London - Manchester City midfielder Elano launched an stinging attack on manager Mark Hughes on Tuesday, demanding to know why he is being left out of the Premier League team.
"When I am playing I know what he wants and when I come off there is nothing from him," he told Sky Sports News.
"It's his right, he is the manager. I respect him and I will keep working, arriving on time and doing my duties at the club, but my sadness is not playing.
