Fiorentina loan signing Micah Richards admits he's angry over the way he was treated at Manchester City in the past season.
Speaking for the first time since calling time on his 12-year career at City, Richards provided his own account of why he feels his career has hit a brick wall.
"I don't have any bad feelings towards the club. They put me on the map and gave me a chance when I was 17," said Richards. "But I do have bad feelings towards the playing time (I was given). For any player, when you're not playing it's frustrating. When Roberto Mancini was in charge, he would rotate the full backs.
"When we won the league in 2012, I played more than Zabaleta. So, I feel as though I could have been given more chances to play (under Pellegrini). I felt like I had improved and that I could do it at that level."
