Disturbance said:BRAZIL midfielder Elano has spelt out his determination to break into the City first team after shining for the Selecao against Italy on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old scored one goal and fired a swerving effort just inches over in a fine performance that left some Blues fans asking why he hasn't been playing for City.
He said: "I am very hungry to show what I am capable of, to show that I can be useful, and I think I proved that.
"But I do not have to prove anything to anyone. I only try to prove it to myself and, because I work hard every day, I know how difficult it is.
"However, that is all I can say. I am a lucky man and in important games I always end up appearing."
Elano was fined by City boss Mark Hughes in November for speaking out about his lack of first-team appearances in a specially arranged television interview and was linked with a move away from Eastlands in the winter transfer window.
However, Elano added: "The Manchester City coach also believes in me.
"But he has his way of putting the team on the pitch and I respect that because that's the way it is.
"But I will continue to work hard so I can get into his plans and play, because what can you do? I have to work and do my best.
"Because if I give up and leave everything will be worse for me.
"I never choose to act different. I always try to do my best wherever I play."
Bigga said:For what it's worth I don't think, and never have thought, that Elano is/ was a 'prima donna'.
I believe he believes in his own ability and has probably wondered why Hughes doesn't see it. I also think he got frustrated at his game not coming together as he wanted it. In my head, Elano's strops have not really been at Hughes, but his own lack of consistency at a club where he could be a hero, which probably want he wants more than anything.
Crossed wires lead to a lot of complications.

You're using your own speculation to bolster a non existent argument. I'd also like you to re-admit the SSN evidence, pls?BillyShears said:Bigga said:For what it's worth I don't think, and never have thought, that Elano is/ was a 'prima donna'.

LOL...
C'mon Bigga...that interview with SSN was unforgivable...
When was the last time you remember a player who had been dropped for THREE league games going out and giving an interview basically ratting out the manager to the owners?
