Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure helps with confidence.

Both Toure and Tevez had some comments for United. If this was three or four years ago, no Manchester City player would dare shout out a warning of any kind to United. Mostly because they would have been dismissed as rubbish.

But over $200 Billion later, who wouldn’t be a little more confident? And that’s exactly where these comments are coming from, Toure said “When you’re on a good run like that and you lose, everything becomes harder. It shakes your confidence. Maybe that can happen to them. It was difficult to lose that game.

“The circumstances were hard because they got a penalty, which we didn’t think was a penalty. For us, it was really difficult to lose to United. I think it’s a great chance for me to get my revenge.

“I have spent most of my career in England battling United, first at Arsenal, now at City. They are always at the top. Now we have new players, we are capable of fighting against them and that has been shown with our results against them over the last 18 months.”

While Tevez was more humble in stating “I am a professional footballer and being booed when I am on the field is a price I have to pay sometimes. But it won’t affect me at all.

“Derby games are always beautiful. I enjoyed them in Argentina and Brazil but, in England, they are extra-special.
