'Very unfair' - Hart on Tevez's substitution controversy
On 27 September 2011, Manchester City were 2-0 down in a Champions League group game at Bayern Munich. In a now infamous moment, Carlos Tevez appeared to refuse to warm up to be bought on, leading to City boss Roberto Mancini saying the striker was "finished" and he wanted him "out of the club". Advertisement However, City's goalkeeper at the time, Joe Hart, has now reflected on the incident, saying Tevez and Mancini "were both right to an extent". "The whole drama surrounding Carlos during that Bayern Munich game I felt was very unfair," Hart told a special Football Daily episode on Tevez's legacy. "Carlos did make himself available to come on the pitch, but he was asked to warm up, having already warmed up for 20 or 25 minutes, and then he was asked to warm up again to come on - and I'm pretty sure he said: 'I am warm.' "It was the first time we were losing that season and we were getting beaten by a very good Bayern Munich. Both very, very hostile characters, which was part of why they were both good at what they did. Advertisement "But, at that moment, it clashed and it didn't work well because Roberto obviously repeated, 'you need to warm up to come on' and Carlos being strong-minded as he is, says, 'I don't, I am warm'." The incident appeared to be sparked by the substitution of striker Edin Dzeko in the second half, with Tevez seeming unhappy he was not called on. Minutes later, when Mancini indicated to the Argentine to warm up, Tevez refused. "Mancini was very aggressive, very animated. He had a go at Edin for some reason, and then he went wild at Carlos. "Both in broken English, they didn't really understand each other, and I could see Carlos trying to find out what was being said to him and when he realised what had been said to him, he felt really wronged. Advertisement "It was a classic case of two alpha males having a different version of the same event and neither being able to say, 'look, we both need to calm down here and just sort this out' - because they were both right to an extent."
