Tevez: ´I love my City shirt´

Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez has affirmed his love for the club and dispelled rumours that he is unhappy at Eastlands.

“I don’t think anyone loves the shirt more than me,” Tevez told the club’s website mcfc.co.uk.

In December, the Argentina striker handed in a transfer request to City bosses amid reports that he was homesick, missing his children and even considering retiring from the game.

Yet he subsequently withdrew the request and now appears to be happier than ever at Eastlands.

“I never walked out of the club or wanted to do any harm to the club, not for anything in the world. I do not think there is anyone who loves the shirt more than me. I show that in every game I play. I give everything I have got,” he said.

“I do not speak very often to the press. I just have it in my head, I do my talking out there on the field, which is the most important thing.”

“People might want to have a pop at me but I am completely at ease here. I want to do my best for the City shirt.”

“It is a period in my career where I have begun to enjoy things more. I am happy and very relaxed as a result of the football I am producing.”

The Argentine, 27, now turns his attention to Saturday’s Manchester derby, with City looking to overhaul United’s five-point lead at the top of the table.

Yet Tevez seemed to suggest that he and his team-mates would be more than happy with a fourth-placed finish.

“We are right in there battling it out for a Champions League place. That is what the team is aiming for and where the team ought to be.”
