Tevez insists he won't apologize to Fergie
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 18 - 05 - 2012

Striker Carlos Tevez insisted Wednesday he would not apologize to Sir Alex Ferguson after waving a mocked-up tombstone of the Manchester United boss during Manchester City's Premier League title celebrations.
“It seems that Ferguson is the president of England. Because each time that he speaks badly of a player or talks nonsence about me no-one comes out to say that he has to apologize.
“When you make a joke, you have to apologize. But I'm not apologizing,” said Tevez on returning to Buenos Aires after helping City to their first title in 44 years.
The 28-year-old Argentina striker held up a banner designed to look like a gravestone and bearing the words ‘RIP Fergie' as City celebrated their title triumph over Manchester United during an open-top bus parade.
Manchester City later released a statement apologizing to Ferguson and criticised Tevez while the player – who it is believed took the banner from a fan – also said he “didn't mean any disrespect”.
Real Madrid beats Kuwait
Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria scored Wednesday to lead Spanish champion Real Madrid to a 2-0 win against Kuwait in a friendly on its first visit to the Gulf nation.
Madrid finished its season after winning a record 32nd league title by taking on Kuwait, which is ranked 86th in the world by FIFA.
Maria opened the scoring for Madrid in the 26th minute after receiving a pass from Mesut Ozil. Ronaldo, who led his team with 46 goals this season, doubled the lead five minutes later when he headed into the net from close range.
Barca to start school in India
Spanish giant Barcelona is setting up a football school in India as it expand its coaching network worldwide with the aim of training 10,000 youngsters in the next three years.
The school in New Delhi, the first of its kind in India, will be managed by the club's training arm FCBEscola and welcome 300 children aged between six and 14, club officials said.
The Delhi school is set to be operational by the end of the year and plans are afoot to expand operations to other cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Goa, Pune and Ahmedabad.
“This is one of our most ambitious projects worldwide,” FCBEscola director Xevi Marce said Wednesday. “We hope to train 10,000 young footballers in the next three years.”
Football's popularity has grown in cricket-crazy India despite the national team languishing at 164 in the official FIFA rankings.
