He told Atletico Madrid’s official website:

“I am aware that there are always rumours about my future, but actually I am isolated from everything.”

He said that he has always been committed to Atletico and that everybody knows it. He also added not to pay much attention to what comes out.

“I am happy to be spending my fourth year at Atletico Madrid. I realise that I have learned many things both on and off the field during my time here.”

“We have not started the season well. The situation now is not good, but we must realise that we are practically the same players from last season except the odd change. We are the ones we have to look at the situation the team is in and pull forward, because we have no choice.”

Beckham To AC Milan’s Defence

David Beckham wouldn’t mind playing in defence for AC Milan as long as he gets a chance to prove himself worthy for England’s World Cup 2010 squad.

Milan are without their right-back Massimo Oddo and manager Leonardo is hinting that Beckham could start in defence.

He said:

“I would be happy to play in any position, in defence, in attack.”

Beckham commented:

“I am not expected to start the games. I just want to be part of the team. Players are not jealous. They were happy to see me back. My experience with the club was so special for six months. It was one of the best six months of my career. I missed the team, the players, the fans. The group is very similar. It is the same at Manchester United, it never changes.”

Becks also said that he almost cried when he saw Milan were drawn against Manchester United. On this he stated:

“I have never returned to Old Trafford in seven years. I miss it every day. I miss being a Manchester United player, I miss the club, I miss the fans and friends at the club. It has always had a special place in my heart. It is business. We want to win the game.”

He stated that he wants to add an Italian league title to his list of awards:

“To win a title is my number one wish. To win a title with AC Milan. I don’t think the league has lost any charm. Definitely not.”

Messi Or Ronaldo – Who Is Worldclass?

Real Madrid paid a world record of 94 million euros for Cristiano Ronaldo, and the class was evident from the start.

Lionel Messi turned on a footballing masterclass last season and helped Barcelona win six out of six titles. The Argentine also scooped up quite a few awards, including the European Footballer of the Year and the FIFA World Player of the Year.

Nevertheless, according to a Spanish newspaper- Marca, Real Madrid ace Cristiano Ronaldo is a more complete player than Lionel Messi.

A statistical study has revealed that Ronaldo is, in fact, the better of the two. Marca declared that trying to separate the pair was as tough as “choosing between a mother or father”. However, they concluded that Messi’s woes with Argentina were key to him finishing behind Ronaldo.

Chelsea Need A Keeper?

Reportedly, Chelsea are looking for a Keeper to replace their number one goalie- Petr Cech.

Chelsea are keen to get a new keeper, due to Cech’s recent lack of clean sheets and some possibly costly mistakes during this season.

The Blues are targeting Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow), Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus) and Hugo Lloris (Lyons) as Petr’s possible replacements. There’s a slight doubt if the club can sign either of these keepers who can play in the Champions League this season. They may loan the keeper back to the club and sign a temporary keeper in the January transfer window.
