyone speak out? Until now I had him as a villain.

Mancini was a hot head as a player

The amount of players with disgraceful stories about Mancini is staggering. Truly odious narcissist. Achieved the bare minimum at City too despite what people would have you believe.

I like tevez

Manchini just an angry Italian dictator like mousolini! He fought with most of his players!

Saw that incident live on TV

Sometimes warming up is overrated, I've played rugby cold before and there's really not a whole pile of difference in pain afterwards.
