Manchester City head coach Roberto Mancini gave a TV interview before the match.
He said, "I know Tevez once fouled Huang Kaiwen. To make sure nothing unexpected happens in this game, I'll have him sit on the bench."
The reporter asked, "You used to coach Inter Milan, the city rivals of AC Milan. Does facing them feel special to you?"
Mancini smiled and said, "Playing against AC Milan is always special, but now our derby rival is Manchester United."
"Does facing Kevin give you a headache?"
The reporter asked.
"Every coach gets a headache facing Kevin. You can ask Ferguson, he won't have a different answer."
Mancini said, "Kevin is a very special player. You need to assign two players just to mark him, and then you still find you can't stop him. In this world only Kevin puts that kind of pressure on other teams. I even feel like asking UEFA to suspend him specifically."
"So will you lose this match?"
The reporter asked.
