Tottenham boss Redknapp: Chelsea struggled without Ashley Cole

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Thu, 03/18/2010 - 09:27

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Chelsea badly missed Ashley Cole for this week's Champions League defeat to Inter Milan.

In his column for The Sun, Redknapp wrote: "The absence of Ashley Cole was clear. He is vital for Chelsea and England.

"Had the world's best left-back been playing, Chelsea would have been more inventive, more attacking, more of everything.

"Inter had a back-line of well-organised South Americans, who will all be World Cup starters this summer.

"But Cole would have unlocked them, because he is such a positive player. Sorry, Yuri Zhirkov is not in the same class."
