Blackburn attacker Diouf: Liverpool defender Carragher so jealous of me

Blackburn Rovers ace El Hadji Diouf says former Liverpool teammate Jamie Carragher envies him.

Carragher rapped the Senegalese ace in his recent autobiography.

Diouf, who arrived at Anfield from Lens for £10million in 2002, was fuming when the Kop hero used his book to stick the knife in.

Diouf, 29, told The Sun: "When I played at Liverpool, Carragher could have talked to me then - but he didn't.

"He was jealous of me - that's why he talked about me. Because when I came to Liverpool I earned more than him and I was a bigger name than him.

"I took my country to the World Cup and to the finals of the African Nations Cup.

"So Carragher can't criticise me because, to me, he has done nothing with his life."
