			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manchester City have rejected a transfer request in writing by his star striker, Argentine Carlos Tevez, the club announced Sunday.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is with disappointment that we confirm to our supporters that Carlos Tevez Tevez gave us a transfer request in writing. The club also confirmed that it was rejected,&#8221; said Manchester City in a statement.</p>
<p>Eight days ago, Tevez did not hide his anger when his coach Roberto Mancini had left at the end of the match against Bolton. The incident was interpreted as a sign of deteriorating relations between Argentina and Italy.</p>
<p>The British press also argues for several months that Tevez was homesick and suffering from the absence of his two daughters remained in Argentina.</p>
<p>&#8220;Roberto Mancini and the whole club have shown and continue to be sensitive to the situation Carlos, including the fact that his family is abroad,&#8221; said City in a statement.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sportprofessional.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Carlos-Tevez.jpg"><img src="http://www.sportprofessional.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Carlos-Tevez-300x200.jpg" alt="" title="Carlos Tevez" width="300" height="200" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-966" /></a></p>
<p>Suspended for Saturday&#8217;s game at West Ham (3-1), Tevez was given permission to travel to South America, said the club.</p>
<p>&#8220;The transfer request in writing contrasts sharply with the position posted by Carlos both in public and within the club,&#8221; added Manchester City.</p>
<p>In an interview with the club&#8217;s official magazine, published earlier this week, Tevez, still under contract for three and a half years, said he had no return permanently to Argentina or retire.</p>
<p>Manchester City has challenged &#8220;representatives&#8221; of the player, who asked several times in recent months a &#8220;renegotiation&#8221;. &#8220;In keeping with club policy is not to renegotiate contracts in mid-season, it was not accepted,&#8221; said City.</p>
<p>Manchester City has joined an interim head Saturday in the Premier League, trailing only on goal difference from Arsenal.</p>
<p>Tevez is second in the Championship scoring charts with ten goals for England.</p>
<p>Arrived from Manchester United 18 months ago, Argentina has made it essential for City, scoring 39 goals in 60 matches.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manchester City stayed in the Big Four Championship in England after its 4-1 win over Fulham on Sunday at the 14th day and fight for the title with Chelsea, beaten 1-0 at Birmingham, &#8220;MU&#8221; , winner of Wigan 2-0, and Arsenal defeated Tottenham by 2-3.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sportprofessional.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Manchester-City.jpg"><img src="http://www.sportprofessional.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Manchester-City-300x200.jpg" alt="" title="Manchester City" width="300" height="200" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-927" /></a></p>
<p>During a one-sided first period, the Citizens have scored three goals for Tevez, Abaleta and Yaya Toure. The second period was enough for Carlos Tevez to make a double and take sole lead the scoring charts. With 25 points, Mancini&#8217;s men are just a length of Arsenal (3rd), Chelsea and Manchester United, the duo head with three ahead of City.</p>
<p>Saturday, &#8220;ManU&#8221; took full advantage of Chelsea&#8217;s defeat to Birmingham, his third in four games, and the first loss at home to Arsenal coming up for the Blues lead the Championship (28 pts).</p>
<p>This is the kind of day that Sir Alex Ferguson relishes. In 24 years at the helm of MU, the Scottish manager has been very afternoon when his team takes advantage of the mistakes of his rivals for the title.</p>
<p>Far from being great, the Red Devils, thanks to Patrice Evra (his first goal in three years) and small Javier Hernandez, won a decisive victory for the rest of the season.</p>
<p>Again, as since the beginning of the season, the game offered by &#8220;MU&#8221; has been disappointing, even against 9 to 11 for thirty minutes. United now waiting for the return to fitness of Wayne Rooney, standing ovation for his coming into play in the 56th minute and missed an opportunity late in the game.</p>
<p>For its part, Chelsea, the defending champion, lost for the third time in the last four league games after suffering the law of Liverpool (2-0) and Sunderland (3-0).</p>
<p>Championship relaunched</p>
<p>The Blues have conceded a goal yet and, especially, were once again unable to register a to a team from Birmingham, only 14th. Even if Chelsea retain his place at the top of the Premier League, the crisis is here and there.</p>
<p>The Gunners, they were leading 2-0 at half time against Tottenham before sinking and bowing 3-2. This defeat, the first at home against their hated neighbor for 17 years, recalled all the shortcomings of this team, young and bright, but suffers from a lack of maturity and experience crying.</p>
<p>Not the players Arsene Wenger would have lost this match. Yet they lost, cashing purposes of chicks and they missed the opportunity to take the lead in the Premier League.</p>
