高洛治︰會把握任何機會

英格蘭前鋒高洛治表示,他會把握在世界杯中每一個上陣機會。

高洛治入選了艾歷臣的廿三人大軍中,原本是用作為前鋒的後備球員。

不過朗尼受傷未知何時可以復出,令高洛治的出場機會增加,並且極可能會在首仗對巴拉圭成為正選。

「我感到很光榮。」高洛治說。

「能夠成為英格蘭於世界杯的一份子實在很榮幸。」

「我很期待,並且會把握每一個機會。」

而高洛治對於朗尼可以在世界杯亮相的機會感到樂觀。

「我相信所有人都希望朗尼會有好狀態,他是我們其中一個最好的球員。」

「他的康復進度十分理想,我相信最終他可以上陣。」

希望佢係決賽周有波入-.-

紅軍再替干沙利斯申辦工作證

利物浦替智利國腳干沙利斯再次申辦工作證,該名22歲翼鋒料可趕及參予今夏的季前練習。

一年前,鑒於智利在國際足協排名70以外,而干沙利斯除膝患未癒外,與利物浦亦不過簽下了一年借用合約而已,以致英國當局最終拒發工作證,及後利物浦提出上訴亦遭駁回。

利物浦執行總裁佩利表示:「目前情況的確截然不同;首先,馬克﹝干沙利斯﹞已經正式簽約加盟,而非外借一年;其次,他的傷患早已復原;此外,智利刻下在國際足協亦排名70以上。因此,我們打算在6月1日正式替他申辦工作證。」

今年一月,干沙利斯暫以借用形式效力西甲皇家社會半年,期間表現大受好評,不少西班牙球會隨即提出外借皆被利物浦所拒,看來賓尼迪斯頗有信心干沙利斯將會在英超聯賽闖出名堂。

與此同時,干沙利斯正在申請西班牙護照,一旦獲准,也就不必工作證亦可憑藉歐盟球員身份在英超出賽。

世界杯-西班牙門將雷納喜做新郎,怎奈只能與22名男士共度蜜月

路透馬德里電---西班牙門將雷納(列拿)坦承,在備戰世界杯之前完婚也有不利的一面。


「我對自己的新身分很滿意,但是我必須要和其他22個傢伙共度蜜月,」西班牙媒體周二援引這位利物浦門將的話說,他上周五與女友在西班牙南部城市科爾多瓦(Cordoba)完婚。

「我們決定在上周結婚,這樣我就可以集中精力出征世界杯,不會因位籌備婚禮而分心。」

雷納將與皇家馬德里門將卡西利亞斯(卡斯拿斯)和瓦倫西亞門將卡尼薩雷斯(簡尼沙里斯)競爭西班牙主力門將的位置,不過他信心十足地說︰「我會全力以赴,讓主教練阿拉貢內斯(阿拿干尼斯)頭疼去吧。」(完)

FROM DEPTHS OF DESPAIR TO A LASTING LEGACY

One year on, Liverpool Echo correspondent Chris Bascombe recalls the greatest night in the Reds' history and how Rafa's heroes showed the world the way.  


  
A year on from European Cup number five, it's no longer the miracle, but the legacy of Istanbul which empowers Liverpool.
  
You only have to read the comments of Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o after his side claimed the Reds' title to recognise how Liverpool's European Cup triumph captured the imagination, and infiltrated the dreams, of everyone who witnessed it.
  
"We thought about the spirit shown by Liverpool and still believed we could win it," said the African, clearly yearning a sample of the euphoria from a year earlier.
  
Of course, Barca's comeback against ten-man Arsenal was routine and, beyond the Nou Camp and Highbury, forgettable in comparison to the heroics of the Ataturk Stadium.
  
But Eto'o publicised how the achievements of Rafa Benitez's side redefined top flight footballers' perceptions of how to play the game.
No matter how desperate the situation, you should never give up.
  
Beyond English football, that's never been a rule.
  
Eto'o isn't alone in declaring Liverpool's exploits a reference point.
You can be sure half-time team talks across Europe since last May have been dominated by Benitezesque motivational speeches, reminding demoralised players that a three goal deficit is retrievable.
  
If the forthcoming World Cup includes a comeback or two, the words 'Liverpool' and 'Istanbul' won't be far from the lips of the successful post-match interviewees.
  
Even David Moyes was brave enough to namecheck the Reds when seeking to inspire his side to a sadly forlorn comeback against Bucharest last season.
  
But while other coaches can point their players towards the images of May 25, 2005, as a source of hope in times of despair, Benitez will always have an unmatchable advantage.
  
For the Liverpool boss, the true legacy of Istanbul is found in the self-belief and heart of those members of his squad responsible for it.
  
