TEVEZ: "I decided not to talk to the media for the last four months. Last time I spoke was right after the Bayern Munich game"
TEVEZ: "It was a delicate situation. I decided to say nothing about it during all this time"
TEVEZ: I want to go back to Manchester and win over the City fans back. People turned their back on me but it's normal. I didn't understand
TEVEZ: "I didn't understand City fans burning my shirt. It hurt. It's normal they react like that because they read all sorts of thing"
TEVEZ: I've decided to return to City. I know I have what it takes to revert the situation. I know it'll be hard, but it's a nice challenge
TEVEZ on the Bayern episode: "I have warmed up during the 1st half. Then went to dressing room. For 2nd half I was ready"
TEVEZ: "In that 2nd half MANCINI decides to replace DZEKO with DE JONG. It was a defensive sub. I didn't understand. DZEKO argued w/MANCINI"
TEVEZ: "I decided to sit. MANCINI was upset for arguing with DZEKO. Then he looks at me and asks me to warm up"
TEVEZ: "MANCINI told me all sorts of things there. I don't know why. I was relaxed. I was talking to ZABALETA. I had no problems"
TEVEZ: "I never refused to play. I refused to keep warming up. The club investigated and then they fined me"
TEVEZ: "I was worried about my future after that 2-week fine. That fine was OK. But I want people to know the truth. They didn't want to"
TEVEZ: "The club statement protected the manager. I got a lot of heat from the media in England, Argentina, everywhere".
TEVEZ: "Everytime I wanted to take my daughter to school I had 5 journalists on my back. Trained with the reserves. It was uncomfortable"
TEVEZ: "I was affected because of this situation. I wanted to find shelter with my family".
TEVEZ: "It is true that AC Milan had an interest in me. City didn't want to lose $. It wasn't good for City having me away in Buenos Aires"
TEVEZ: "I have been training on my own. I know I can be back on the pitch in 2 weeks. I'm willing to play"
TEVEZ: "It was really emotional being back at La Bombonera (Boca Jrs stadium) for the Martín PALERMO testimonial. It was moving"
TEVEZ: "If it's true that MANCINI said he will welcome me back if I'm fit, then I like those quotes. But if he only said it for the media...
TEVEZ: "But he also said I was never going to be playing for him again. So I don't know. I'll do my best to be available and play"
TEVEZ: MANCINI's position got stronger when Kun AGUERO arrived. I don't know if he would have done the things he did if this was last season
TEVEZ: Last season we almost exchanged punches! But he never said anything. He got a better team this season & felt like making the decision
TEVEZ: "Now that I have a cooler head, I understand City fans. Back in the heat of the moment I didn't. I did a lot of things for City"
TEVEZ: "To be insulted by fans after what happened in Munich was something I didn't deserve"
TEVEZ: "I was very upset by everything and maybe I wasn't seeing things clearly. That Bayern episode could have been avoided"
TEVEZ: "They could have kicked me out of the club without saying all the things they said. Deal with the situation in a different way"
TEVEZ: "I think that's where MANCINI got things wrong. If we had a problem, we could have sorted it out in a different way"
TEVEZ: "Last season, after a home game vs. Newcastle, we almost hit each other in the dressing room. But we spoke the following day"
TEVEZ: "MANCINI is a winner. And I'm a winner too. None of us like to lose"
TEVEZ "My first few months in England (West Ham), I felt terrible. I wanted out. I wasn't playing. But I worked hard & turned things around"
TEVEZ: "I love the English league. I think it's the best in the world. I have a problem with Christmas and New Year's Day. You have to play"
TEVEZ: "Going to train on 24 December, sometimes play on the 25th. It's tough. I didn't like that"
TEVEZ: "There's no need for City to make me have 2 training sessions a day. I'll do it myself."
TEVEZ: "I picture myself going back on the pitch and I know I have to play better than I ever did"
TEVEZ: "I suffered a lot with the national team too. I saw myself out of Copa America. I came here and I wasn't prepared to play that Copa"
TEVEZ: "I felt I wasn't going to be considered. So I didn't prepare. But I came back here and people showed me a lot of love"
TEVEZ: "Fans here in Argentina have always been great to me. I will keep playing because I'm still hungry for more glory"
TEVEZ: "I train in the mornings. I play a lot of golf. In England it's the middle of winter now so I won't be able to play much. I love it"
TEVEZ: "My first goal now is to be back at full fitness. I have trained on my own but lost contact with the ball. Gotta get that back"
TEVEZ: "It's tough to talk about City's title challenge now. I feel like I'm out the squad. I wish I can go back there and help them win"
TEVEZ: "I know FERGUSON really doesn't want to lose this title race. I think FERGUSON and BIELSA are the best managers"
TEVEZ: "I know FERGUSON didn't have the best relationship with me but together with BIELSA, those two are the best managers I had"
TEVEZ: "Paul SCHOLES is the best professional. Him ROONEY and GIGGS...I have no words. They were excellent to me"
TEVEZ: "I know I have a huge challenge ahead. I'm full of energy. Thanks to all the people that were with me during these last 4 months..."
TEVEZ: "...I have discovered the love for the game again. I want to play again. I want to train. Things I've lost 4 months ago"
TEVEZ: "I'll do my best to do that. I said I was going to retire at 28 and was thinking about it, but not anymore. I want to succeed again"
