During the summer Sir Alex Ferguson gave an interview which referred to our main title challengers, Chelsea. Rather than claiming they were too old to win the league, as the headlines reported the following day, Ferguson questioned how much room for improvement there was in a team whose best players were in the 30’s.
Carlos Tevez has today suggested that with the likes of Frank Lampard, Deco, Nicolas Anelka, Didier Drogba, Ricardo Carvalho and Michael Ballack not getting any younger, Chelsea will struggle to compete for the remaining three competitions.
“I think they are a great team,” said Tevez off Chelsea. “But I also think that as it is for me, at 24 years of age, it is sometimes very hard to recover and play Sunday and Wednesday. I would imagine that for some of the Chelsea guys that are much older it would be even harder. I think that the intensive Christmas schedule will take its toll on them because they have some great players but not so much strength in depth.”
El Apache has spoken
Tevez seems so much older than 24! Amazing, he’s got so much more time to develop too.
Tre and lets hope its development time at united!
well lets just hope he plays saturday and wednesday this week, for a change…..
What a legend carlitos is. From what he wears, what he does, how he plays, what he says…everything really just shows HOW MUCH HE LOVES OUR CLUB.
For fucks sake gilly…..make him sign on the dotted line ASAP
Couldn’t agree more Suyayl except not too sure about the “from what he wears” bit lol Got to start him tomorrow otherwise what sort of message does it send out to players?
I’m a little confused about what he means by the intensive christmas schedule will take a toll on Chelsea. Don’t we have a more congested Christmas then them cus of the WCC? Plus, i disagree about us having more depth than them, I think we’re on par with them or they’re slightly better than us.
