Cristiano Ronaldo returns
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008
Yes, the biggest superstar in football today will finally be back.
And in case you haven’t heard, the 2008 UEFA Champions League is already underway and we already have quite a few teams looking quite strong already for this year’s campaign.
One of which is of course, Manchester United. After missing the services of Cristiano Ronaldo because of injuries to start the football year, the most expensive footballer today could be back for Man-U once they take on Villarreal in a UEFA Champions League Group E fixture on Wednesday.
Ronaldo has been making quite a few headlines the last few months with the rumored move from Manchester United to Real Madrid. Now that he’s officially a Red Devil again, he’s hoping Man-U fans will forgive him for his transgression.
For what it’s worth, Ronaldo remains confident Man-U fans will forgive him, (depends on how he helps the team in the 2008 English Premier League season of course…) although Real Madrid will definitely not, that’s for sure.
‘’When I put on the shirt, I give it my all,’’ Cristiano Ronaldo said. ‘’I’m already in the history of the club. When I play the fans will love me again.’’
Cocky ain’t he? And he uttered those words despite the rumors that aside from the possible move to Real Madrid, he’s also rumored to move to Manchester City after that club claimed they would pay Ronaldo a whopping US$270 million.
Of course, Ronaldo denied there is any chance of…
Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid?
Monday, June 30th, 2008
Cristiano Ronaldo is on the brink of becoming the world’s most expensive player if he decides to take on Real Madrid’s generous offer.
Now that Cristiano Ronaldo’s stint in the 2008 UEFA European Football Championship is over after Portugal lost to Germany, he is now looking into a possible move from Old Trafford and the defending Champions League champions Manchester United, to Real Madrid and the Spanish Premiere League.
After failing to lead Portugal deeper 
into the Euro 2008 tournament, it seems that didn’t hurt his market value so to speak. Real Madrid still wants to land the fiery Portugese striker and after he captured both the English Premiership and the UEFA Champions League titles with Manchester United, Real Madrid is STILL willing to make him the highest paid football player in the world.
Zinedine Zidane, still the highest paid footballer after moving from Juventus to Real Madrid, agrees with his former club. He believes that Cristiano Ronaldo is worthy to break his own record breaking fee and the Portugese’s 3-2 loss to Germany should not slow down his bandwagon.
‘’He has had a great season, a league and Champions League winner, and I think the fact that he and Portugal got knocked out at the quarter-finals doesn’t mean anything because they were up against a great Germany team,’’ retired Zinedine Zidane said.
‘’It doesn’t say anything about the merits during the year. He is not scared of his new Real Madrid engagement and every time they wanted good players they got them. Now it depends on his personal plans, if he wants to…”

Saturday, October 13th, 2007
David Beckham is still nursing a knee injury and he’ll be out for England’s fixture against Estonia.
Heading to England’s Euro 2008 Qualifier against Estonia this Saturday, David Beckham will be out with yet another injury. Despite that, Steve McClaren is still praising the guy because of his motivation to return and play again for his home country.
England head coach Steve McClaren is praising David Beckham for, according to McClaren, the way the England star is still trying to regain his fitness.
‘
‘He’s a true patriot and he loves playing for England,” England coach Steve McClaren said of Beckham for his efforts to be available for the national team’s campaign this season. ”That’s still his motivation, that’s still his mind-set.”
David Beckham is still nursing a right knee injury he sustained playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS soccer. The injury denied Becks for two England European Championship qualifiers last September and will still rule him out of two more fixtures, one against Estonia this Saturday, and another against Russia.
What David Beckham is aiming for now is to be fit in time to lead England to next summer’s finals in Switzerland and Austria. Back in 2001, Becks did just that, scoring a late free kick against Greece to send the England national team to the…
