Kaka: Ron and I just want wins

Kaka has claimed that he and Cristiano Ronaldo are combining well on the pitch even though they do not mix off it.

Both superstars made waves in the world of football by joining Real Madrid this summer with the expectation of leading Los Blancos to silverware.

However, the more homely Brazilian will just be starring with the Portuguese winger on the field and not in his social circles.

"The first days were fantastic because we didn't even have a linguistic problem and we had met before," the former Milan player told Madrid's official website.

"We are gradually starting to understand each other better both on and off the pitch. We have our own personality and interests, but we have the common goal of leading Real Madrid to victory."

Madrid have already been criticised for starting slow after expectations soared with every new transfer made, but Kaka states that he will only be worried if they are still struggling in the latter half of the season.

"I would be concerned if by the end of the season we don't play as we want to, but now building up a team is all that counts," he continued.

"We are starting to enjoy ourselves on the pitch and we must keep on adapting. A few days from now the league tournament will show our level."

"We want to win every game, but now we must focus on knowing each other better and grasping what the coach demands from us. I hope those concerns disappear soon."

We Know We're Inferior To Juventus And Inter - Gattuso

Gennaro Gattuso talked about a number of topics ahead of the start of the new Serie A season.

Ac Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso talked to Sky Sport 24 about a variety of different subjects including the controversy surrounding the war of words between Marcello Lippi and Jose Mourinho, along with his team's prospects a few days before the start of the season.

On the penalty-shootout victory in the Luigi Berlusconi Trophy against Juventus, he said, "We obtained a second victory, after the first one against Varese. What reassures us is the performance. I saw a well-organised team, which tried to play like it wanted. We have to restart from these things."

Asked what this Milan team need ahead of the start of the season, Gattuso said, "We need enthusiasm, we need to play like a team. We have lost important men, our captain Paolo Maldini has gone, we don't have Kaka, who often helped us win with his individual moves.

"I think now we have to find a way to play as a team, we need to suffer more and be careful not to concede goals.

"Are Milan far behind Inter and Juventus? I think that should be our strength, it shouldn't be a problem because we feel inferior. Our intention should be to demonstrate something, make some people change their minds. That's how we need to think."

On the Lippi-Mourinho debate, "I don't think Lippi said anything strange. He is the national team coach, and it's true that he has six or seven Juve players in his team, while the only Italian Inter player is [Marco] Materazzi. What he said is normal, and it's normal that Mourinho got mad. Lippi has to think about his own interests, it's normal. That's how I see it."

Asked what a successful season for Milan would be, he said, "We have to show we can play as a team, because I think we need our fans and if we show we play as a team, the fans will get closer to us. That should be our first objective. Then, if we have to win the league or the Champions League, we have to start with the intention of doing our best. We'll see where we have arrived in the end."

Finally, on Silvio Berlusconi's proposal to reduce player wages, 'Ringhio' commented, "I don't know, I thought it was excessive to talk about a 50% pay cut. When contracts are agreed on, it's always done with the people involved, it's not like we decided everything ourselves. Fifty per cent seems a bit excessive, that's a lot."

Inter Director: Nothing Is Definite Regarding Real Madrid Star Wesley Sneijder

Will he or won't he? The Nerazzurri official says the Dutchman's move to the San Siro is still in the balance...

Inter director Ernesto Paolillo has declared that Real Madrid playmaker Wesley Sneijder has not joined the squad just yet and that nothing has been definite regarding his potential arrival.

"The affair with Sneijder is concluded? Absolutely not," he explained to Sky Sport 24.

"When there is something concrete we will let you know. Nothing is defined or determined, we will see in the coming days."

Earlier in the day, the player's agent Soren Lerby, had claimed a deal between the two clubs has been agreed, but that his client is "indecisive" regarding a move to the Nerazzurri at the moment.

Sneijder arrived at Real Madrid in 2007 from Ajax, but now finds himself on the fringes of the squad after the arrivals of Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Xabi Alonso in midfield.

Should the deal go through, the transfer fee is reportedly in the range of €15 million.

Fabio: Manchester United Are Not Weaker Without Tevez & Ronaldo

The burgeoning Brazilian feels the Red Devils are just as strong this season as they were last...

20-Aug-2009 6:45:31 PM

Despite succumbing to a shock 1-0 reverse against Premier League new-boys Burnley, Fabio da Silva believes that Manchester United will not feel the loss of prolific winger Cristiano Ronaldo and tireless engine Carlos Tevez as the club have recruited well.

"I do not believe that we are weaker," the attack-minded left-back recently explained to the press.

"The club has signed Antonio Valencia, who is a very good player, in the place of Cristiano Ronaldo, and [Michael] Owen.