No matter how far behind Liverpool have trailed since, or how despondent the supporters, no player wearing red will dare submit, and their confidence is based on experience rather than fantasy.
  
That's why Luton's 3-1 lead at Kenilworth Road in January prompted barely a flicker of concern for those who turned it into a 5-3 victory.
  
And why even at 2-0 down in Cardiff a fortnight ago, not one of the 23,000 Liverpool fans in the stadium, and 1,000 stopped from getting in, thought the FA Cup was certain to go to Upton Park.
  
Perhaps this rediscovered self-belief, wrongly dubbed 'arrogance' by those who can't distinguish between the two qualities, has always been a trait compulsory for those honoured with a red jersey. Benitez has succeeded in tapping back into it.
  
There were plentiful examples prior to Istanbul, obviously.
Liverpool's greatest European comebacks against St Etienne in 1977 and Auxerre in 1992 were beacons in a history littered with largely self-assured, comfortable successes.
  
These events were celebrated with more zest because games won against the odds are often more satisfying than those which, outside of Merseyside, were often underrated due to their predictability.
  
Now, even these famous victories been pushed to the boundaries by the events of the past two years, as the new generation defines itself by its own achievements rather than those which shouted 'remember me' far beyond their usefulness.
  
European nights at Anfield no longer need be previewed with clips of 'St Etienne' when Olympiakos, Juventus, Chelsea and AC Milan are so fresh in the memory.
  
The Auxerre night has now slumped into the pecking order to be seen as it is. A comfortable victory against a poor French team which should never have been 2-0 up in the first place.
  
It doesn't even deserve to be in the same book as an account of coming back from 3-0 down to an AC Milan team including Kaka, Shevchenko and Maldini, let alone the same chapter.
  
It was understandable a night like Auxerre was cherished so much, since the famous European nights since 1985 were so scarce and, 2001 apart, led to very little.
  
Gerard Houllier's side claimed the famous scalps of Barcelona and Roma on their way to the UEFA Cup, but only when the European Cup returned, and was kept, could Liverpool truly announce 'we're back' and be taken seriously beyond The Albert.
  
Owning the European Cup can have that effect.
  
In the 12 months since Istanbul, Liverpool has become a club which can be more at ease with its status as one of the greatest names in world football.
  
There must have been times when rivals muttered under their breath at those early G14 meetings, with some justification, that the Anfield contingent represented a club that was famous once, but was now lucky to be granted a seat at their table.
  
For the past year, however, officials from Milan, Madrid, Turin, Old Trafford and others could only look towards Anfield with envy, and return to their clubs with a request for their manager and players to display the same never-say-die qualities.
  
Most football clubs are fortunate to experience one defining moment in their history.
  
For Liverpool, it's an endless quest to secure one for each generation.
  
For those too young to recall the arrival of Shankly and his impact, Istanbul will never be beaten. It will be celebrated in 20 years time with the same verve as those anniversary dinners in honour of the 1977 side.
  
The books will continue to be published, the heroes of the night endlessly acclaimed, and the tales of how Liverpool jumped from a pit of despair to sip champagne on cloud nine will never fail to enchant and enthral.
  
And, lest we forget, but for Istanbul Steven Gerrard would probably now be in a Chelsea shirt.
  
Most significantly of all, if Liverpool's rapid improvement in the Premiership and victory in this year's FA Cup final is anything to go by, those post match predictions in Turkey - claiming Champions League victory would be the start of a golden era - will not be undermined.
  
As Jamie Carragher said recently: "Don't talk to me about the so-called glory years at Anfield. Look at what we've just won. These are the glory years."

CROUCH HOPING TO IMPRESS

Peter Crouch is hoping to stake his claim for a World Cup place with an impressive performance for England B against Belarus tonight.  
Crouch starts in attack alongside Michael Owen and the Liverpool striker knows it could be a pairing which starts in Germany next month if Wayne Rooney fails to recover from a foot injury.
  
"Hopefully I can stake my case with a couple of good performances. That's the aim," he said.
  
"Wayne and Michael are the first-choice partnership, but it is up to me to put pressure on and do as well as I can.
  
"I think it is obviously great to be involved. He is going to use a few of the boys. Myself and Michael have played together before, I enjoyed playing with him and hopefully it will be the same again.
  
"He is different to me. Our styles complement each other and he has been there and done it. He can help me.
  
"He has looked sharp in training. He has always scored goals and that is what he has been doing in training. He hasn't played as much as he would have hoped but if he can get a couple of games in now then I am sure he will be raring to go for Germany."
  
Jamie Carragher also starts tonight with Scott Carson on the bench.

