Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has had another dig at his
former employers by insisting that manager Sir Alex Ferguson
will not admit how much he fears the Citizens.
The Sky Blues’ summer spending has created a formidable squad at
Eastlands, a squad which the Argentine believes is spreading
fear throughout the Premier League.
Speaking to the Sunday People, Tevez insisted that
Ferguson calling City a “small time club” was dangerous and that
the club would prove why on the pitch in the Manchester
derby.
“That Ferguson criticises City is dangerous for him and his
objectives this year,” explained the striker.
“Perhaps he is more afraid of us than he lets on and he is trying
to break our concentration. The answer will come on the pitch in
the first derby game in September.”
Tevez also insisted that he preferred Mark Hughes’ management style
to Ferguson’s and that he was excited about the new season.
“Ferguson is history in my career. Mark Hughes just concentrates on
working and training, not getting involved in the business of other
club,” said the Argentine.
"Hughes is closer to the players than Ferguson and he talks some
Spanish, which is good for me.
"He has been a player and you notice that in how he treats the
players. My evaluation of him is positive and I'm excited about the
season ahead."
The 25-year-old also admitted he did not fear competition for
places at City and said that he was convinced his new club
could challenge for the title.
“We have a lot of strikers at City but that happens at Manchester
United as well and at other clubs,” he added.
“It is a long season in England and there has to be room for
everyone.
"We have started the season well but know that what counts is how
the season ends - that is how we will be judged.
“There will be a lot of candidates for the title - and City are
among them.”