"Clearly, Cristiano is the best in the world, but we are going to handle this situation and we will fight for the championship," he concluded.

Fabio is one of the club's rising stars, along with twin brother Rafael, who occupies the full-back berth on the opposite side. Both players were acquired when they were 15, but only joined the club last summer.

The Brazilians have been earmarked for a promising future and will likely receive extra pitch-time throughout the coming campaign as Fabio has shaken off the leg injury that kept him sidelined at the start of last term and Rafael looked increasingly strong throughout the year.

Real Madrid Duo Ruud van Nistelrooy And Guti Linked With Vietnam Move

Could the veterans make a shock move to South-East Asia?

Reports in AS this morning suggest that Real Madrid's Ruud van Nistelrooy and Guti are targets for T&T Hanoi.

The Vietnamese championship is said to be undergoing a revamp, and the signing of two high-profile names like Van Nistelrooy and Guti is a major part of the project.

They would not be the first big-name players to venture into Vietnamese football. Former Real Betis and Brazil winger Denilson played for Xi Man Hai Phong for one game in June of this year, scoring on his debut before leaving after just three weeks.

The president of T&T Hanoi, Do Quang Hien, is said to be keen to bring the Blancos pair to Vietnam. Spaniard Guti, 32, and Dutch international Van Nistelrooy, 33, have been linked with moves away from the Bernabeu since the arrival of Karim Benzema, Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Do Quang Hien is also reportedly interested in Chelsea's Portuguese midfielder, Deco.

Real Madrid Lower Price For Inter Target Wesley Sneijder - Report

The Beneamata are moving closer to signing the ever-elusive trequartista...

18-Aug-2009 12:51:30 PM

Inter president Massimo Moratti has moved a step closer to signing Real Madrid's Wesley Sneijder, whose price-tag has reportedly been dropped, according to reports in Italy.

The Serie A champions have been hard pressed to meet Real's asking price for the Dutchman, but according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, los Merengues have now lowered their demands.

Previously Inter were facing up to a €20 million outlay on Sneijder, but Real president Florentino Perez has reportedly allowed the 25-year-old's price-tag to drop to €15m. The decrease has been sanctioned in order to persuade Inter that they are able to take Sneijder on a permanent basis, rather than sign him on loan for the first year.

In addition, los Merengues will allow the €15m fee for the former Ajax man to be paid in three instalments.

Inter technical director Marco Branca is expected to travel to Spain soon to discuss the transfer further with Real's hierarchy, but the possibility remains that they will continue to withhold their offer until the end of the transfer window.

I Have A Lot To Offer Chelsea - New Signing Nemanja Matic

The young Serbian is happy to have joined the Blues, promising big things for the future...

Chelsea have announced the signing of highly-regarded midfielder Nemanja Matic on a four-year deal, and the Serbian has stated his belief that he has a great deal to offer the London club.

“I am a solid midfield player, I have a lot to offer and for sure to progress. I will show everyone why I am at Chelsea," he told the Blues' official website.

“I am a central-midfielder, and I know I am not well known, but I have physical power and I am quite a technical, left-footed player,” he continued.

“Since the age of 18 I have been at Kosice, and before that I had played in the youth team of Red Star Belgrade.”

Matic, who is 6'4” tall, had spent some time with Middlesbrough on trial in January.

“When I came it was winter in the north of England so it was not very nice, but the squad was okay and I liked it,” he said.

GOAL VIDEOS AND MATCH HIGHLIGHTS !

As transfer season ends to a Close -- Nowonwards This blog will have all the latest Goals and match Highlights from English premier league(BPL), LA LIGA(spain),SERIE A(italy) & German Bundesliga( Germany league)..

City: Name your price Messi

Manchester City have refused to take 'no' for an answer, as they table yet another bid for Lionel Messi.

Reports from the Marca have suggested that the well-heeled English side are in talks with the Barcelona player's agent, asking him to name their price.

City's previous attempt saw an offer that would buy-out Messi's €150 million release clause and offer him €12 million per season after tax, one which was flatly rejected by the Argentine.

This time around the Citizens have handed the 22-year-old a blank cheque in the hopes that would sway the superstar.

Nonetheless, Barcelona's president Joan Laporta has full confidence that the wonder winger will stay at Camp Nou.

In a statement released on the club's official website, he said: "Barca will always do whatever is necessary to keep Messi happy at the club and we know that Messi has a complete commitment to Barca."

City, however, have been testing many a players 'complete commitment'.

Case in point: Carlos Tevez - £25 million, Gareth Barry - £12 million, and Roque Santa Cruz - £17 million.

The price for Barca's Argentine wonder?

Priceless.

