Man City striker Tevez happy he stayed

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has declared he's happy at the Etihad.

Tevez has made a bright start to the current campaign, scoring in City's first three Premier League games.

He told the Guardian: "I am focused on my club and on the Premier League and the Champions League.

"This is what I wanted - to have this hunger for success back again.

"The disagreement with Roberto has ended up being good for me because it has helped give me back this hunger.

"Before, I was playing just to attract the attention of the national team manager. Now I'm playing for the enjoyment and because I have that desire to win things.

"The national team is not my priority. I am concentrating on my club. I have had my first good pre-season in four or five years and I feel good."
