In his autobiography, Craig Bellamy heavily criticises two of his former Brazilian teammates at Manchester City.

Craig Bellamy has branded his former Manchester City teammates Robinho and Elano a "disgrace".

The Brazilian duo were part of the playing squad at the Etihad Stadium when Bellamy arrived from West Ham United in January 2009.

However, Wales international Bellamy has admitted that he was less than impressed with the two attacking internationals.

"We had some very good players at Manchester City when I arrived in January 2009, but we were inconsistent," he writes in his autobiography, which is being serialised by The Mirror.

"I saw what the problem was straight away - it was Robinho and the midfielder Elano and a centre-back called Glauber, who ended up only playing once for City.

"They had formed a Brazilian clique and, as far as I could see, they didn't give a shit. They didn't train with any intensity and if you tackled one of them, it was like you had committed a crime."

Bellamy left City in the summer of 2011 for Liverpool.
