Training Monday 13/12

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Nothing today as expected when I heard that Mancini would be back on Tuesday. Good to see cameras all over the place with nobody to take pictures of:)

I did see the EDS training for a short while and Carlos was definitely not with them.

Cheers DH, I think we're all eagerly awaiting tomorrows report. My guess is Polly will be missing.

Stop looking forward to it as I don't think they are training tomorrow either.

Must be down to Mancini reducing training to try and appease Carlos - didn't work so might as well get them back into proper training now

Some input please Doug on who the "individuals" are that Tevez claims to have a broken relationship with. I guess the executives is easy with Cook & Marwood in the frame for their past dealings with Jorchiwhateverhescalled, but individuals, especially as he seems to have exhonourated Roberto. He did speak about younger players annoying a while back when he was thinking of retiring previously, but who would you finger?

Nothing to do with it.I have said many times that there is NOT an overtraining issue at City.I am not sure there ever has been and I am not aware of it with Tevez.

Cant really do that and wouldnt want to speculate especially as I am not sure I believe all that is and has been thrown out.

90% of Tevez' statement is crap really , isn't it?
I dare say that he doesn't have much time for Mario but that doesn't need Sherlock to deduce.

If i was Tevez the first thing i would do every day in training would be tell Mario a joke or kick him in his nuts just to get a response.

"The younger players need to show me respect, I am Tevez. Back in the day, 100 years ago at Boca I looked up to Riquelme and licked his boots. This Balotelli should be doing this to me now. I am very upset."

...yes - I was only joking - whilst there might not be training there today I expect there will be lots of press as Carlos is due back today
