Tévez launches scathing attack on 'idiot' Neville
Table of Contents
Carlos Tévez has launched a vicious attack on Gary Neville, branding his former Manchester United team-mate as "idiot" and a "bootlicker".
The former United team-mates clashed at Eastlands on Tuesday as Tévez celebrated his equalising goal in Manchester City's dramatic 2-1 Carling Cup win on Tuesday night over their neighbours.
Tévez made a "shut it" gesture before cupping his hands behind his ears, in response to comments from Neville that he was not worth the money City spent on him, and the defender then responded with an obscene one-fingered gesture.
Speaking in a radio interview on ESPN Argentina, Tévez said: "My celebration was directed at Gary Neville.
"He acted like a complete bootlicker when he said I wasn't worth £25 million, just to suck up to the manager.
"I don't know what the hell that idiot is talking about me for. I never said anything about him.
"Just as I was running off to celebrate the penalty I had scored, I came across Gary and I said to myself: 'Shut your trap, keep quiet.'
"I didn't go overboard in my celebration and it was directed at Gary, not at (Sir Alex) Ferguson and not at the fans.
"I think he did the wrong thing because I was his team-mate and I never said anything bad about him."
