Don't criticise my team, Mancini tells Joe Hart

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has told goalkeeper Joe Hart to desist from criticising his team.
　
The Premiership champions lost 3-2 dramatically to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu with five minutes to the end of their Champions League opener.


A furious Hart told ITV: 'You can't go 2-1 up with five minutes to go and lose the game. We can only blame ourselves.
　
'We dug deep, got a lead twice and we lost it, so we can only blame ourselves. It's hard to come off the field after losing 3-2 and be positive. I'm really sorry.
　
'We're not a team that should come here and pat ourselves on the back for doing well. We're a team that gets results.'

　
But Mancini reacted: 'I agree but I think Joe Hart should do his job. I can criticise the team not Joe Hart.
　
'Joe Hart should stay as goalie. I am the judge, not Joe Hart.'
　
Mancini added: 'It is difficult not because we lost - we can lose against a side like Real Madrid - but because with four minutes to go it was 2-1.
　
'This is strange. I think we need to improve this situation.'