CARRAGHER MORE THAN SVEN'S MODEL PRO

SOME players are just bad tourists. When they go away, cooped up in hotels on the road, cabin fever gets them.  


  
Phil Tufnell couldn't handle an Ashes series in Australia. Steve Harmison goes half mad with homesickness. There are others who keep themselves away from the group and prefer to form their own little clique.
  
The Manchester City defender Danny Mills used to prefer the company of the management to his fellow players. A few shut themselves away in their rooms.
  
It takes all sorts to make an England squad but if you want the model of a good tourist, look no further than Jamie Carragher.
  
In the last few years, Carragher has become the model professional, the kind of player and the kind of character everyone can look up to.
  
There are many who feel strongly that Carragher should be in the England starting eleven alongside John Terry in central defence.
  
But part of the importance of the Liverpool centre-half to the spirit of this England squad is that he is the epitome of a team player.
  
So far, of course, all the attention has been focussed either on Wayne Rooney's battle against injury, Theo Walcott or the men who will be in the first team.
  
But as Germany grows nearer and nearer, the importance of men like Carragher grows and grows.
  
At the European Championships in Portugal two summers ago, Carragher did not kick a ball in anger.
  
But he did not become eaten up by envy or anger. He did not withdraw from the group. He did not sulk. All the usual cliches apply: Unsung hero, forgotten man, the player the tournament forgot.
  
It would be patronising to say that his attitude then helped him get picked this time around.
  
His performance in last year's European Cup Final was one of the great individual displays by an English defender in a game of that magnitude.
  
He is too good to be going to Germany just because he is a happy camper but at a time when the dynamic of the squad is starting to take shape, he is the kind of player who acts as the glue that holds the rest together.
  
"It wasn't too bad in Portugal," Carragher said yesterday as he shuffled his feet in the sand pit where the Wembley pitch once was.
  
"That was the first tournament I have ever been involved in and I was delighted to be there, to be honest.
  
"Hopefully there will be a chance for me at this World Cup because I have progressed since Portugal.
  
"I'm not going as a fan on the inside this time. I would like to take part in this one. I was just so excited to be there in Portugal.
  
"It's difficult sometimes when you're not in the side. You feel like the training is always geared to the eleven starters.
  
"Rightly so, because if I was in the eleven, that's how I'd want it to be. But sometimes you feel as if you are training for them.
  
"I may not be in the starting eleven for the first game but I hope I will get myself involved somewhere along the line.
  
"Sometimes a manager takes squad players who he thinks will be good around the squad rather than a bad influence.
  
"I would like to think I am one of the good lads and you have got to hide your disappointment when you are not involved.
  
"I will do as much as I can for the lads. I like a laugh and a joke and maybe that was one of the things that got me into the squad in the first place."
  
Carragher is doing himself a disservice when he says that. He's in the squad because he's one of the best three centre-halves in the country.
  
But he's also the kind of man whose enthusiasm for football is infectious, the kind of man who used to go and sit in the stand with Liverpool fans if he was suspended. Not for him, a stash of DVDs to stave off the boredom during the tournament.
  
Not for him long hours in the amusement arcade at the team hotel.
  
"I'm just going to watch all the matches," Carragher said. "I'll train in the morning and then watch a game in the afternoon and another one in the evening.
  
"I'll fill in the rest of the hours by reading a few football autobiographies. I've got Patrick Vieira's and Bryan Robson's. I'm saving them up for Germany."
  
With a bit of luck, the good tourist will get to show he can play a bit, too, this time around.

THREE DAYS IN ISTANBUL: A DIARY

While most journalists travelled to Istanbul with a brief to cover the final, liverpoolfc.tv columnist and Echo reporter Tony Barrett flew to Turkey to cover the fans. This was his diary after spending day and night with fellow Reds.  


  

Tuesday Morning: May 24

  
Liverpool fans were today described as a "credit to their club and country" by the British Consul in Istanbul. British Consulate General Barbara Hay said the "wonderful" fans would be welcomed back in Istanbul. She said: "Ever since the Liverpool supporters began arriving in Istanbul at the weekend they've been a credit to their club and their country. In the last few days, there has only been a single arrest reflecting just how good their behaviour has been."
  

Tuesday Afternoon: May 24

  



  
There is hardly anything that can't be bought and sold on the streets of Istanbul. There are thought to be more shops in Istanbul than in almost any other European city, selling everything even the most prolific of shoppers could imagine.
  
And trade is not restricted to the bazaars, market stalls and chain stores. Everywhere you look, there seems to be a salesman offering the latest Louis Vuitton bags and DVDs of films not even in the cinemas yet - all the best possible fakes, of course.
  
