Fresh twist in Beckham tug-of-war

2009-02-15T11:56:00.000+07:00

AC Milan have refused to be put off signing David Beckham, despite LA Galaxy's insistence the midfielder will return when his loan ends on 8 March. Galaxy are unhappy Milan failed to meet a Major League Soccer deadline to close the deal by Friday for the 33-year-old. Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani dismissed Galaxy's stance as a "tactic" and the Serie A club's coach Carlo Ancelotti thinks a move is possible. "Galaxy has forced the situation, but there's time before 9 March," he said. "We've still got 20 days to close the deal," added Ancelotti ahead of Sunday's Milan derby. "My wish is that he can play in other derbies." With Galaxy and Milan at odds, Beckham and his advisors say they will consider their position next week after Sunday's meeting with league-leaders Inter Milan. "David is focused on the Milan derby this Sunday. We will be addressing this early next week," said Beckham's spokesman Simon Oliveira. BBC Sport understands that Beckham's advisors remain confident that a deal can be brokered next week despite the passing of Galaxy's arbitrary deadline. Beckham has the option of buying out his contract and has a clause which means he can leave Galaxy for nothing in November, though returning to America for the remainder of the current season could put his place in England's squad in jeopardy. Beckham had moved to Milan on loan in an attempt to revive his international career after England head coach Fabio Capello said he needed to be playing more competitive football. The England international, who equalled Bobby Moore's England record of 108 caps for an outfield player in Wednesday's 2-0 defeat by Spain in Seville, has become a regular for Milan since his arrival in January. However, with England set for nine internationals from the end of March until October, including six qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup, a return to the MLS could see Beckham left out of the national squad. Milan, who have had a £5m bid for the 33-year-old rejected, have so far failed to meet the Galaxy's valuation, which is reportedly in excess of £10m. I've been as courteous and as gracious as I possibly can out of respect for David, but now it's time to move on Tim Leiweke chief executive of AEG The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star has settled in quickly at the San Siro, impressing both Ancelotti, his team-mates and rival managers with his professionalism and work ethic. Speaking ahead of the Milan derby, outspoken Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho said: "Beckham is a great champion and he is trying to remain with Milan. "For the good of the league, for Italian football, I hope he stays - he has improved Milan as I knew he would when he arrived in Italy. "The fears people had over his signing were not fair on the player. He is a top professional, has ambition, is in great condition and is always motivated to play well. "You cannot always control how a player adapts to his new surroundings, but Beckham has clearly adapted to his club and the Italian league. "He gives his team different qualities and that is a good thing." Beckham has made a big impact on the pitch, scoring on his third appearance and netting with a trademark free-kick in the recent win over Genoa, a game watched by Capello. But the chief executive of Galaxy owners AEG, Tim Leiweke, insisted Beckham would have to return to the MLS. Asked what would happen should the Italian return with an improved offer, Leiweke said the club "owe it to our fans" not to consider it. Leiweke insists the Rossoneri have never come close to meeting AEG's and the league's asking price. However, US football expert Sean Wheelock told BBC Radio 5 Live that he thought Beckham could still end up at Milan. "Until I actually see a definite statement coming out of the New York offices of MLS soccer and quotes of the league commissioner, Don Garber, I don't believe that this matter is resolved," said Wheelock. "I still think that there is a chance - albeit a slim one - that David Beckham could stay permanently at AC Milan and may not return to LA Galaxy. I just don't think this is a resolved matter." BBC

