LONDON: Manchester City defender Micah Richards admits Carlos Tevez was wrong to ignore manager Roberto Mancini’s order to go on as a substitute in the Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich.

Mancini claims Tevez refused to come off the bench in Germany on Tuesday and is adamant the Argentina forward will never play for City again.

Tevez denies the allegation and insists he misunderstood what Mancini was saying.

But the former Manchester United star, who has been keen to leave Eastlands for several months, is currently suspended while the club’s hierarchy carry out interviews with Mancini, his coaching staff and the players who were with Tevez on the bench.

It is thought that Tevez’s teammate Pablo Zabaleta was supportive of the Argentine and shouted back at Mancini.

However, England defender Richards has become the first City player to criticise Tevez for his actions. “Carlos’s reaction in Munich was wrong. It was something he shouldn’t have done,” Richards told The People.

“There was always going to be a bit of tension because Carlos is a top player and hasn’t been getting in the team. (Agencies)
