Mancini bemused by Tevez claims

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has no idea why the blame for all Carlos Tevez's problems has suddenly been laid at his door.

With Tevez likely to remain at City beyond the transfer deadline, a repair job could be required to patch up the South American's differences with Mancini. Yet, until Friday, when Tevez's long-time advisor Kia Joorabchian outlined the fact his client had always felt uneasy about Mancini, the City boss did not think there were any problems beyond their obvious fall-out in Munich last September.

"I don't know why they are suggesting this," said Mancini, of the image that is being portrayed about his relationship with Tevez.
