Football Talk - Tevez Refuses To Play?

Carlos Tevez has denied allegations by Roberto Mancini that he refused to play for Manchester City in Tuesday s Champions League tie against Bayern Munich.

City boss Roberto Mancini had earlier washed his hands of the Argentinian, saying the striker was finished at the club.

If I have my way he will be out. He s finished with me, Mancini said. If we want to improve as a team Carlos can t play with us. With me, he is finished.

Tevez stated via an interpreter: There was some confusion on the bench and I believe my position may have been misunderstood.

I just was not feeling very good mentally to enter the pitch so I put my opinion to Mancini.

Manchester City lost the game 2-0 with Mario Gomez scoring twice for Bayern, although the ever controversial Carlos Tevez was the main talking point with his apparent refusal to be used as a substitute.
