Stevan Jovetic has said Manuel Pellegrini “killed” him, by leaving him out of Manchester City’s Champions League squad.
The
striker was dropped for new £28million signing Wilfried Bony and the
25-year-old is now considering his future at the Etihad.
He said:
“I deserve to play in the Champions League. I know that. The manager has
killed me with this decision. I feel I deserve my place and other
people have told me the same.”
“People have told me I am a great player, but it is clear that the
manager doesn’t think the same way. I am very disappointed, even now. I
don’t think it was a good decision or the right decision. I
know that I deserve to be on the list. I told the manager this, but he
didn’t want to listen to me. I came here to play in the Champions
League.”
Jovetic, who arrived 18 months ago from Fiorentina,
hinted that he is ready to quit the club in the summer, as the manager
does not rate him.
“I have not made any decision about my future,”
the Montenegro international added. “I will wait until the summer then
we will see. But the manager has put other players ahead of me, so maybe
this is a message about what he wants to do.”
City have been operating with a reduced squad of 21 players this season,
as punishment for flouting UEFA’s Financial Fair Play Regulations.
