Ronaldo get Tevez’s support!!!

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Apparently Carloz Tevez has broken ranks by claiming Cristiano Ronaldo should be allowed to join Real Madrid if he wishes. Ronaldo has been the transfer story since Manchester United’s European triumph in Moscow last Champions League final against Chelsea.

Tevez has risked incurring the wrath of Sir Alex Ferguson by claiming The-Slave-Ronaldo (a 5star slave who earns close to £120,000 per week) should be allowed to leave if he wants to.

“The team has great players, including Ronaldo, of course, “Tevez told AS.”It’s clear that he is a very important player for us, but this is a personal decision, which is up to only him.

“I understand Cristiano. Every footballer wants to play at Real Madrid. On the other hand, I also think that everyone wants to play for Manchester United, but if what he seeks is something else, I think that should be respected.

“I have not talked to him, but when these things happen, neither side feels good.”

p/s: The media may have misquoted Tevez’s comment who are more than willing to put a spin just to sell more copies.

Scholes’ two years plan

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has admitted he does not expect to spend more than another two seasons at the club. 33-year-old Scholes has spent his entire career at Old Trafford and been at the heart of most of United’s success under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Scholes said: “How long will I go on? I’d think two years at the most.

“I have one year left on my contract and hopefully I’ll get another one but I suppose it all depends on how you’re feeling and how you’re playing.”At the moment I just think two years would be about right.”

Scholes has not ruled out moving to a club at a lower level to prolong his career or later becoming a coach, but he admits he will not miss the spotlight that comes with playing at the top level.

He added: “I can’t say that I can’t wait to finish but I am looking forward to finishing with everything that goes with it.

“I suppose people are just very invasive and are always wanting to know what you’re going to do.

“The only thing I will definitely miss is the football, not the general life of a footballer.”
