News of the World<\/em>.<\/p>\n“Mancini had no confidence in me at all. For him, whatever I did was wrong.<\/p>\n
“I remember scoring a hat-trick but he said I should have scored more.<\/p>\n
“I tried a few times to talk to him man to man, but he never explained why he didn’t like me.”<\/p>\n
Now the Togolese hitman reveals that the former Inter tactician’s treatment of his players caused him to rethink his future at City, after suffering from depressing brought on by low confidence and an uncomfortable training regime.<\/p>\n
“Whenever Mancini asked our opinions and we gave them he still wouldn’t listen. He always thought he was right,” said the striker.<\/p>\n
“Carlos Tevez is the main man, the captain. He is the powerful man, the talisman. And if he is complaining that means there must be something wrong.<\/p>\n
“We have some very strong characters at the club and some very powerful players – Micah Richards, Patrick Vieira, Nigel de Jong, Vincent Kompany and Gareth Barry, they are all tough.<\/p>\n
“But the training wasn’t strict enough and not well organised.<\/p>\n
“Sometimes we’d stop after 20 minutes and then those of us who were not in Mancini’s starting 11 would be made to stand on the side and watch for the next 45 minutes.<\/p>\n
“I had never seen anything like it before in my life, not at Monaco, not at Arsenal and not here at Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
“At those clubs you trained whether you played or not. But at City sometimes even the players who would be on the bench for the next game didn’t train.<\/p>\n
“I started to think I was not a good footballer and the doubt was instilled. After that I was more than depressed, I was gone.<\/p>\n
“Whenever I came to training I was in a bad mood, I didn’t want to train. My confidence was hit hard.<\/p>\n
“At City I didn’t exist. Mancini didn’t talk to me and people had forgotten about me.”<\/p>\n
Adebayor was widely believed to have been taken to the Bernabeu as a temporary replacement for the injured Gonzalo Higuain, but has since won the Copa del Rey with Real Madrid under the guidance of coach Jose Mourinho.<\/p>\n
