Carvalho determined to stay

The player who was brought by former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho from Porto has destroyed rumours about him leaving during the January transfer window.  The manager’s exit has caused speculations that the player will follow him too.  However, Ricardo Carvalho denied this and instead reiterated his desire to stay with the Blues.

“At this moment I’m not thinking about leaving Chelsea, but how to improve as a player,” explained Carvalho.

“The Chelsea players are prepared for everything and I’m convinced that we can have a successful season this year.

“I have not changed, I am always the same. Mourinho’s exit is in the past and now it’s important to live in the present.”
