Joaquin ready to leave Betis http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=377302&CPID=23&clid=178&lid=&title= Spanish star Joaquin has admitted he will look to leave Real Betis this summer. The winger has been with the Seville-based outfit for the entirety of his career having come through the club's youth ranks. He has long been regarded as one of the finest talents in the Spanish game but has always remained loyal to Betis despite endless transfer links to clubs both in Spain and Europe. Real Madrid and Chelsea are both long-term admirers of the 24-year-old but have never been able to prise him from Los Verdiblancos despite big-money offers. That looks set to change this summer as the player has confirmed he is ready to seek a new challenge following a disappointing season for both himself and Betis, who are struggling at the wrong end of the Primera table. "Yes, I am open to everything," he stated. "I have spent many years at Betis and it's obvious that I am keen to live new experiences. "Maybe it's time to change my life a little in terms of the footballing aspect. "It's possible my time at Betis has come to an end and the club need to sell me to strengthen the team with the money they will get for me. "It's clear that I'll have to look at all the options because I have been here for five seasons in the first team, during which time I have achieved important things, but, at times, I feel that I need to change objectives to continue growing." Of late, it is Barcelona and Valencia who have been mentioned in connection with the flying winger, but he insists he would be open to a move abroad with Chelsea strongly tipped to rekindle their interest. "If I got an opportunity to to see what it's like to play this sport abroad, I would be prepared to take that step and try my luck in another country," he explained. "I would not be the first or the last to do it." ----- Joaquin准备离开Betis！ 不过为什麽和巴萨连上关系呢～？ Messi超威的，除非是要卖Giuly让Joaquin和Messi在右翼轮替～ ----- Rijkaard delighted with result http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=377167&CPID=5&clid=178&lid=&title= Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard was delighted with his side after they eventually sealed a semi-final place by beating Benfica. Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho gave Barca the lead minutes after missing a penalty, but the home side had to wait until two minutes before time to seal the win thanks to Samuel Eto'o. Rijkaard admitted that they had a few nervy moments at the end of the game as Benfica threatened to capitalise on the Spanish giants' inability to kill off the tie, but the manager praised his side for getting through. "It's exactly what we needed at the moment and I'm very pleased for the club, the players and the fans," Rijkaard told Sky Sports. "I think we played quite decent in the first half and thanks maybe to the missed penalty we really started to get going. "Normally if you score early in the game the rhythm can go down a bit and you can relax, but we knew that we had to go on and keep on playing. "We knew from its previous results that Benfica was good away from home. They created one or two dangerous moments which, thankfully, weren't goals. "In the final moments we were a little bit insecure because at 1-0 you know that anything can happen, but I have to congratulate the players because they have done a good job." Rijkaard says that they are determined to go on and lift the trophy in Paris in May, and says that facing his old club Milan will just be another game for him. "I think every team that participates in the tournament has the desire to win this title and it's no different for us. "I've already played against Milan several times as a coach and a player so it's nothing new anymore. "I think it will be a very interesting game against a very strong team. "It's just another game." ----- 教练很爽～ 不过後防还是很抖，对上米兰是会丢球的～ 要加油阿～ ----- -- Remember, Remember the Fifth of November The Gunpowder Treason and Plot I see no reason why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot --
