Aleksandar Kolarov denies criticising Manchester City teammate Carlos Tevez over his Munich wobbler.
It was reported that Kolarov had criticised Tevez's actions during the club's trip to Munich calling him an "idiot".
But the Serbian full-back has rubbished those claims and admits he is keen to avoid further fanning the flames by offering his opinion.
"It is really not true that I said that word to him," Kolarov told Mondo.
"I don't want to comment any more about this because I'm afraid that I will get misunderstood again."
