aIall continue steadily to give 100 percent for City before time they say Iam no more section of it. Itas not about money. Thereas no point being somewhere, whether Barcelona or City, and perhaps not playing. Second fiddle will be played by football to the kids and my wife but all my possibilities in life have come from soccer. I really like playing. I know I could perform at a high standard. aLast year was probably my best for City. I felt wanted. I felt needed. I had an inkling at when I wasnat in the neighborhood Shield group this year wasn't going to be as enjoyable the start. Then we signed [Matija] Nastasic, whoas probably been the very best young participant in the Premier League alongside Gareth Bale and Christian Benteke. I donat hold such a thing against him. Heas done very well. aOver Christmas I named Roy Hodgson and Gary Neville and asked their opinion. They were very useful. But following the Southampton game [on Feb 9], a poor group performance, I didnat feature for a couple months. It absolutely was discouraging. I thought I was playing well. Again I didnat complain. Itas been said to me that athe nice guy doesnat usually get what he wantsa. Itas hard to improve my character. However when it affects my job and my loved ones, I will fight for that. aI wasnat [originally] in the last squad for San Marino and Montenegro and Roy called to explain, your own contact that I liked. Royas excellent. Itas unique of at the club, and previously with Fabio Capello when material wasnat explained. Itas described now. It will help Roy being English, developing up knowing the English tradition. He can [get angry]. In Poland away, he let us know we were much better than that [draw]. Once you respect someone like that it has more impact if they then get angry. You are feeling youave let them down.aa When Dawson was hurt, Lescott was drafted in and started in Serravalle and Podgorica. aBut it [the original omission] was a reality check always. That feeling was terrible. I felt I canat let this happen again. Itas frustrating. Iam studying the game better than ever. A centre-half doesnat peak is said by everyone until 28 to 32. Iam only 30. Thereas a few more years at top level. I love education with the lads, a fantastic set of lads, but itas hard on match-days, once you know youare not likely to perform. I havenat watched Match of your Day all time out of frustration.a Mancini rarely talks his reasons. aHe may possibly see me as some one whoas maybe not planning to create problems. Maybe he thinks he doesnat need certainly to explain because Iam experienced enough to know how things work. Even though now and again Iad want to be told, heas surely got to control the entire squad.aa A group. As Lescott shares, the friendly figure of Pablo Zabaleta walks across the car park and shouts up to an window, calling for somebody to get the kettle on. aHeas a really good guy. In the very first half of the season, Robin vanaa Persie was the Bale and fantastic player in the next half but the most consistent player through the entire season has been Zaba, as effective as anyone. The bond is underestimated by people here. Yes, weave got great people, who is able to do great things at any given time, but we also fight for every single other. We hurt when we read reasons for as a group perhaps not being close. Itas possibly the club where our wives mix least however the players mix much more over foods and golf. aI know weare a big club but thereas been speculation that Vinny [Kompany] is going to Barcelona, the largest club in the world. Vinnyas a great player. I wouldnat begrudge anybody should they left. If youare committed then choose whatever you feel is right. If youare going for the money, thatas foolish. People said my reason for arriving at City was money but my choice absolutely now has been justified with awards. For Carlos TAvez in the future from United, people said aheas only going for the moneya. No, heas going because he really wants to play every week.aa Lescott offers an insight into TAvezas famous refusal to loosen up in Munich. aThat was broken out of proportion. Everyone else beyond your club forgot that Carlos carried this club on his back for the last two months. We never forgot that. Never will. Carlos was more nervous returning [from his exile]. The initial day back, he came in and Micah Richards bear-hugged him like his long-lost brother. The ice was broken by that. aCarlos can do what every other striker can and he adds a little more together with his work-rate. Carlos demands effort. He requires the best. You canat enter into teaching thinking ahalf-measuresa because heall present you. Kun [AgAero] has that hunger as well. Kunas one of many factors that produce me want to remain here forever since I donat want to play against him! Heas therefore small, quick and sharp. You think because heas small, he can be just bumped by you off but you canat.a Lescott also heaps praise on Joe Hart. aI donat know if Joe knows but Iam probably his biggest supporter. He is just loved by me around the place. Itas his personality. It must be the goalkeeping point. To want to get hit by the ball you have to be crazy.aa Hart has been criticised this year, significantly by Mancini. aJoe wouldnat let that affect him. Heas among the strongest-minded people around. I understand Joeas decided to function as the best in the world. And he can be. Most of the doubts over him this year are unusual following the time he'd last year. Next year with the World Cup he is able to demonstrate heas the best in the world.a That World Cup also patterns Lescottas thoughts.