<p>Bolton, now fifth, has signed a stunning victory over Newcastle (5-1). The Trotters, which produce a very nice football, are currently the biggest surprise of the season. Liverpool, West Ham won easily 3-0, continuing its recovery and now points to ninth place.</p>
<p>The day also marked the first appearance of the 1998 world champion Robert Pires with Aston Villa (13th), which did not prevent the &#8220;Villans&#8221; to lose 2-0 against Blackburn (11th).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini said on Wednesday that his club had had no contact with Wayne Rooney.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.sportprofessional.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/roo.jpg"><img src="http://www.sportprofessional.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/roo-300x200.jpg" alt="" title="roo" width="300" height="200" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-866" /></a></p>
<p>Asked if City had approached the attacker&#8217;s rival club, Manchester United, the Italian simply replied: &#8220;No, never.&#8221;</p>
<p>UM coach Alex Ferguson confirmed on Tuesday that Rooney wanted to change teams.</p>
<p>The clubs most often cited by the English press are welcome to Manchester City and Real Madrid.</p>
<p>&#8220;Rooney is a very good player but I think he will stay at Manchester United. I do not think it will change,&#8221; added Mancini.</p>
<p>&#8220;For me, it&#8217;s a United player and it would not be correct to speak of the situation,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Mourinho confident Rooney will stay at Man U.</p>
<p>In turn, the Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is confident that Wayne Rooney will stay at Manchester United.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think he will stay. He probably wants to leave for one reason or another, but I think he belongs to Manchester United and its fans at Old Trafford,&#8221; said the Portuguese after the victory of his team AC Milan on Tuesday night in the Champions League.</p>
<p>Click here to find out more!<br />
Real Madrid is one of the two clubs most often cited, with Manchester City to welcome the England striker, who wishes to change clubs.</p>
<p>&#8220;If Manchester United finally decides he must go, call me,&#8221; added the former Chelsea coach before bursting into laughter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Everybody is interested. But again, I think &#8211; and I hope because I enjoy it because I like Sir Alex and Manchester United &#8211; the best thing for him is he still there low forever, &#8220;said Mourinho.</p>
<p>&#8220;He will remain at Old Trafford, for sure,&#8221; he repeated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Manchester United at Old Trafford had the last word in the semifinal round of the Carling Cup by winning 3-1 at Manchester City, up the 2-1 the way he brought in his favor the City to seal their ticket to the Wembley final.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://estaticos03.marca.com/imagenes/2010/01/27/futbol/futbol_internacional/premier_league/1264632388_0.jpg" class="aligncenter" width="330" height="500" /></p>
<p>From the opening whistle it was a high-voltage derby in which the City was looking for his first final in the emblematic copera Stadium in London since the year 81. He denied United&#8217;s Ferguson, who played on February 28 tournament final against Aston Villa.</p>
<p>However, overall, the Red Devils, with England&#8217;s Wayne Rooney as a lone striker, had difficulty creating clear chances in the first half. The United printed more pressure on the eleventh day of Roberto Mancini, without Robinho, who is negotiating his departure from this entity to a Brazilian club, and that mood is translated into an offensive first goal for the hosts, who signed on 52 minutes English Paul Scholes, a pass from Michael Carrick.</p>
<p>The United regained his form and took the lead heading into the final. Carrick added to the lead on 71 minutes. And the reply came from a fighter Tevez, who moments later finished off a pass from Welshman Craig Bellamy to give hope to your team.</p>
<p>He could be. Tevez replication was aborted by an unstoppable Wayne Rooney, who said the last word and put in the last minute, his team in the final of the Carling with the third goal of the game. </p>

<p><strong>LONDON</strong>, December 28, 2009 &#8211; Two out of two: the holidays bring six points to <a href="http://www.sportprofessional.net/tag/roberto-mancini/">Roberto Mancini</a> and The City. In the hope that on 6 January, in the Carling Cup derby, Ferguson and Epiphany is not taken away all the excitement. Another win, this time 3-0, in the dual commitment close.</p>
<p><span id="more-383"></span>The victim is Wolverhampton, the other team (as the adversary of Stoke debut), not just among the nobles of Premier, but that had created problems for Liverpool in the last round. Race was not too spectacular for the City, but it proves that you can hit when needed and keep clean sheets for the second time. Opens and closes Carlos Tevez, the author of eight goals in their last seven games played (including Carling Cup), and definitely a man more, waiting for Robinho, for this team. In between, at least three failed scoring chances by the same Tevez (1) and Bellamy (2) and the net on a free kick for Garrido, Spanish defender who had never played this year before arrival in England of former Inter Coach.</p>
