Tevez denies comments escalating City furore

Carlos Tevez has attempted to diffuse the latest furore about his relationship with Manchester City by denying he made the comments attributed to him in German magazine Kicker yesterday.

In the published interview, Tevez said he felt the way he was treated by City was “strange”. However, his representatives last night poured cold water on the entire interview.

A statement issued by his representative read: “Regarding an interview published in Kicker magazine, Carlos Tevez categorically denies both speaking to any journalist about his situation at Manchester City and the quotes attributed to him in the interview.”