Xavi: Cesc has a Barca profile

Xavi has publically endorsed the move for Cesc Fabregas should Barcelona decide to make an official bid for the midfield maestro.

Barca have been linked with their former youth player and the club's sporting director, Txiki Begiristain, has confirmed the Catalans interest in Fabregas.

"Fabregas is a complete footballer, capable of providing the team with dynamics," Xavi told RAC1. "He is a player raised here, he has a Barca profile:"

The creative midfielder also noted that a repeat of winning the Champions League, where the final will be staged at the Bernabeu this season, would be "special".

"I am really excited with the Champions League at the Bernabeu, also with the FIFA Club World Cup, which we do not have yet, but I will stay with the Champions League," Xavi said.

"It is at the Bernabeu, it is a special motivation for a Culé."

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old has issued a warning to La Blaugrana against complacency, having seen the club plummet under Frank Rijkaard after lifting the Champions League trophy in 2006.

"We have the experience of two years ago, we stopped working hard," he noted. "We have to be humble and work hard for that not to happen to us.

"With the experience we have that will not happen."

Real deny Ronaldo has swine flu

Real Madrid have officially confirmed new signing Cristiano Ronaldo has not contracted swine flu.

The club insists Ronaldo has contracted the normal strain of flu.

Rumours had persisted over Ronaldo's health after the winger pulled out of Portugal's midweek game against Liechtenstein because of the illness.

There were speculation that Ronaldo contracted swine flu during the club's tour of the United States.

Having played a few minutes against DC United with the symptoms, fears were raised that he could have spread the virus and those were heightened as he suffered on the return flight to Madrid.

But Los Merengues have issued an official denial that Ronaldo has anything other than a normal strain of flu and that he will recover in the next few days.

"The player is recovering from the common flu", Real Madrid gave a basic message to fans about the star's current condition," the statement read.

"Cristiano Ronaldo returned from Washington DC with the flu and has been told to rest at home and was prescribed medication."

Huntelaar criticises Madrid hierarchy

Milan’s latest signing Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has hit out at the conduct of the administration at Real Madrid.

The Dutch international was signed for €15 million by Milan last week on a four-year contract. Huntelaar decided to leave after dropping down the pecking order at Real Madrid following the arrival of Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, despite having a good season last year.

However, the parting seems to be less than amicable, with Huntelaar claiming that Real's bosses did not take the right approach towards selling him.

"Those in power at Real did not behave in the way that club deserves," Huntelaar told AS.

"They surprisingly told me my new team would be Stuttgart, and did not heed my requests."

"Those decisions irritated me, but thanks to my agent I was able to stay calm."

"During the first months I was fine, but things started getting worse right after," he added about his spell at Real.

Malouda: Life’s great with Chelsea

Florent Malouda is ecstatic after signing a new deal with Chelsea in a deal that expires in the summer of 2012.

"Of course I am very happy because I think that the club wanted me to sign, and for me it is the same so there is a big trust," Malouda told Chelsea's official website.

"From the first year here when we changed the manager the speculation [about my future] started."

"All I can say is in two years now I played almost 90 games with Chelsea so that means I have something to do here in this club, that's the reason I signed my contract."

The Frenchman also stated that he felt his move to Chelsea was vindicated with their FA Cup win last season.

"That's the reason why I came to Chelsea - to play in those kind of games," explained Malouda. "The end of May is a massive moment in the season, it's when you can collect the trophies and this first one means a lot to me. "

"It was really important to win that trophy and finish the season well, and start this one well."

Malouda also revealed that he can play in the 4-4-2 diamond formation and believes he can form a more devastating partnership with team-mate Ashley Cole.

Terry: Owen could deny us title

John Terry believes Michael Owen could be a threat to Chelsea winning their first BPL title since the 2005-06 season.

"I'm sure playing for Manchester United and training with those players day in, day out, will mean he is only going to score goals, which I must say is a bit of a nightmare for me as a Chelsea player because I want to win the league and get the trophy back off Manchester United," Terry told the London Evening Standard.

"He only played 12 or 13 minutes against us in the Community Shield, but he still showed glimpses of what he can do."

Terry is confident that if Owen makes a successful comeback with the Red Devils, a call from England coach Fabio Capello will be a given.

"We all know he can finish, we all know he works hard and the qualities he possesses. Can he play in the World Cup? 100 per cent, yes," added the England defender.

"I think the manager has said that there are places for anyone in the squad, not just Michael, if they are playing well or scoring goals."

"The manager is not going to be able to overlook things, if he is playing well, he will have to pick [him]."

Drogba: I still feel young at heart

Drogba: I still feel young at heart

Didier Drogba has promised to "enjoy being on the pitch" and play for as long as he thinks he can.