Man City move for Kaka collapses

2009-01-20T17:10:00.000+07:00

Kaka, Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti, Manchester City manager Mark Hughes Kaka joined AC Milan from Brazilian side Sao Paulo in 2003 AC Milan playmaker Kaka has turned down a lucrative move to Manchester City. The Premier League club had reportedly bid in excess of £100m for the 26-year-old Brazilian and offered him weekly wages of £500,000. Kaka told AC Milan's television channel: "At the moment I don't want to change anything. "All the messages that I received said to choose with the heart and I think in the end that has been the decision. It is absolutely not about money." AC Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi told Italian television on Monday evening that Kaka had opted to stay at Milan. And City issued a statement saying they had ended talks, believing it was unlikely a deal could be struck with the Italian side. Executive chairman Garry Cook said: "The discussions reached only a preliminary stage and the player was not involved at any time." City's bid for Kaka was worth £50m more than the current world transfer fee record Real Madrid paid to Juventus to sign Zinedine Zidane in 2001. "That's the end of the story," Berlusconi said. "I'm truly delighted to have kept Kaka at Milan. "Kaka is a great champion and a great man. He has refused the offer from Manchester City, giving privilege to Milan, his companions and his fans. "He said it's because money isn't everything in life. Kaka is staying with us and we're delighted. Money is important, but there are also other things that are important. "The fans are delighted too. Turning down so much money is something to admire." Cook, who spent Monday in meetings with Milan officials and Kaka's father and advisor Bosco Leite, added: "A transfer must work commercially, financially, results on the field and within City's broader community. No commercial terms were framed." Earlier, a group of Milan fans had protested outside the club's headquarters over the possible sale of the Brazilian. RECORD TRANSFERS £46m Zinedine Zidane (Juventus - Real Madrid), July 2001 £37m Luis Figo (Barcelona - Real Madrid), July 2000 £34m Hernan Jorge Crespo (Parma - Lazio), July 2000 £33m Gianluigi Buffon (Parma - Juventus), July 2001 £32.5m Robinho (Real Madrid - Man City), Aug 2008 £31m Christian Vieri (Lazio - Inter Milan), June 1999 £30.75m Dimitar Berbatov (Tottenham - Manchester United), Aug 2008 Supporters had also gathered outside Kaka's house and he responded by beating his hand on his heart while holding a Milan shirt. On Saturday Kaka had played in Milan's 1-0 win over Fiorentina at the San Siro, with the home fans displaying banners such as "Kaka is Priceless" and "Hands Off Kaka". After the game England international David Beckham, who is currently on loan at Milan from United States club LA Galaxy, had predicted the Brazilian would opt to stay at the San Siro. "I don't think anybody in the dressing room is thinking about how much money they can earn," Beckham said. "It's about playing with the best team, with the best players in the world and winning trophies, and it's not always about money. "Ricardo doesn't need my advice. He will decide what he wants to do, but he loves Milan. I don't think he will leave." 606: DEBATE £100m is just madness, and in a way it is good for football he said no TFP Kaka joined Serie A giants Milan from Sao Paulo in 2003 and has since won the Italian league title, Champions League and Club World Cup. The attacking midfielder has scored 86 goals in 244 appearances for Milan. He has also picked up 62 caps for Brazil and scored 23 goals. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, estimated to be worth £15bn, took over as City owner in September 2008 and extensive funds have been made available to City manager Mark Hughes. So far he has secured the services of Wayne Bridge and Craig Bellamy during the January transfer window. Cannot play media. Sorry, this media is not available in your territory. Watch Kaka's wonder goal for Brazil against Argentina "It would have been an astonishing coup for City," BBC Radio 5 Live's senior football reporter Ian Dennis. "But was Kaka ever going to come to City for football reasons?" Kaka is under contract at the San Siro until 2013, and although he stated last February that he wanted to remain at Milan for the rest of his career, he had hinted at a desire to play in the Premier League - which he has described as the "best championship in the world".

Vietnam Food

2008-07-13T13:20:00.000+07:00

The cuisine of Vietnam comes as a pleasant surprise to many visitors and is definitely a part of the Vietnam experience not to be missed. One of the characteristics of Vietnamese food is that it is always fresh being bought the same morning straight from the market. Food is usually prepared with a minimal amount of oil and served with the ubiquitous fish sauce called nuoc mam. Typical Vietnamese dishes you can expect to try include pho, a type of rice noodle soup eaten for breakfast; cha gio, deep-fried spring rolls; and goi ngo sen, a delicious salad made with lotus stems, shrimp and peanuts. Due to the strong Buddhist influence in Vietnam, vegetarian food is widely available.

War Remnants Museum [HCM - VN]

War Remnants Museum Address 28 Ð Vo Van Tan, District 3 Phone tel: (08) 930 5587 (info) Keyword: museum, war-related, author top5 Once known as the Museum of Chinese and American War Crimes, the War Remnants Museum is now the most popular museum in HCMC with Western tourists. Many of the atrocities documented here were well publicised in the West, but rarely do Westerners have the opportunity to hear the victims of US military action tell their own stories. US armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, bombs and infantry weapons are on display outside. Many photographs illustrating US atrocities are from US sources, including photos of the infamous My Lai Massacre. There is a model of the notorious tiger cages used by the South Vietnamese military to house Viet Cong (VC) prisoners on Con Son Island and a guillotine used by the French on Viet Minh 'troublemakers'. There are also pictures of deformed babies, their defects attributed to the USA's widespread use of chemical herbicides. In a final gallery, there's a collection of posters and photographs showing support for the anti-war movement. There are few museums in the world that drive home so well the point that war is horribly brutal and that many of its victims are civilians. Even those who supported the war would have a difficult time not being horrified by the photos of children mangled by US bombing and napalming. There are also scenes of torture - it takes a strong stomach to look at these. You'll also have the rare chance to see some of the experimental weapons used in the war, which were at one time military secrets, such as the fléchette (an artillery shell filled with thousands of tiny darts). The War Remnants Museum is in the former US Information Service building, at the intersection with Ð Le Qui Don. Explanations are in Vietnamese, English and Chinese. Though a bit incongruous with the museum's theme, water-puppet theatre is staged in a tent on the museum grounds.

