Carlos Tevez: 'Derby not about me'

Carlos Tevez insists that Monday night's Manchester derby isn't all about him.

Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez is adamant that Monday night's Manchester derby is not about him.

Tevez controversially left Manchester United to sign for rivals City in 2009 and is looking likely to start for the hosts in tonight's meeting at the Etihad Stadium, however the Argentine insists that the spotlight won't be on him.

"For me, it's a huge game. But it's not about me, it's about the club and certainly the most important game the club has been involved in for many, many years," Tevez told the Manchester Evening News.

"There's a great focus around the club and amongst the players. Nobody thinks about losing, we just know what the game means to so many people, people who've been waiting for years and years for the chance to bring this title back to City."

"I don't think about scoring the winning goal, just going out there and giving everything for City. All that matters at the moment is the derby, the game where we can take a huge step towards success and the dream everybody at City has had for a long, long time."

City trail United by three points in the Premier League table ahead of Monday night's meeting at the Etihad Stadium.
