No doubt that Ricardo Carvalho has had a fantastic weekend- scoring the equalizer goal for Chelsea in the Community shield. It also looks like he's staying and the transfer rumors were just that, rumors.
July 19, 2009 in USA- An interview in the mixed-zone. He addresses the transfer rumors. When he was ruled out he did think about the rumors in the newspapers.
Ricardo Carvalho said in English:
"What I said in that moment, was --- I had four great seasons here. Last season wasn't so good so I wasn't happy. I think the club- because I didn't play. So in that time, I felt like, maybe it's time to go. I said that because I saw in the newspaper saying maybe that I'm going to leave.
So, after that, I react. But now, I have to be professional and I have to get fit and try to play and try to help my teammates. In the future, you never know but in this moment I'm going to be fit."
