Carlos Tevez on Man City v United, Mark Hughes and 'Welcome to Manchester' poster

Tévez selected his "dream team", featuring Wayne Rooney and Lionel Messi - but no Cristiano Ronaldo. "Wayne Rooney is the best in the world," he said. "It was a privilege to play with him, I will always feel that way towards him. In his position, Rooney is the best. Messi is the No 1 in his position. He is too much, right now. The ball sticks to his feet, who can take it from him?" Related ArticlesT?z urged to hold tongueAdebayor retires from international gameMan City 5 Birmingham 1Man City v Birmingham City: match previewBurnley 1 Manchester City 6Mancini interested in Juventus"It's my dream selection. OK, I play Rooney and Messi, with Tevez, of course. In a 4-3-3. We would score some goals together, eh?" he said in an interview with the Daily Mail. Tévez on: The Manchester derby: "I love this game. It is special, different I did not transfer from United to City for the controversy. OK, I played for both teams, so I understand the feeling and the emotion from both supporters. City's fans have been very good to me, very welcoming. Maybe that is why I feel this game."That 'Welcome to Manchester' poster:"What was the point? Tell me. Was it to welcome me to Manchester City, or was it to anger Manchester United? .it is important you know I had nothing to do with the poster. I have respect for all the clubs I used to play for. That was not showing respect, was it?"Mark Hughes being sacked:"You ask me if I thought it was the right decision and the answer is 'no'. I will play for any manager; I play for the shirt and must respect the right of the people who make decisions to change things, but a team does not form overnight. Mark should have been given more time."Possibility of sending West Ham down in City's last game of season:"It is unthinkable. To score such a goal against them would change my history with them. When the game comes, I hope City have already secured fourth place and West Ham are safe."His prolific goalscoring form:"I am playing now as a free striker. This is my position Now I go on to the pitch [and] I say to myself, 'you have to win the game for City'. In my head, before the game, I think, 'goals, goals, goals'. At Manchester United, I was asked to defend more. It was a different responsibility."