8 định nghĩa về toàn cảnh Web 2.0!

2008-07-10T09:34:00.000+07:00

Công nghệ Web 2.0 đang xuất hiện khắp nơi trong thế giới Internet và tác động lớn đến thói quen duyệt web của người sử dụng. Tuy nhiên, chưa một khái niệm nào về xu hướng này đủ bao quát và thỏa mãn tất cả mọi người Kết hợp định nghĩa của các chuyên gia công nghệ lại với nhau, người ta có thể hình thành một sơ đồ cơ bản về thế giới mới mẻ đó. Theo quan điểm của nhiều người, Web 2.0 là: 1. Trí thông minh của số đông: Định nghĩa này đề cập đến những trang như Digg (cho phép mọi người tự giới thiệu và đánh giá sức hút, giá trị của một câu chuyện, một bài viết…) hoặc như Google Search (xếp hạng tầm quan trọng của một trang web phụ thuộc vào số lượng và chất lượng các đường link trỏ tới trang đó). Nhưng định nghĩa trên không thể được áp dụng cho Google Maps hay bất cứ mô hình phần mềm dịch vụ SaaS nào như Basecamp (công cụ web cho phép quản lý các dự án), Writely (trình xử lý văn bản trực tuyến), 30boxes (nhật ký lịch trình công việc trên web)… 2. Các ứng dụng web chia sẻ: Quan niệm này đối lập với định nghĩa đầu tiên nhưng lại tương ứng với những chương trình như Basecamp và Writely. Tuy nhiên cụm từ "ứng dụng" không phải lúc nào cũng chính xác. Chẳng hạn, người ta có thể gọi Google Search là một ứng dụng web, nhưng MySpace - cũng thuộc xu thế Web 2.0 - lại không thể được coi là "ứng dụng" bởi nếu thế thì mọi website đều trở thành ứng dụng cả. 3. Web hoạt động như một nền tảng: Khi đưa ra giải thích này, Tim O’Reilly, Giám đốc điều hành công ty O'Reilly Media (Mỹ), ám chỉ các dịch vụ không thể tồn tại mà không có web như eBay, Craigslist, Wikipedia, del.icio.us, Skype và Dodgeball. Nhưng nếu thế mọi cộng đồng trực tuyến khác đều có thể được xếp vào mục này. Nói cách khác, định nghĩa về Web 2.0 này quá rộng. 4. Sự tham gia của người sử dụng: Lý giải này nhấn mạnh sự khác biệt giữa website truyền thống và những dịch vụ mới như YouTube, Flickr và OhMyNews - nơi người đọc và xem nội dung cũng là người đóng góp thông tin - nhưng lại "bỏ rơi" mất các dịch vụ SaaS. 5. Khả năng tương tác và tính năng phong phú: Công nghệ AJAX, CSS... cho phép tạo ra các trang web động, có thể hiển thị đa dạng thông tin hơn. Nhưng rõ ràng MySpace hiện là một trong số những website ít "phong phú" nhất. Ngay cả Google Search, trước khi được trang bị khả năng dự đoán từ khóa hồi đầu năm nay, cũng không sử dụng bất cứ công nghệ "tuyệt vời" nào phía trên cả. 6. Một thuật ngữ được marketing rầm rộ: Đây là suy nghĩ của những người theo chủ nghĩa hoài nghi. Họ cho rằng người hâm mộ và cả các công ty thương mại đứng đằng sau Google Search, Amazon, eBay và Craigslist đã tán tụng chúng quá đà. 7. Lúc nào cũng là bản Beta: Thực ra định nghĩa này là một lời khen ngợi, ý nói các ứng dụng công nghệ Web 2.0 sẽ không bao giờ có "phiên bản chính thức" vì chúng luôn được cập nhật và đổi mới. Đa số các dịch vụ của Google vẫn trong giai đoạn thử nghiệm. Flickr cứ 30 phút lại được thay đổi, chỉnh sửa còn MySpace và nhiều mạng xã hội khác cũng mở rộng tăng tính năng mới vài tuần một lần. Nhưng hệ điều hành Windows và Mac OS vẫn được vá lỗi hàng tháng, chương trình diệt virus cũng liên tục cập nhật mỗi ngày dù chúng đâu có thuộc Web 2.0. 8. Chẳng là gì cả: Đây là một trong những câu trả lời phổ biến nhất trong các cuộc khảo sát về Web 2.0. Đối với nhiều người sử dụng, các ứng dụng, website, dịch vụ thế hệ mới thực chất chỉ là sự kết hợp lại những tính năng đã có sẵn từ trước. Hơn nữa, Web 2.0 còn quá non trẻ để người ta có thể tin tưởng nó sẽ trở thành "một cái gì đó" quan trọng.

