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."

  4. I heard he spent most of his 'sick' days­ getting his new 'toupee' ordered. Some­ footballers, have really lost it, eh?.He has been a­ good player for Chelsea, it just seems a shame that­ some footballers (maybe being misquoted by the­ press?)are not happy with their 'lot'. I would­ certainly keep my gob shut for their dough!

  5. I am reeli shocked at Carvalho .he is being very­ ungrateful,or he is scared to fight Alex back for his­ place?

  6. He is Chelseas best defender by miles, he makes­ meathead Terry look like a good player when he is­ alongside him. You wont win the league next year if you­ have Terry and Alex as your centre backs, too slow and­ not inteligent enough

  7. I think he is a bit ungrateful here.He acknowledged­ that 4 out of his 5 years at the bridge has been great.­ He was left out because of his injuries, same with­ Essien, Deco and even Joe Cole. I think he is not­ sincere. If he wants to leave, he can go!!! Alex is a­ perfect match. Chelsea will not miss him much. But he­ is equally a good player. Good luck Carvalho.

  8. Apart from continuing to pay excessive player wages,­ provide every domestic comfort and assistance for­ players and their families, and constant first class­ medical attention and sanitation, what did the Roman­ ever do for us?
    Carvalho is a @#$%.

    From Lawrence, on Tue 16 Jun 9:40AM

  9. yah...................he should out from­­ chelsea........coz Alax plays better than him.

    LOL­ YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL,NOT EVEN HOW TO SPELL­ YOUR OWN PLAYERS NAMES
    Carvalho is the best defender­ Chelski have ever had and deserves better from Chelski­ fans

    From darren m, on Tue 16 Jun 9:40AM

  10. Im not a Chelski supported but i agree with the last­ chap. Alex maybe better than Carvalho but he's­ better than Terry

  13. What a load of @#$% from yet another pathetic waste of­ space.
    Let him go as he is useless anyway.
    Chelsea­ neglected him when injured, that I find rather hard to­ believe for one moment.
    What neglect is he referring­ to.
    If its medical he should try the NHS!!!