The 31-year-old recently signed a new Chelsea deal to squash rumours of a move out of Stamford Bridge.

And now the Ivory Coast international has vowed to treasure every moment he is playing football.

"I have only been playing at a high level since I was 25 so, in my head, I still feel young. I don't know how long I can continue playing but, for me, the most important thing is to enjoy being on the pitch," said Drogba.

"Maybe I do look happy now and that I know what I am doing - but I knew what I was doing, even last year. I knew what I was doing and I told you that and that is why I am here, with Chelsea.

"I am feeling good. I want to play and I am really happy to be on the pitch and to have my team-mates. I want to give people a good season."

Although Drogba is considered one of the Premier League's most feared strikers, he insists he can still improve his game by cutting out mistakes and improving his ball retention.

Mourinho upbeat after Supercoppa loss

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho insists the better team lost after seeing his side fall 2-1 in a shock Supercoppa defeat to Lazio.

Goals from Matuzalem and Tommaso Rocchi shortly after the hour mark gave Lazio a 2-1 win in Inter's first game without Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Nerazzurri dominated the game, but were unable to convert their possession and chances into goals, and Mourinho believes his side were by far the best.

"Lazio have the joy of victory, we have the calmness of having a team and a future," he said.

"I am very happy with my players' performance, with this new style that is being born, but obviously I can't be happy with the result, above all because as everyone saw it could have finished in a different way, such as 3-1 to us.

"Before they took the lead we had 12, 14 chances. They spent the time in defence and had a lot of luck, then they played in the final few minutes."

Mourinho added: "I have told my players one thing: we have the team.

"Without hypocrisy, one team played and the other won. Without hypocrisy, one team had 14 chances and the other won with luck and with three shots in total.

Moratti: Inter interested in Van

Massimo Moratti has revealed that Inter Milan are one of the many clubs interested in the services of Rafael van der Vaart.

Inter were recently linked to van der Vaart's Real Madrid team-mate Wesley Seijder, and have been reportedly told by Los Merengues that he would cost €25 million.

However, Nerazzurri president Moratti confirmed over the weekend that van der Vaart is also on the wishlist of the reigning Serie A champions.

"Jose Mourinho has said that we need a trequartista and maybe he is right. [Rafael] Van der Vaart is one of the names that we are evaluating," confirmed Moratti.

Moratti also gave his assessment of Inter's new strike force, the recently acquired Samuel Eto'o and Diego Milito.

"Samuel Eto'o is quick and smart," he added.

"He is already scoring goals and can do great things here. Diego Milito is also very good, and is very practical."

Milan deny Pato Chelsea link

AC Milan denied rumorus that Alexandre Pato is on his way to Chelsea.

Pato has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea, now managed by former Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, all summer and the Rossoneri turned down a "monster offer" for the Brazil forward over a month ago.

Fresh reports today suggested Chelsea were close to sealing a deal for Pato, which would see the Barclays Premier League club shell out 52million euros (£44million) and loan the 19-year-old back to Milan for the upcoming season.

However, the Rossoneri have dismissed the story outright with a statement on their website, www.acmilan.com.

It read: "With regards to the rumours circulated this morning by the English press, AC Milan clarify and reaffirm that there are no negotiations ongoing with Chelsea regarding Alexandre Pato, and that the player is absolutely non transferable."

Pato, who is under contract until June 2012, finished as Milan's second highest scorer behind Kaka in Serie A last season with 15 goals in 36 appearances.

It is unlikely the Rossoneri would be swayed by a huge offer having already cashed in around 65million euros from the sale of Kaka to Real Madrid at the beginning of the summer.

Fabiano not thinking about Milan

Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano insists he remains untroubled despite the protracted saga over a possible move to AC Milan.

The Rossoneri have long been linked with the Brazil forward and reportedly had a 14million euro bid turned down by Sevilla, who were holding out for a sum closer to the player's 26million euro release clause.

It is likely Milan have now given up on Fabiano after signing Klaas Jan Huntelaar but the Sevilla star claims he is unconcerned.

"I'm not thinking about Milan," he said. "They made an offer, but I was always calm and thinking about Sevilla.

"I have been training for several weeks and I'm not yet at 100% so that's what I'm concentrating on now, continuing working with Sevilla to start the season well."

Fabiano admits he talked to Milan coach and compatriot Leonardo but believes the Serie A giants did not make enough of an effort to take him to the San Siro.

He continued: "But I always thought about Sevilla and there were only possibilities if the offer was right for Sevilla.

"I think Milan didn't make an effort for Luis Fabiano, so they weren't that interested.

"Anyway, everything's forgotten, I'm only thinking about Sevilla."
