    Former Manchester City midfielder Stephen Ireland revealed that Carlos Tevez almost had a fight with manager Roberto Mancini.<\/p>\n

    The feisty Argentine was no stranger to run-ins with Mancini during their time at City, after Tevez was famously suspended by the club for two weeks and fined \u00a3500,000 after Tevez seemingly refused to come on as a substitute during a Champions League away clash at Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

    But Ireland revealed that the incident on the Bayern bench wasn\u2019t the only time the two almost came to blow.<\/p>\n

    Speaking to Ladbrokes Fanzone, Ireland said: \u201cHim and Roberto Mancini were a crazy partnership, they were always having blows, always close to fighting. They were going head-to-head all the time.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThere was one time Mancini called a meeting in the changing room and him and Tevez are so close to having a full on fight.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt was really, really bad. Tevez lost it at him, big time. He went head-to-head with him and the pair had to be split up.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBut look at what he did for the club; he was such a good player, he worked so hard during those matches. I loved how single-minded and selfish he was.<\/p>\n

    \u201cPeople would always talk about how much of a team player he was. He actually wasn't a team player; everything he did was for himself.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHe was only working hard for himself, but that made him look like a team player. I actually loved him for it, though. He was incredible.<\/p>\n

    \u201cHe had a ridiculous career from start to finish, but he was so single-minded. He didn't care about making that move from Manchester United to City. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cBut yeah, he wasn't a hard trainer in the slightest, he made his own rules, he didn't really care about being late, didn't care about training – he managed his body how he wanted to manage his body, but he backed it up on a Saturday, so maybe that was his superpower.<\/p>\n

    \u201cMonday to Friday he could do what he wanted, and when Saturday came around everyone would see the reason why. I couldn't do that, because I know it would bite me on the arse come match day!\u201d<\/p>\n
