Thierry Henry speaks on Inter Milan and looks ahead to the La Liga clash on Sunday.


After his shot hit the post against Racing Santander, Thierry Henry will be keenly watched against Inter Milan this evening in the Joan Gamper Trophy match. The French play maker is steadily getting back into great form and says he will be fully feet in not more than four weeks time. Speaking on what he sees of Serie A champions Inter Milan, Henry says:

I played Inter many times and it’s never an easy game. When you play an Italian team it’s always difficult. I believe we’ll see a good match and that it will be a good test for both of us.

Thierry has an eye on the Gamper match and another eye on the La Liga match of FC Barcelona against Athletic in Camp Nou on Sunday. The Barca star says:

There’s an important match on Sunday against Athletic Bilbao but though it’s important to know where the points come from it’s also very important to have a good game against Inter. Barca's focus is on Both Inter Milan and Athletic.

Ronnie destroys news of Barca team internal disunity and a possible move to AC Milan.


Barcelona superstar Gaucho Ronaldinho has dismissed talks of his move to AC Milan and re-affirmed that his relationship with fellow clubmate Samuel Eto'o is in the best of shapes.
He also asserts that both he and Eto'o will be present at Barcelona next season to anchor affairs along with the old players and any new signings. Please hear Ronnie out:

I have always been very happy playing with Eto'o. He is a wonderful player who anyone finds it easy to play with on the field. I never had and still do not have any problems with him
We may have a misunderstanding in the past, but we met and he explained the exact details of what he said and what he hoped to convey by those statements. He also let me know why he said them and I understood it all. We have been friends before then and still remain friends.
In any team, you won't expect all the players to have the same mood, and some are more outspoken than others, but that is not really a problem.

On the latest news of his proposed move from Barca to Milan, the dazzling midfielder refutes the story. He says:

I am not leaving Barca and will stay here. I am already working out ways to better next season and will figure the right manner to better work with all my teammates to achieve great results next season.

Despite news of love waxing cold between Ronaldinho and Barca, all indications suggest that such news bears no concrete stand and remains just a mere thought. Of late, the Brazilian has trained less frequently with the club, but he says of that:

I am tired and looking to have some really good rest while looking ahead to next season's challenges.

Olympic Lyon´s full back Eric Abidal has a clear desire to leave Olympique Lyon at the end of the season. abidal rejected a contract extension on better terms to 20012 and informed Lyon´s president and coach his desire to leave by the end of the current campaign.


So far, he has not received any concrete proposal, but he revealed that some of Europe´s finest addresses are interested in his services:

I have not received proposals yet. It is true there is interest from several clubs but it is too early to receive concrete contract offers because I still have to more years on my contract. I like Spain, for the culture and Football, but I am open to everything. Anything else that has been said so far is pure speculation. I know that Barca is interested in me, as well as Real Madrid, Arsenal, Milan and Internazionale, although I do not know if I am going to any of these 5 clubs in the future.

I Don't Want To Deceive The Fans About Ronaldinho - Galliani The vice-President of the Rossoneri admitted that it will be very difficult for Milan to lure the Braz
AC Milan´s vice-president Adriano Galliani stated that Ronaldinho's much publicized possible move to Milan will be very difficult to materialize. He also added that he does not want to deceive the Milan fans by generating any hopes for a possible transfer of the Barzilian superstar from Barcelona to the Rossoneri:

I don't want to talk about Ronaldinho, because I get nervous when on the Madrid side they talk about Kaka. Barcelona knows that if they decide to sell him, we will do everything we can, but I doubt this will happen. Barcelona earns more than us, has lower costs due to a different taxation and I don't understand why they would want to lose such an important player. I don't want to deceive our fans.

FC Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard wants Ronaldinho to commit his future to FC Barcelona. transfer speculations continues to link the Brazilian to a move to Italy (Milan) or even the US Major Soccer League in the summer.


Rijkaard is confident that the Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho will remain at Barca for the rest of his career and hopes that any possible mega offer will be rejected by the club. Italian newspaper reports in Italy suggest that Berlusconi is prepared offer over € 100 mill. to lure "El Magico" away from Camp Nou to the San Siro. Milan are hoping that an improved deal on personal terms and the fact that many other Brazilian players who play for the Rossoneri could tempt the player after he has been criticised recently.


Rijkkard explained:

I sincerely hope that he stays at the club. Ronaldinho still has a contract here and is a Barcelona player. He is a very important both for the team and for the supporters.
When the results do not go the way that everyone wants, all the players share equal responsibility, but he is fine and is friends with everyone here.
