City ace Tevez taunts Neville

CARLOS Tevez has added more spice to next week’s Carling Cup semi–final derby showdown.

The City convert described his former Manchester United team–mate Gary Neville as a “boot–licker” and an “idiot”.

The striker last night reignited his feud with Neville after the pair exchanged gestures during the clubs’ semi–final first-leg clash at Eastlands on Tuesday.

Neville had claimed in an interview that United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was right to let Tevez leave Old Trafford in the summer.

Tevez said: “In all the Press, Gary Neville came out and stood by Ferguson’s comments, saying that I wasn’t worth £25million.

“I thought he was in the wrong because we were team–mates and I never disrespected him.

“I feel he was a boot–licker when he stood by Ferguson’s comments that I wasn’t worth that money.”

After Tevez converted his penalty, he ran to celebrate with the City fans, in front of whom Neville was warming up.

Tevez gestured to Neville to keep his mouth shut. Neville immediately retorted with a gesture in Tevez’s direction.
