Striker not even on bench for 2-2 draw with Switzerland I would never give up playing for my country.

Roy Hodgson tells Joe Cole he must play any position for Liverpool
Hodgson gets tough on Cole after poor start to Anfield career If he can only play behind the striker he is limiting his chancesRoy Hodgson has told Joe Cole he must accept any role in the team, not just his preferred position behind the striker, if he is to make an impact at Anfield."Joe has to come to terms with the fact that he has come here after an unsuccessful period at Chelsea with high hopes of taking Liverpool by storm and unfortunately its not happened," said the Liverpool manager, who will have Steven Gerrard and Daniel Agger available for the Boxing Day game at Blackpool."If he says Well Im not playing in my right position, then youd have to ask him what his right position is. If he says the only place he can play is behind the striker, then he is limiting his chances of playing here."We also have Gerrard and [Raul] Meireles who can play in that position, and at the moment quite often we are playing with two strikers. I would be sad to hear him saying something like that, because he would be suggesting he cant do what he has done so often for England and Chelsea, which is playing in a different position."LiverpoolRoy HodgsonJoe ColeAndy Hunter guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

United ponder 14m offer for Diarra
Lassana Diarras playing time cut since signing of Sami Khedira Former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder keen on moveManchester United are considering making a 14m offer for the Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra.The Spanish clubs manager, Jose Mourinho, has claimed he wants to retain the former Arsenal, Chelsea and Portsmouth player but Diarra is believed to be keen on a move to Old Trafford.Reports in Spain have said Diarra has asked for a new contract despite playing only a bit-part first-team role. The 25-year-old could then use the lack of a new deal from Madrid to seek a return to England.Madrid have publicly stated there will be no transfer activity at the Bernabeu this month. However, they would almost certainly accept 14m, which is 3m more than was originally reported as Uniteds valuation of the France international.Diarras playing time at Madrid has been severely restricted by the arrival of Sami Khedira from Stuttgart last summer.Manchester UnitedReal MadridTransfer windowEwan Murray guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Ryan Giggs plans to stay on at Manchester United for another year
Giggs keen to sign another one-year contract extension I am enjoying my football as much as everRyan Giggs has confirmed he intends to extend his Manchester United career into another season.The 37-year-old has been playing on season-long contracts for a number of years now, with a decision generally taken in the spring about whether he wants to carry on. The United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has offered high praise for Giggss recent performances and the veteran Welshman has now revealed his desire to continue his stellar career into 2012."I am quite happy still playing at the moment and enjoying my football as much as ever," he said. "I said if I was still enjoying myself and still getting picked I would carry on."We will sit down and talk but I am really looking forward to playing next year."No timescale has been put on the talks. But the evidence of recent seasons suggests discussions between Ferguson and the chief executive David Gill with the player, who made his 600th league appearance for Manchester United in last weekends game at Tottenham, will be concluded swiftly."I dont know when it will be sorted out," said Giggs. "We have been quite relaxed about it over the years but it is usually done and dusted quite quickly."Giggs is bidding to win a record 12th league title this season to go alongside his two European Cups and the countless other trophies on his mantlepiece. All of this has been achieved under Ferguson. And although their relationship has changed down the years, the mutual respect is obvious."It is good to hear praise from the manager," said Giggs. "He would be the first one to tell me if I was not playing well or my form wasnt good. We talk a lot more and we are a lot more honest with each other."He tells me when I am not going to play and gives me a little bit more notice now. It is a great relationship and one that has been a big part of why I am still playing."Ryan GiggsManchester United guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Jermain Defoe frustrated by lack of first-team football at Tottenham
England striker admits he may reconsider future Defoe has only scored four league goals this seasonJermain Defoe has admitted to growing frustrated by a lack of first-team opportunities at Tottenham Hotspur. The England striker has dropped out of Harry Redknapps first-choice XI this season as he has struggled for goals, with only four in the league all campaign."I want to help the club achieve things, win trophies and get in the Champions League, but when you feel like you are working hard, training hard and being professional, and then for some reason you are not playing, it is difficult," Defoe told Sky Sports News."It is frustrating. At the end of the day I am ambitious. I want to play in every game and score goals, especially when you score goals for a fantastic club like Tottenham. I have always been like that from the first day I walked through the door and I truly believe that if I am playing games I will score goals. I think my record shows that."It has been really, really hard to be honest. Players come and go, that is just football and it is out of my hands."The 28-year-old insisted he remains committed to Tottenham, but admitted he may have to reconsider his future if he cannot get back in the team. "If you speak to any of the players and the fans, they will tell you that I am committed to the club," he said. "I love the club and I still get the same buzz that I did when I first walked out at White Hart Lane, which is important."But for me the main thing is playing football and if I am not playing football then I am not happy, because I love my football."Tottenham HotspurTransfer window guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Real Madrid striker says carry on playing for United is a one-offRuud van Nistelrooy has told Dimitar Berbatov he would be "crazy to leave" Manchester United, following what has been a disappointing second season for the Bulgarian at Old Trafford.Van Nistelrooy, who spent five years at United before leaving in 2006, said: "I dont think he should leave yet - this is his second year so I think that he should give it another year at least - I wouldnt leave United that easy. I know what its like when youve left - its gone it doesnt come back anymore."I was lucky. I was lucky to play with Real Madrid [after United]. Where can you go after United? Probably thats Madrid. But any other thing isnt the same. Now I know what it is - playing for those kind of clubs thats a one-off for a player."Van Nistelrooy added he could empathise with Berbatov. "Of course I can. For 30m there were big expectations, they arent complete so far and he isnt regularly playing - OK he plays but not always. Of course thats a disappointment because expectations are sky high but I think that when he has the support of the manager and the lads that he should just carry on and turn it around."Premier LeagueManchester UnitedJamie Jackson guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Mark Ramprakash damages knee ligaments playing football 41-year-old Surrey batsman may miss start of 2011 seasonMark Ramprakash is the latest cricketer to suffer a serious injury playing football, and the Surrey veteran may miss the start of next season as a result.Ramprakash, 41, damaged his knee ligaments playing at Charterhouse School last weekend for a team assembled by his former England and Surrey team-mate Martin Bicknell, who now teaches there."It wasnt much of a challenge but I must have twisted and now its agony," he told the Woking News and Mail. "Its going to be about 10 days on crutches and then into the pool, bike work and on to the next stage."This is a common football injury and these days it takes up to five or six months for players to reach full speed. With cricket its different and running between wickets will not be so much a problem as the twisting and turning taking twos and threes."But I think that will be it now, the boots will be going in the bin and its out with the golf clubs."Chris Adams, Surreys cricket manager who was also playing in the game, said: "It was a very innocuous incident and its just unfortunate that its come at this stage in Marks career."We hope he will be ready for the start of the season and knowing him, nothing would surprise me. It is a blow but obviously we have to plan to be without him possibly in the opening weeks, if it comes to that, and it offers an opportunity for other players to show what they can do."Mark wont be there forever, so someone has an opportunity to prove he can step up."SurreyCricketAndy Wilson guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]
