A few days ago, former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart talked about a famous controversial incident in the 2011 Champions League.
This storm occurred in the Champions League group stage between Manchester City and Bayern in September 2011. Then-head coach Mancini accused Tevez of refusing to make a substitute when the team was behind 0-2. Previously, Tevez was excluded from the starter in the league. Tevez was dissatisfied, but his subsequent development still shocked the football world.
Mancini told Sky Sports after the game: "He refused to play. Some players refused to play, and I cannot accept this behavior." Mancini also declared that Tevez "has ended his career in the club."
Tevis flatly denied refusing to play, insisting: "I have finished warming up and are on standby at any time, and must state that I have never refused to play." Despite this, Tevis was suspended and left the team for a long time until he returned to the court in March 2012.
After more than ten years, witness Hart talked about the storm in the BBC Football Daily podcast, pointing out that the truth of the conflict is far more complicated than what the outside world saw: "The whole incident is very unfair to Tevez. Tevez was indeed ready to play, but he was asked to warm up for 20-25 minutes at that time, but the coach ordered the warm-up again. I remember he said 'I'm already warming up'."
"The two have strong personalities, which was originally a trait of their success, but at this moment it was a catastrophic collision. Manci Nicholas was emotional at the time. After inexplicably scolding Dzeko, he turned his anger to Tevez. Both sides were fluent in English. I saw Tevez trying to understand each other's words. When Tevez understood the content of being criticized, he felt deeply wronged. This is a classic case where two strong people had their own opinions on the same incident, but no one was willing to calmly communicate and resolve conflicts. To some extent, they all had a reasonable position. "
abandoned Tevez returned to the team in the late season and helped Manchester City win the Premier League championship for the first time in May 2012.
