Manchester City defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Micah-Richards-c25259 has made it clear that he may leave City and try his luck elsewhere. The England international has not been able to get himself in the first team in recent games, and he said that the lack of first team football may
hamper his chances of playing for England.
While talking to an English newspaper, Richards said that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello has made it clear to him that if he does not play in the League regularly, it would be difficult for him to be picked in the national team.
Richards said that when he got back together with the England team, it made him realize how important it is for him to be part of the national team. He added that he has immense confidence in his own abilities and is confident that he can tag the right back
position with his name. He went on to say that in order to achieve that, he needed to be in the City team week in and week out. Richards said that he was happy that Manchester City was 2nd in the table and when people hear about his comments, they
may be inclined to say that Roberto Mancini is doing the right thing. However, his growth is also important to him and he cannot bear to be on the sidelines for too long. Micah Richards went on to say that there are many players who are happy to sit out as
long as they are getting their wages, but he is not one of them and wants to play in every game.
The defender made it clear that he does not have any problems with the manager or any of his teammates, but it is the need to play every week that is compelling him to consider a switch. The England international said that Mancini has told him that he is
part of his plans, but he did not get a game for 3 matches before starting against Villa and was once again left out against Blackpool.
Richards added that Jerome Boateng is often the man who replaces him, or at times it is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Zabaleta-c29022, and the in-out situation is just not working for him.
While referring to the time when Mark Hughes was the manager, Richards said that he was often left out but he did not have much complaints because he was not playing that well.
Richards said that at the end of last season he was not really part of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323’s plans, but he worked hard to get in and now that he is maintaining that level he expects to play more often than he is being asked to.
Micah said that he is at the stage of his career where he is no longer a teenager who can sit out and wait for his chance. He added that there is no point of being part of a big team if game time is not assured.
Richards ended by saying that he is seriously considering the possibility of leaving Manchester City, and already there are some well known clubs showing interest. He added that he would have a detailed discussion with the manager and after that will make
the final decision.
