Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini confident of riding out storm The diminutive Pizarro is aware that he will not be given as much time to display his wide range of passing in England as he was allowed in Serie A. "I know the league in England is going to be different to Italy," he said. But I have a lot of experience at the highest level and whilst I know I need to adapt very quickly, I am confident I can. "I know the player, and he could be useful for us," Mancini said. "He can play in Yaya [Touré]"s position or [Gareth] Barry's." Mancini also left the door open for Carlos Tévez to return to the City team this season if the striker proves his fitness and apologises to his team-mates for his behaviour. "He must apologise, and he knows this," Mancini said. I told him this when I visited his house a week after Munich. He is not an option at the moment but it is possible in the future if he comes back. I hope he has been training in the last three months to help his condition. If he comes back, and he is fit, it is possible. Pizarro has been named in City's 25-man squad for the knockout stages of the Europa League. Tévez has not, and nor has Owen Hargreaves, although Mancini said he was still hopeful that the injury-plagued former England midfielder could still feature this season. "Like any player who hasn't played for two years, when they start to train, every day there is a problem," Mancini said. I hope eventually he is able to play all the time. He will try to play this season.
