claims that top players should be able to
play in any system ahead of their Premier
League clash with Swansea this weekend.
Mancini's City lost 3-1 to Ajax in their
Champions League group game on
Wednesday night and defender Micah
Richards questioned the Italian's approach
to the game, sparking rumours that there is
unrest within the City dressing room.
But Mancini believes that top players should
be able to play in any system and that he is
not worried about the comments made by
Richards after Wednesday's defeat in
Amsterdam.
He told Sky Sports: "If you are a top player it
is not important which system you use. If you
don't understand then you are not a top
player and you can't play for a top team.
"I don't want to speak about Micah. He just
answered the questions. It is not important
what Micah said after the game. We work
hard everyday and all of the players know
the system.
"We didn't concede a goal because we
changed the system. We conceded the third
goal because we made a mistake."
Mancini also admitted that his team are
capable of bouncing back from their
disappointing loss to Ajax because his team
are not a weak side.
"I think that when you play an important
game and you lose you are disappointed. I
am disappointed like all of my players," he
added.
"Despite everything, we played a bad game.
Maybe now it is difficult to go through, but
we have an important season. If we are like
this after one defeat then we are really weak.
But I don't think this."
