Premier League - Angry Carvalho wants exit

Eurosport - Tue, 16 Jun 17:03:00 2009

Ricardo Carvalho said he would welcome a move to Internazionale after accusing Chelsea of neglecting him when he was injured.

FOOTBALL Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho, who wants to move to Internazionale after falling out with the West London club - 0

The Portugal defender is wanted by the Serie A champions, where his former boss Jose Mourinho is in charge.

The 31-year-old endured a frustrating campaign last season and injuries limited him to 18 appearances as the Blues finished third in the Premier League and won the FA Cup.

"I've been at Chelsea for five years, and four of them were very good, but this last season I spent a lot of time out injured," he said in the Daily Star.

"This last year I was injured a lot. I wasn't happy and Chelsea can't have been happy with my contribution.

"Furthermore, when I was injured the club should have given me more support. They should have helped me more, especially given my past four years at Chelsea.

"Their attitude disappointed me a little. I believe my time at Chelsea has come to an end and I'm very happy a big club like Inter are interested in me.

"It's a new challenge and I'd like to play in Italy."

Of former coach Mourinho, Carvalho added: "Mourinho's a coach who knows me better than anybody.

"Together we won big trophies. He's an ambitious coach and a perfectionist.

"Let's see if the clubs can reach an agreement. I'd love to work with Jose Mourinho again."

  1. carvalho is a great player and there should no reason­ that chelsea should sell him

  2. I dont believe what Carvalho is saying because to me,­ all he wants is a way to exit. He is a great player and­ have helped Chelsea all along too, but that they didnt­ help him when he was injured is a cheap blackmail and­ tantamount to get the club angry so that he can be­ sold. I say, keep him if no better replacement for him­ but if there is, let him go Now. I wish him good luck­ at Inter.

  4. Let the little @#$% go,Deco as well. Any club should­ only keep players who want to play for a club (good­ times & bad times) this modern players have no­ loyalty any more, the Drog is yet another moody player­ who wants to go, then wants to stay. The attitude of­ players is a joke.

  5. Ricarldo Carvalho is on of the great players chelsea­ have ever had i dont think
    is a good idear for us to­ let him go,to me his apcent in the defence is one of­
    the factors that let us down i dont think he deserve­ this treatment i believe
    he is the oly sweeper we have­ in the team,keeping him in the team for another
    season­ will be of a good to us i sugest we let him stay
    please

  6. He was injured while Chelsea went through two managers­ in a season. Question is: Did the managers actually­ talk to him on a daily, weekly basis or just get­ updates from medical staff? Did the other players make­ him feel he was still part of the squad? This is where­ Mourinho excels "the mental aspect" both on­ and off the pitch.

  7. OWLED RICHURD CARVALHO AS NAT A HOPPAY COMPER. NAT A­ BAT AV AT.

    From Donney, on Tue 16 Jun 3:26PM
  8. He's not really angry. just a little annoyed thats­ all. Chelsea are terible at keeping players off the­ injury list so if he was neglected, it was only because­ there were so many other injured players getting the­ medical and fitness staff overworked and sick of have­ so many players to deal with all the time.

    Especially­ players like joe cole who get injured, over and over­ and over... again and again and again...You get the­ idea.

  10. thomasparker77, what are you talking about? what do you­ mean?

    and alex was probably the best defender in the­ league last season but didnt get the recognision as­ aint a utd player

  11. Carvalho has been a great servant for us. Its a shame­ that he wants to leave. He along with Terry are one of­ the best central defenders of all time. We wish him all­ the very best, if thats what he wants.

    Btw I still­ believe that what has been written, may have been­ tampered a bit. All these players were on international­ duty/vacation. Its very easy to give interviews in­ their local language, and then some journalist­ translates it into english using words that are eye­ catchy. So one can never be sure.

    From Melony A, on Tue 16 Jun 2:24PM
  12. Chelsea buy Carvalho with 45.000.000 $ and we can sell­ him with 25.000.00 or 30.000.000

  13. thomasparker can you get me some of that stuff your on­ ,titus bramble ???????????????

    From handyandyisalways, on Tue 16 Jun 2:18PM
  14. Carvalho is a descent player but if he is unhappy at­ the Bridge then let him go. We don't need whinning,­ we need winning.

  15. "chelsea" you mean the club? the coach? the­ players? the fans? what were we supposed to do? hold­ you hand at the bedside, bring you flowers daily, and­ cry when you were asleep? grow up and be a man. you­ weren't dying. you were only injured and out of­ football. all these portuguese players should leave­ england and never come back. a bunch of prima donas all­ of them. since it comes to this ricky, don't let­ the door hit you on your way out. i used to credit you­ a lot as a defender to the point were I would put you­ ahead of terry but i can't respect you as a­ football if I can't respect you as a man. adios and­ never bring your face back here.

    Loving the lack of class from some of the Chelski­ 'faithful', true to form as ever. Oh, and one­ more thing, Alex is not a good player, not even close.­ He's about as good as Titus Bramble.

  18. shut up cordy.

    carvalho is hardly angry here

    From yip, on Tue 16 Jun 1:06PM
  19. what a load of bull Cordy never seen chelsea spend £80M­ on one player and anyway plenty of players still there­ from the pre abramovich years cant say they are there­ for the cash cause lets face they didnt have any back­ then

    From Donald, on Tue 16 Jun 12:55PM
  20. carvahlo will be greatly missed if he does leave he has­ been an integral part of the "Rich" chelsea­ but dont think mancienne is any where near as good or­ even have the potential be be as good as carvahlo. Best­ solution for all of chelsea's problems is very­ simple just bring Mourinho back he has been the only­ manager to bring success to the club in over 50 years­ it was stupid of abramovich to get rid of him (FA cup­ doesnt really count cause lets face it its worth @#$%).­ None of the players have played to their full potential­ since Jose has left they came close with hiddink but­ obviously still not good enough.

    Blue blood will­ always run through these veins
