'Brazilian soccer side Flamengo will miss the services of a £4.6 million player after

The injured centre-forward was watching Paraguay beat Chile when his wife starting
fighting with a fashion model.
Norma Benitez is said not to have enjoyed the attention the model was giving her
husband and allegedly attacked her.
The model, Lorena Arias, filed a complaint with police claiming to have been punched
and kicked by Gamarra's wife, who was later charged with assault.
Gamarra, a 30-year-old centre-forward signed from Athletico Madrid in August, says he
can't return to Brazil to play for the Rio club as his wife needs him.
Local newspaper Jornal do Brasil reports that the may also mark Gamarra's final days

Great quote from his old man near the bottom!!
'A FORMER Manchester City player swapped Moss Side for Massachussets
to become an internet millionaire. But Ian Hadfield's passion for his hometown, and
the team he once played for, has always stayed with him
Ian now owns his own airport in Boston, complete with a diner dedicated to the Blues,
after selling his computer business in a multi-million dollar deal.
He's decked out the bar with scarves and shirts from his playing
days, - and treats punters to live radio commentaries of matches via
the Web. Ian, 46, played as a forward for City's A and B teams in the early 70s,
alongside schoolchum, Blues legend Peter Barnes.
But when Ian learned that he wouldn't make it into the first team he
turned his back on a professional footballing career for good. ``If I couldn't make it
with City, I didn't want to play for any other team,'' he said. Instead he took a
computing degree at Manchester University, then set off to the States in 1983 with
wife Sue. He's now listed in the American Who's Who of the nation's most powerful and
influential people.
But Ian still retains his own little corner of Maine Road in Boston. He paid thousands
of dollars for a large Man City emblem above his diner, even though most Americans
haven't even heard of the team. ``People here have no idea what the emblem is, and I
end up having to tell them the whole City story,'' said Ian.
Ian's parents David and Lydia live in Old Trafford, but are still
true Blues. His sister Sam Stuckey defected to Manchester United when she married
husband David.
``Ian's not too happy that City went down. He keeps telling us they
would have stayed up if he was playing,'' said Sam. Dad David, 73, said:
``What is the joy of going to football if you know they are going to win every week?''
Family loyalties are mixed among Ian's three sons, with a Liverpool,
United and City fan among the ranks. But his own soccer career has been revived with
Over-40s team Hudson Benfica.
He has taken them from the sixth division through to the brink of the
second division in the New England Over the Hill Soccer League, and
he is top goalscorer.'

'A HATE campaign aimed at destablising the board at Manchester City
has been condemned as ''cowardly and pointless''. Blues directors and influential
supporters have been sent faxes and letters critical of the club's chief operating
director Chris Bird and football director and ex-City legend Dennis Tueart.
City's angry chairman David Bernstein, aware of the campaign orchestrated by a group
of anonymous individuals who are possibly shareholders, has torn up their
correspondence. The chairman has spoken privately of his belief that the campaign is
''pathetic'' and does not want to give it any credence by commenting publicly.
However, deputy chairman John Wardle, who along with his business partner David Makin
controls almost a third of the club's shares, has gone public with his condemnation.
He said: ''These are small-minded people who do not have the guts to put their name
to anything they are saying. It is cowardly and weak- willed and frankly what they are
putting out is nothing but garbage.
There are always individuals who don't like someone else, but I want to say here and
now that no-one works harder for Manchester City football club than Chris Bird. He
and Dennis are part of a team that work 24 hours a day for the club. The chairman
and other members of the board work behind the scenes, but it is Chris as chief
operating officer who has re-organised things and makes things happen for the benefit
of the whole club. We have stability on the board for the first time in many years
with executives who work their socks off. We all work in unison and behind the scenes
it is recognised that things are going well.''
M.E.N. Sport has also received the correspondence which praises the work of
ex-chairman Francis Lee, particularly with regard to the development of young
players. Criticism is aimed at staff changes in the commercial department and the dip
in the value of Blues shares following relegation from the Premiership.'

"In due course they will be summoned back to Greece, and who knows whether they will

you would go for before anyone else. When Robson was England captain, he had the
ability to ghost into the box and pinch a goal when the situation was tight. Paul's
the same.
I'm just glad he's in our side and not anyone else's. It's flattering to be compared
to Bryan Robson but obviously he was a better player than me. He was one of my
heroes when I was a kid. I think he was a hero for every England fan at the time. I
like to go forward the way he did and I've tried to incorporate the sort of scoring
runs he used to make into my game.
But he tackled and defended a lot more than I do. And he had more presence on the

"The game in Munich was already going to be a big game, but it's even more so now.
It's absolutely massive. It's going to be difficult to go there and get a result of
any kind. To be perfectly honest I don't think a draw in Munich like the one we got in
Rome will be any good for us. We've got to go out all guns blazing and get a win. The
difference to four years ago is that Italy after beating us dropped a few points
along the way whereas the Germans don't seem to be doing that very often.
We really have to go there and get three points. I think this is going to be a lot
tougher than that game in Italy and we are under no illusions as to how difficult it
will be. We are certainly not going to come out saying 'we're going to do this or
that' and we will just see how things develop during the game.
Without doubt we are going to be more confident than when we played the Germans at
Wembley. Five wins on the trot can only breed confidence. We knew Greece was a
difficult place to go and we came through successfully and now we have to produce
again against Germany. They have got one over one us and we are looking to turn
things around."

