Fergie attacks Chelsea
July 23, 2008
Sir Alex Ferguson has begun the war of words with Chelsea claiming they are old and will struggle to achieve what they achieved under Jose Mourinho.
Fergie said…
“I’m not concerned about Chelsea. It would have to go beyond Mourinho’s performance to worry us. But it’s hard to see where there’s going to be a big improvement with a team that’s really very experienced. How can they accelerate beyond what they’ve done? I don’t see outstanding progress in a team that is in their 30s.”
Meanwhile Michael Essien was talking up Chelsea’s chances of winning trophies saying…
“We’ve got the best players in the world at Chelsea and by next May will be the only team in contention. Chelsea will win the title this year. Players like Ballack, Lampard and Deco are world class. It is to our advantage that we have so many players who have achieved so much.”
It will be interesting to see if Phil Scolari bites onto the bait and attacks Fergie back.
