LONDON: Manchester City’s Roberto Mancini has expressed frustration with the treatment he receives from rival managers after his latest touchline altercation during League Cup defeat to Aston Villa.

The Italian exchanged words with Villa counterpart Paul Lambert following a heavy tackle on City midfielder Gareth Barry by Joe Bennett.

“I only asked the fourth official if there was a yellow card, without moving my hands, and he (Lambert) comes over to me,” Mancini told media on Tuesday.

“I am very tired with their behaviour. Sometimes these managers go to the big stadiums, and the other manager says everything and they say nothing.

“When they go to (Old) Trafford, they say nothing. When other managers talk about the referee they always sit on the bench. I don’t like this type of behaviour,” he added in reference to city rival Manchester United’s ground.

By contrast, Lambert spoke highly of the former Sampdoria and Italy player, admitting the disagreement was ‘nothing.’

“I respect him as a manager and an ex-player… It was nothing.” (Reuters)
