Scolari steps back from Fergie war of words Luiz Felipe Scolari has refused to be drawn into mind games with Sir Alex Ferguson after the Manchester United boss called his Chelsea squad 'too old'.
The Scottish tactician said he "is not concerned about Chelsea" regaining the Premier League title next season because he "does not see outstanding progress coming from a team that's in their 30s".
Ferguson also doubted Scolari's ability to follow in the footsteps of one of his predecessors - Jose Mourinho - who won the English league title at the first time of asking.
But rather than being drawn into an early exchange with Ferguson in the media, Scolari quickly played down the controversy in his press conference after his first match in charge of the Blues - a 4-0 victory over Chinese side Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.
"I will not answer this question. This is not a question for me," the former Brazil and Portugal coach said.
"I think I have a lot of experienced players and also some young boys in my team but I feel we have experience for the Premier League."
