In Monday's unofficial news review "pusė lūpų" (half of the lips) writes about the disqualification of Michael Ball, praise for Christian Vieri, congratulations from Arsene Wenger, "Milan" targeting Samuel Eto'o, and a possible return of Andriy Shevchenko to Italy.
The English Football Association is investigating an incident that occurred during the match between "Man City" and "Man Utd" (0-1), as reported by Sky Sports. Remember that "Man City" defender Michael Ball kicked "Red Devils" goalkeeper Cristiano Ronaldo in the stomach. He faces a long-term disqualification for this.
"Atalanta" head coach Stefano Colantuono did not spare praise for striker Christian Vieri after the victory against "Siena" (3-1). "Bobo sacrificed a lot to return to the field. Vieri is an example of professionalism," the coach is quoted by the Italian press.
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger congratulated "Man Utd" on their first place. "Of course, I don't expect Ferguson to send me a bottle of wine, but still congratulations on the victory," (euro-football).
The management of "Milan" is preparing an offer to "Barcelona" for Samuel Eto'o, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport. The report notes that the coach of the Italian team, Carlo Ancelotti, is a big admirer of the Cameroonian. The proposed ransom price is 50 million US dollars.
Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez said in an interview, "Over the past two years, Milan has strengthened. It is clear to everyone that we are facing a team with very powerful players. "Milan" is a very dangerous opponent. But we have also changed and become stronger" (lenty.ru).
The Italian press speculates whether "Chelsea" and Ukrainian national team striker Andriy Shevchenko will return to "Milan" in the summer. Now, fueling the rumors, is a phrase from Andrei's wife, American model Kristen Pazik, saying she is tired of living in London and would like to return to Milan - the world's fashion capital. Interestingly, just a year ago, she vehemently asked her husband to leave Milan and move to London. "Chelsea" is ready to sell the Ukrainian striker, but for the same amount - about 45 million euros.

Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o positively evaluates "Real's" return to the race for the championship title, as reported by Sky Sports. "In a tough battle, victory is doubly sweet, both for us and for the fans. A great champion needs strong opponents, and "Real" is now strong enough. Only after a serious fight can you truly appreciate the victory, and the title is doubly dear," said the Cameroonian.
