Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o has claimed Andriy Shevchenko is being frozen out by his new Chelsea team-mates.
Eto'o made his accusations in the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday.
He said Shevchenko had been wrong to leave AC Milan for Stamford Bridge, where he is seen as Roman Abramovich's "pet" and where the players do not pass to him.
The London club quickly dismissed the comments as pure fiction and a Chelsea spokesman said: "These claims are total rubbish."
Eto'o spoke out ahead of Chelsea's Champions League game against Barcelona in the Nou Camp.
Shevchenko, 30, joined the Blues for £30.8m in the summer and has scored twice this season.
Eto'o, out with a knee injury, said: "I have many friends at Chelsea and we often speak.
"He is perceived as Abramovich's pet and he doesn't get clean assists to score.
"Even [Didier] Drogba in his early days at Chelsea had the same problem. I believe Shevchenko has made a mistake.
"At Milan everyone plays football and for a forward this is crucial because you have more scoring possibilities.
"Chelsea play more defensive football and the two strikers struggle."
just thought it was an interesting article

When this black guy opens his mouth... oh my god, somebody shut him up. For god sake, it's enough.
Why can't he see that?
About Sheva... well, I don't care.
You're right Warchant, it is an interesting article! thanks! (IMG:

1st of all Portugal: Please don't think I'm accusing you of anything, because I'm not. But you might wanna be careful with phrases like "this black guy", especially when you know his name. Some people are a bit sensitive about that (IMG:

Secondly, I think Eto'o is right! (of course Chelski are gonna deny it!) And he's on our side, he's given us a few complements and dissed Chelski! How can you be mad about that? Sheva should never have left us, but if you don't care then why post about it?
