Savic wants to silence mickey-taking Man City pals

Manchester City's Montenegro defender Stefan Savic says his England teammates have been winding him up ahead of Friday's Euro qualifier.

Savic says the likes of Joe Hart, Micah Richards, Gareth Barry and James Milner have been taunting him by claiming they don't even know where Montenegro is.

But Savic insists the minnows can pull off a shock win.

Savic said: "They keep asking me 'where are we going?' and saying they don't know where Montenegro is, because we are such a small country.

"It should be a good game for both teams, but I expect a good result for us.

"If we want to finish first in the group we have to win both games, but it's going to be hard. But if we don't beat England I think we'll need one point against Switzerland to be second.

"If we can be first it's good, but second place will be very good for us. We have only 800,000 people in our country but everyone is proud of what the football team means.

"It will be a big atmosphere, the stadium has a small capacity but it will be very noisy."
