Sir Alex Ferguson is ''scared'' of playing Manchester City this season

[freakazoid]

Carlos Tevez has claimed that Sir Alex Ferguson is ''scared'' of playing Manchester City this season following their busy summer of spending.




Tevez spent two years on loan at Old Trafford before securing a permanent switch to Eastlands over the summer and has not kept quiet over his dissatisfaction of being kept on the bench by the Scot.

Ferguson, for his part, has played down the significance of the Argentine's departure, whilst also warning Man City that it will be difficult to break into the top four this season. However, Tevez feels his former boss is worried about the Manchester derby on 20th September.

"Ferguson is history for me but I know that he is scared of playing against us," the striker told Globoesporte. "It's dangerous for Ferguson's objectives and for him to criticise Manchester City."

Tevez has also explained the differences between playing under Ferguson and working with current manager Mark Hughes.

"Mark Hughes is only focused on his work and the team, he doesn't get involved in the negotiations," he said. "He has been a football player so there is a big difference in the way he treats each player."

Smells like somebody is still feeling rejected!  Yes Ferguson is a better coach because he speaks Spanish because Tevez refuses to learn to speak English. Tevez needs to let go of his obsession with United and Ferguson; enjoy his money and coming off the bench. Can't  wait until Hughes gets fired; what would Tevez say then. And yes Hughes needs to kiss his players' arse so he can keep a job.

Carlos Tevez has taunted Sir Alex Ferguson, by claiming: You're scared of Manchester City - and Mark Hughes is a better boss.

The Argentinian reckons Fergie's "small club" rant shows he is worried about the threat posed by their mega-rich neighbours.

He revealed that the comment incensed Hughes - and that City are ready to make Fergie eat his words in their derby clash on September 20.

Tevez, 25, made his controversial £25million switch across Manchester this summer after failing to agree a deal at United.


The Eastlands club then caused uproar with an advertising campaign featuring Tevez in City colours complete with the slogan "Welcome to Manchester".


The stunt enraged Ferguson, who cranked up the ill-feeling by claiming City were "a small club with a small mentality".


Now Tevez claims Ferguson, whose side suffered a nightmare defeat at Burnley on Wednesday, should forget about mind games and concentrate on his own team.


He said: "That Ferguson criticises City is dangerous for him and his objectives this year.


"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.


Ferguson has won 11 Premier League titles while Hughes is waiting for his first taste of success as City boss.


Yet Tevez is backing Hughes all the way, claiming he has a far better understanding of top players.


He said: "Ferguson is history in my career. Mark Hughes just concentrates on working and training, not getting involved in the business of other clubs."


But what Ferguson said about City being a small club has not gone down well with Tevez.


He added: "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."

I see nowhere in that article that Tevez refuses to learn to speak English. It is natural that he would be stronger in Spanish, his first language, and that Hughes speaks some Spanish may make it easier for Tevez to understand certain things.

Also, I don't think it's fair to say Tevez has any "obsession" with Utd. Based on his quotes here it seems that Tevez was asked his opinion about Fergie's comments, and about his time at Utd, and he answered accordingly.

I understand your points, but it is helpful for anyone who moved abroad to have an idea how to communicate in the native tongue. Tevez has been living in England maybe 5 years. I can understand being more comfortable and how a certain personality and the ability helps increase that comfort zone. But also it seems like every other week there is a Tevez comment about United and what he didn't like. So I say move on and one way to move on is to stop answering questions about it, if it was so horrible for him. Why keep re traumatize oneself with the memories of having to work with a manager who does not speak Spanish? Oh the rejection!

[kicker]

Based on what I've seen so far, Man City eh playing at the level to beat anybody serious just yet....

[trinikev]

I hear yuh giggsy......tho i believe this is only Tevez' 3rd or 4th year in England. He was at W. Ham for one season, and at Utd for one (could be 2, I not sure).

Either way, I agree with kicker.....Man City not playing any kinda serious football now anyways so I cud understand Fergie not being too worried about them right now.

I fully agree with you, and not because I am a Man.United fan but for the fact that their wins have not been convincing with the calibur of players they got, Wolves were unlucky not to get a point from them over the weekend.

As opposed to what you have seen from Liverpool or ManU this season?
Only Spurs and Arsenal look good so far.
Chelsea look "efficient and effective" more than really good.
Despite the 5 Wigan get, they look good against ManU although the scoreline look bad and Burnely's win was not pure luck either. Only Rooney looks potent on that side.
And Liverpool clearly showing that they is a two man side and Gerrard and Torres eh start firing yet.

good talk.....and it's early days too. 

Was just hoping to see a classier display from Man City straight out of the blocks.

Man City has had some good moments.

I think they have scored some decent goals and seem to be developing a good chemistry esp Robinho, Ade and SWP.

Just heard that Anderson was shown the door. He was told that he can leave.

Here is the article I found vvvvv


Manchester United to grant Anderson quit request following furious Sir Alex Ferguson row
By Sportsmail Reporter
Last updated at 11:19 AM on 25th August 2009


Anderson has been told he can leave Manchester United following a furious fall-out with manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
It is understood the Brazilian reacted badly after he was dropped for the season curtain raiser Community Shield defeat to Chelsea, after losing his place in the starting XI to Irish youngster Darron Gibson.
 Looking to leave: Anderson wants to quit United

And the former Porto star reportedly refused to back down when reprimanded by Ferguson after the Wembley clash, incensing the Old Trafford chief.

After making his feelings clear to Ferguson and suggesting that his future might lie elsewhere, the Scot is willing to grant Anderson his request to leave the champions.
It is understood that some of Ferguson’s staff have reservations over the 21-year-old who flopped in the Champions League Final against Barcelona and was disappointing on his return against Burnley last week.
Anderson failed to make the substitutes bench for United's 5-0 win over Wigan with Ferguson seemingly reluctant to use him following their argument.

But with concerns over whether Owen Hargreaves will play again and having lost Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez this summer, the United boss is keen not to rock the boat any further particularly as he held such high hopes for Anderson this term.
