Florent Malouda, like Eric Abidal, expressed his desire to leave "Lyon" after the season ends. The attacking midfielder would like to see clubs like "Arsenal", "Chelsea", Milan", "Inter" among his options. The player himself doesn't hide his sympathies towards "Chelsea". "I would like to move to "Chelsea" and play alongside Didier Drogba," Malouda said.
"Milan" defender Clarence Seedorf from Holland stated that he wants to end his career specifically at Milan. "I want to end my career here. Milan is a special team, and I can't imagine leaving it to play for another team," he said.
"Chelsea" announced the best players of the year. According to fans, the best player of the season is Michael Essien. Conversely, the players themselves chose Didier Drogba as the best. In the Best Goal category, Michael Essien, who scored a goal against "Arsenal" on December 10th, dominated. Young player John Obi Mikel was recognized as the best among young players. Petr Cech was awarded for his outstanding contributions this season.
"Chelsea" player Joe Cole is convinced that his team will win against "Man Utd" in the England Cup final. The defender believes that victory at the new "Wembley" stadium is even more valuable than winning the Champions League. "It seems like others don't appreciate the England Cup, but for us English guys, it's very important. I remember all the England Cup finals I've seen, and to me, it's just as important as the Champions League title, maybe even more important. This will be a special final where the two strongest teams will meet. I'm confident that we will win because we are very angry right now," the player said.
"Roma" head coach Luciano Spalletti said that they cannot relax before the return match against "Inter" in the Italy Cup. The first match ended with a 6-2 victory for "Roma." "Before the match at home, I told the guys that our chances are 50 percent. Now they are higher - 51 percent. However, we cannot relax in any way. The beginning of the match can determine everything," Spalletti said.
"Milan" coach Carlo Ancelotti, in an interview with Corriere dello Sport, stated that the club plans to acquire four top-class players.