'ALEX FERGUSON has been offered a five-year contract worth £5million to stay at Old
Trafford when he retires as manager.
The new deal is for a full-time role acting as a consultant and ambassador for the
club as they continue their global expansion.
Ferguson, 59, is almost certain to agree to the plan that has been thrashed out by
his son Jason and the United board this week.
It means he has won his war with the board after a bitter bust-up
last month. The £1m-a-year contract will take him to his 65th birthday and a post of
life president could yet follow.
There is still no place for him on the plc board as he wanted - but
the deal appears to have brought peace between both sides.
The agreement brings to an end weeks of uncertainty which saw Ferguson come close to
walking out on the club straight away.
He was furious they were only prepared to offer him £100,000 for 30 days work from
the end of next season.
Ferguson said he would split all ties with United and made it clear he was bitterly
disappointed with how he had been treated.
But on Monday the board agreed to make him the highest-paid manager in the
Premiership for his final season in charge.
Ferguson was given a £500,000 wage rise putting him on £2.1million -£100,000 more than
Sunderland boss Peter Reid.
And now Ferguson is hoping for another reason to celebrate - by signing French
defender Lilian Thuram for £15m.
The Parma player is also being tempted by offers from Juventus and Lazio in Italy but
the United boss is confident he can win the battle for him.'

'MANCHESTER United's young bucks are aiming to put the squeeze on the
senior squad. With world-class names like Lilian Thuram, Bixente Lizarazu and Patrick
Vieira on the Reds' summer hit-list, the established first-team stars are already
feeling the heat.
But a feisty bunch of kids from the Old Trafford Academy ranks is aiming to step up
the competition for places even further * and ensure they are uppermost in Fergie's
thoughts.
Top of the hopefuls is young Scottish midfielder Darren Fletcher, on the mend after
injuries wrecked what promised to be the season which would see him break into the
first team.
The 17-year-old Dalkeith boy had been getting rave reviews, not least from Sir Alex
Ferguson - who tried to blood him at the age of 16 against Aston Villa only to be
thwarted by FA red tape because he was on schoolboy forms.
But there are others showing their intention to challenge for a place in the team,
not least Bojan Djordjic and Michael Stewart, both handed their chance in meaningless
end-of-season games during the recently-ended campaign.
Fletcher is the name which excites the most - he is an attacking midfielder who
Fergie rates as possibly the best prospect to emerge from the youth team ranks since
Ryan Giggs.
But Fletcher is not the only youngster impressing at Old Trafford.
Djordjic's progress has been a factor in the Reds' decision to allow
Quinton Fortune to leave - the Yugoslav-born Swedish winger thrilled United fans with
a cheeky chipped goal in the 2-0 win over Celtic in Tommy Boyd's testimonial last
month.
And he has impressed big Dutch defender Jaap Stam: ``He has trained with the first
team only a couple of times and seems to have some very good technical ability. You
have to have a lot of confidence to play for United and Bojan showed he has plenty of
it when he scored that wonderful goal against Celtic. I think he is quite versatile
but have heard his best position is on the left wing.''
Stam has also taken to Stewart, the fiery 20-year-old Scot who marked his Premiership
debut by clattering Paul Ince and figured in several games at the end of the recent
season.
Says the Dutch star: ``He looks to be a very good prospect. He showed a lot of
maturity for a young lad playing in the centre of midfield - he has a competitive
edge to him and can pass the ball around nicely as well.
``There is a lot of competition for places in central midfield with Roy Keane, Nicky
Butt and Paul Scholes so he might have to bide his time, but I think he will do well
for himself.''
There are others in the pipeline - the development of 20-year-old Flixton-born left
back Kirk Hilton is being carefully watched, centre half John O'Shea is ready to make
a push after returning from his loan spell with Royal Antwerp and fellow central
defender Alan Tate was named the club's Young Player of the Year.
Throw in young strikers Danny Webber and Ben Muirhead, expect others to develop
unexpectedly - in the way Stewart did this season - and the Reds should have a potent
first-team mix at their disposal.'

City's Columbian road to fitness
MANCHESTER City's players will be moving to a South American beat next season
following the appointment of a Colombian fitness coach. The Blues are currently
seeking a work permit for 39-year-old Juan Carlos Osorio, who will work alongside
manager Kevin Keegan and coach Willie Donachie in conditioning the squad for a rapid
return to the Premiership.
Osorio has been working in the United States with the New York's Metrostars, including
German legend Lothar Matthaus, and is understandably excited about the prospect of
returning to the North West after studying at John Moores University in Liverpool.
``It was a hard decision to make to leave the Metrostars but it was an opportunity I
just could not pass up,'' he said.
``It is an unbelievable opportunity to work with someone like Kevin Keegan. We have a
chance to do some really good things at Maine Road, starting with getting back to the
Premiership.''
Such was Osorio's desire to get ahead of the game in England it was while earning his
diploma in science and football on Merseyside that he rented a room overlooking
Liverpool's training ground so that he could spy on how they worked.
It was obviously of some benefit because he now has the UEFA `B' coaching badge.
When City decided to advertise for a new fitness chief, they received more than 30
applications for the job, eventually whittling the hopefuls down to eight interviews
and then a shortlist of three.
The trio were all asked to do a case study on the Academy players, both indoors and
outdoors, and it was Osorio who came out best in the eyes of the four man interview
panel which was headed by director Dennis Tueart and included first team physio Rob
Harris.'
