Fenerbahce ace Alex slams Chelsea owner Abramovich

Fenerbahce midfielder Alex has slammed Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich ahead of tonight's Champions League showdown.

Abramovich is a regular visitor to his side's changing room after matches.

But Brazilian Alex insists Rom should keep his nose out.

He said: "The president's job is to manage the club. He signs a coach to do a job.

"The dressing room is a place for only the players and coaches."

Midfielder Alex reckons the Turkish fans will drown out Chelsea's faithful tonight.

He added: "In Lyon it seemed we were at home. There will be 4,000 Fenerbahce fans and I'm sure they'll be heard."
