Angry Carvalho hits out at Chelsea
Table of Contents
Ricardo Carvalho has accused Chelsea of neglecting him when he was injured last season — and demanded a move to Inter Milan.
The 31-year-old defender is wanted by the Italian champions, where his former boss José Mourinho is in charge.
Carvalho endured a frustrating campaign at the Blues last season, playing only 18 times due to a persistent knee injury.
"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," the Portugal international moaned in Daily Star.
"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."
Carvalho admits that the biggest attraction of joining the Nerazzurri would be to link up with Mourinho having worked together at both FC Porto and Chelsea.
He 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 José Mourinho again."
