Tevez says mess up with Mancini proved ‘blessing in disguise’ for him

London: Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has said his mess up with manager Roberto Mancini has reaped good results for him, and worked as a blessing in disguise.

Tevez’s Manchester City career looked over last season after he went AWOL for three months following a bust-up with Mancini, but the striker returned to help City clinch the title and has scored in all three of their Premier League games this season. “The problem with Mancini was good for me. I’m enjoying football again which is what I wanted – to feel this hunger for glory and to be happy like this,” “I had a pre-season like I hadn’t had for a long time. I worked very hard, I feel good on the pitch, light, strong, fast,” he added. ANI
