CARLOS ALBERTO PLAYS DOWN INTER LINK
Posted by werdernews on June 24, 2008
Werder Bremen midfielder Carlos Alberto admits he is flattered by reported interest from new Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho, but has poured cold water on the idea of linking up with his former boss.
Carlos Alberto has disappeared of the radar somewhat since being signed by Bremen for a club record fee of 7.8 million euros in July 2007.
Fitness and disciplinary problems saw the Brazilian fail to settle at the Bundesliga club and he was sent out on loan a few months later – first to Sao Paulo and then to Botafogo.
Mourinho remains a fan of Carlos Alberto, who was a key part of the Porto team that he guided to the Champions League trophy in 2004, but the 23-year-old insists he is concentrating on Botafogo for the time being.
“I saw that already and I was very happy,” Carlos Alberto told Portuguese newspaper A Bola. “It is natural that he is interested because we have already worked together. He has already praised me.
“I don’t discard the idea that I will be happy to sort out a deal in the future, but at the moment I’m not looking at anything.
“I’m just thinking about Botafogo.”