Lampard future remains in doubt

2008-07-09T18:30:00.000+07:00

Lampard future remains in doubt

Lampard was at Chelsea's Cobham training ground on Tuesday

Frank Lampard's future with Chelsea remains in doubt despite him telling new boss Luiz Felipe Scolari he wants to remain at Stamford Bridge.

Inter Milan had a £7.95m bid rejected on Tuesday but are expected to return with another offer on Wednesday, reports BBC Radio 5 Live.

His agent, Steve Kutner, says Lampard's future is "completely unresolved".

Scolari revealed on Tuesday that Lampard, 30, had told him he wanted to stay "for more than one year".

"I was very happy because I asked if he wants to stay and he said 'yes, I will stay at Chelsea'," said Scolari.

However, Lampard has just one year left on his current contract and Kutner's response soon after Scolari's news conference appears to have cast more doubt on the player's future.

Talks over a new deal for Lampard have been on-going for two years without success, and Chelsea face the prospect of the England international leaving for free next summer if the matter is not resolved.

BBC FOOTBALL BLOG

Scolari, above all, wants winning football and will adopt whatever tactics it takes to get it

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty

"You've got Inter claiming they've made a bid, Chelsea saying that they are not entering into discussions over a transfer and Lampard pretty much saying meet my terms," said BBC football correspondent Jonathan Legard.

"The Lampard team are not happy, they are frustrated. Lampard wants to stay - exactly as Scolari said in his press conference - but he would like a five-year deal and Chelsea are only offering four on, from what I gather about £150,000-a-week.

"If Lampard feels that Chelsea won't meet his terms then perhaps he needs to look elsewhere and that is why Inter have come back again and are still confident they can get him to play for them next season under Jose Mourinho.

Scolari wants a "family" atmosphere in the squad

BBC 5 Live also report that Chelsea insist there was no row between Lampard and chief executive Peter Kenyon at the Cobham training ground on Tuesday, despite reports to the contrary.

And at his first news conference in England since taking charge, Scolari insisted he envisaged Lampard's long-term future being in south-west London.

"I met him on Monday and told him that I like him very much as a player and as a person and I asked him if he wanted to stay, not only for this season but for longer," added Scolari.

"After we had spoken for 15 minutes, he said he wants to stay and play for Chelsea for many years.

"I am very happy because I think Chelsea need Lampard and I think he is with us for more than one year."

BBC Sport revealed on Monday that Inter had contacted the Blues over Lampard.

However, a statement on Chelsea's website on Tuesday read: "We have informed Inter that we will not enter into any discussions regarding the transfer."

Despite Chelsea's insistence that they had not received an offer from Inter, the Italian club's president Massimo Moratti claims a bid was made.

"This is not true," said Moratti. "There was an offer and we confirm it. However, we don't want to create any big problems.

"They replied that they have no intention of negotiating, as was their right. Now we will see."

Lampard also has an option under Fifa rules to buy out the remaining 12 months of his contract.

Scolari has already signed Portugal midfielder Deco from Barcelona to join the Blues' already considerable midfield resources.

Real bó tay vụ Ronaldo sau cuộc họp thưởng đỉnh với MU

2008-07-09T18:26:00.002+07:00

Khả năng rời MU của Ronaldo là rất nhỏ. Cristiano Ronaldo dường như sẽ ở lại với MU mùa tới bởi nhà vô địch Anh không sẵn sàng để tiền vệ người Bồ Đào Nha ra đi, Chủ tịch Real Madrid, ông Ramon Calderon, thừa nhận. "Ronaldo nói anh muốn thi đấu cho chúng tôi, đó là giấc mơ và anh thật hạnh phúc nếu tới Real Madrid, nhưng ước muốn đó không thành hiện thực do chúng tôi không đạt được thỏa thuận với MU"- Ramon Calderon thừa nhận trên tờ nhật báo thể thao Marca. "Chỉ cần một lần MU nói muốn bán anh, chúng tôi sẵn sàng đàm phán về khả năng chuyển nhượng. Song hôm nay, điều đó không xảy ra" - Calderon nói. "Về lý thuyết chúng tôi vẫn có thời gian, còn gần 2 tháng cho đến khi tháng Tám kết thúc, nếu MU giữ liên hệ với Real Madrid và đưa ra một lời đề nghị"- Ông nói thêm. Calderon và Giám đốc Điều hành MU David Gill sẽ có cuộc gặp khác tại Thụy Sĩ tuần tới về vụ chuyển nhượng này, nhật báo thể thao AS cho biết. Đó sẽ là cuộc gặp kín giữa hai bên trong khi cả hai sẽ tham dự cuộc họp các CLB châu Âu tại trụ sở UEFA ở thành phố Nyon.
