Valencia striker Alvaro Negredo admits he lost trust in Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini last season. Negredo is on-loan at the Mestalla from City.
On Pellegrini, he said: "I spoke with him. I told him that I wanted to return to Spain and that I wanted to have more confidence because I knew that with him I'd never feel it no matter how many times he told me I would.
" I started well with a lot of confidence. Then I picked up an injury to my shoulder. I made a mistake in not stopping there.
"I forced myself for the good of the team. Then they don't appreciate your efforts and take away their support."