<p><strong>Lethal counterattack</strong> &#8211; &#8220;My teams play attack, whether at home or abroad. Only with good game to get to the victories.&#8221; This is not the case of reproach to Mancini sentence of the press conference of presentation: too early to give a philosophy of play to his city, too many three-goal margin to say nothing of a satisfactory race. The fact is that Wolves against the Italian team plays a technical game almost the entire defense and counterattack, using the qualities of speed and lungs from marathoners Bellamy. The initiative is often in the feet (rather rude, however) in Wolverhampton, which boasts one of the worst attacks of the entire Premier League, and which confirms the figure does not transform the pressure into a real opportunity (Doyle 17 &#8216;st, Given parade). Conversely, whenever the City faces in the court of attack becomes dangerous, thanks to a very high technical level.</p>
<p><strong>The choices of left-handers</strong> &#8211; the failure is presented with the same scarf, which has earned him many headlines in tabloids, and with a similar formation to that of the debut: the defense is always an emergency, without the owners Lescott and Bridge: Zabaleta goes to make the left back, Richards played right, with Toure and Kompany in the middle. Bellamy found space in front, whose insurgency was more apparent than real: the Welsh takes the place of Robinho, cold and not exactly happy on the bench (and then on the field for the final 5 minutes). In midfield, Ireland off on the right side and does not enter much in the match (replaced after one hour), Petrov wide left and instead affect: he is the best discovery of this start-management Mancini. Now the technician can work a little &#8216;field in training: the next commitment is on 2 January, Middlesbrough (FA Cup), then January 6 challenge to Manchester United in the League Cup.2009, Mancini started late, but better could not go: fifth place, leapfrogging possible placement Champions.</p>

<p>The Italian coach wants to shore up the defensive system of &#8216;citizens&#8217;, with the help of several fellow players and Calcium, and ratify the offensive potential of the team to prepare the final assault on the &#8216;Champions zone&#8217;.</p>
<p>The new manager of <a href="http://www.sportprofessional.net/tag/manchester-city/">Manchester City</a>, Italy&#8217;s <a href="http://www.sportprofessional.net/tag/roberto-mancini/">Roberto Mancini</a>, is beginning to make its portfolio of signings in order to market winter and summer and have started to appear the first names of candidates to swell the template &#8216;citizen&#8217;, with some flavor to Italianization, as the Daily Mail says.</p>
<p><span id="more-370"></span>Mancini&#8217;s priorities would be a left, center and half the left of midfield, while not ruling out some offensive options.</p>
<p>Mancini, accustomed to big investments in his time at Inter Milan Massimo Moratti as a major endorser will spare no expense to make a competitive team and has already made known to the owner of City, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, his firm plans to make various additions including during the month of January, something that Maxwell will not opposition.</p>
<p>Manchester have jumped in alarm on performance of some of the flashy signings last summer, as Lescott, De Jong and Santa Cruz, for those who paid large sums of money and that so far, do not point to amortize the cost its transfer.</p>
<p>In this situation Mancini has already begun to analyze the market and target different names to try to strengthen the team with new faces, as the case of Simon Kjaer, the Danish defender who is 20 years at a high level in Palermo and has called the attention of other greats of the Premier as United, Chelsea or Liverpool.</p>
<p>A reasonable cost about 14 million more viable would still incorporating the Danish, but in the room also looks forward to the evolution of men like the left side Rubin Kazan Cristian Ansaldi, Azpilicueta of Osasuna and Daniel Carriço Sporting Lisbon.</p>
<p>But if a defensive signing Mancini would fill aspirations, it would be none other than Giorgio Chiellini. The Juventus defender is considered one of the best defenders in Italy today, but the best, and Mancini has always professed his admiration for his safety.</p>
<p>The persuasiveness of Mancini in Italy at the time of signing that could result in an offer around 20 million euros could convince the directors of the Juve departure of the powerful defense of 25.</p>
<p>The flight of Italian Calcio Chiellini would not stop, and Mancini also in the spotlight to Gattuso, despite its recent renovation with Milan, but does not exclude other options for the midfield, as the CSKA attacking midfielder Moscow, Milos Krasic.</p>
<p>However, if a burst signing at the media market of all the names Mancini deck would be the issue of Antonio Cassano. Despite being a player very problematic, Mancini has always confessed devotee of &#8216;Talentino&#8217;, after a failed attempt of joining Inter. After a very positive first seasons at Sampdoria, Cassano begins to feel stagnant and would welcome an exit route to the Premier. However in Manchester think you should always fill other positions as a priority, and the signing of Cassano could be expected.</p>
