Carlos Tevez: Rooney and Messi are the players who make me dream, not Ronaldo

Carlos Tevez has admitted that he is not a big fan of the Portuguese ace Cristiano Ronaldo. The Argentine has also claimed that he was not at fault over the feud with Roberto Mancini.

The 29-year-old striker, who completed his move to Juventus in the past week, has said that Ronaldo would not feature in his dream attacking line-up.

Carlos Tevez told Tuttosport: “My ideal trident would be me with Rooney and Messi. They are the players who make me dream – not Ronaldo.”

Meanwhile, Tevez also insisted that it was not him who was at fault in the touchline row with Roberto Mancini.

“On television, it seemed worse than it was. When the coach decided to remove Edin Dzeko and put on a defender I went back to the bench disappointed.

“But the one who was really angry was Dzeko, who started to insult Mancini in Bosnian, with Mancini answering him in Italian – it was a surreal scene.

“I was fine talking with Pablo Zabaleta but when Mancini turned, he saw me sitting down and was furious, but only because he was furious after the row with Dzeko.”

However, the striker has claimed that he has now learned from all the mistakes that he committed during his time in England and also assured that such things won’t happen now.

“At the beginning of my career in England, I was a hothead. If the coach replaced me, I cursed and insulted him. Now I’m not like this; I have learned how to behave.”