But one thing money cannot buy in Istanbul is a hotel room.
  



  
The arrival of up to 40,000 Liverpool fans and around 20,000 Milanese to the commercial heart of Turkey means every room has been booked up for weeks.
  
There is slightly more chance of buying a ticket for the final, at a premium price, than of finding a hotel room. The five-star Ciragan Palace, with no rooms available on land, is offering to put up prospective guests on a luxurious yacht moored on the Bosphorus strait.
  
Financial experts say the Champions League final could swell the Istanbul economy by up to &pound;30m. Touts have identified Taksim Square as the hot spot for fans of both finalists, but particularly ticket-hunting Liverpool supporters.
  
Outside a city centre metro station, a youth handed out leaflets seeking tickets "for the highest price" with a mobile phone number. Another carried a sandwich board bearing an appeal in Turkish and English for tickets.
  
With tickets selling on the black market for up to &pound;250 and the added chance of buying fakes, it is an expensive and risky business.
But the mood in Istanbul is good as the big day approaches. Much of the population is in a state of rapture thanks to local team Fenerbahce capturing the Turkish league title at the weekend. Wild parties broke out all over the city on Sunday night as the championship was bagged and there was no sign of them ending by nightfall yesterday.
  



  
And with many locals pledging their allegiance to Liverpool, at least for this week, they are hoping the celebrations will last well into the early hours of Thursday.
  
Last night, the pubs and bars of Taksim Square resounded to Turkish singing; in the days to come, this will be complemented by the sound of Liverpool's massive following. It promises to be quite a week on the banks of the Bosphorus.
  

Wednesday Morning: May 25

  



  
Up to 40,000 Liverpool fans were in Istanbul today as the red army was fully mobilised for tonight's Champions League final. At least 30,000 have travelled with tickets, 20,000 from the official allocation and the others grabbed from anywhere they could be found.
  
Despite pleas not to travel without tickets, thousands more have made their way in the hope of picking up seats when they are there.
  
Last night and today masses of fans gathered in the famous Taksim Square, turning it into a sea of red. The Fado bar played host to the most lively action, with the partying being captured by Turkish TV camera crews.
  
ABA super-heavyweight boxing champion David Price and Olympic silver medalist Amir Khan were both spotted enjoying the festivities.
  
"It's great just to be here," claimed Price. "I've never seen anything like this in my life before. You can't even imagine what it would be like if we actually won the cup because everyone is already having a hell of a time."
  



  
Even increased beer prices could not stop the all-night party, although many fans grumbled after bar owners doubled the price of local brew Efes to eight Turkish lira (&pound;3).
  
Paul Murphy, from Fairfield, said: "There are Liverpool fans everywhere, the only thing is you wonder how many of them will be able to get their hands on tickets."
  
The ticket situation is still causing concern. Authorities believe up to 15,000 Liverpool fans may be ticketless and even the Turkish black market has now run dry.
  
Many supporters blame Uefa for failing to give Liverpool enough tickets, especially with AC Milan returning 2,000 tickets unsold.
  
Alex Lee, from Bootle, said: "I've come over without a ticket because I just wanted to be a part of all this and I'm glad I did but it'll be sickening to watch the game on TV tonight and see all those empty spaces in the ground."
  



  
Despite the large numbers, Istanbul was again largely trouble-free.
A spokesman for the British Consulate said today: "There are no reports of any Liverpool fans having been arrested overnight. They were very lively and obviously wanted to party into the small hours but they were extremely good-natured and just wanted to enjoy themselves."
  
The peaceful invasion of the red army was welcomed by Turkish hotels and bars.
  
Hotel manager Erdem Zabci said: "This is a very special time for Turkey because it is our first ever Champions League final. Everywhere I go in town all I see is red shirts and flags. The Liverpool people are very happy and we like having them in Istanbul."
  

Wednesday Afternoon: May 25

  



  
The hopes and dreams of thousands lay in the hands of 11 men today.
With the kick-off hours away, the final flights from Liverpool were arriving in Istanbul with their passengers in high spirits. For many the first port of call has been the fabled Blue Mosque, one of the most sacred buildings for the estimated 11.5m Muslims living in Istanbul. It is a point of pilgrimage for Muslims throughout the world.
  
But today it continued to welcome the travelling Kop with many fans taking the opportunity to see the Mosque in their free time - despite its Blue title.
  
Sean Sullivan, from Birkenhead, was one of the first at the scene, where he met AC Milan fan Nicola Critti from Sicily.
  
They swopped banter and wished each other good luck in the final in a symbol of how good the mood is in Istanbul.
  
Also visiting the mosque were two Scouse exiles who have formed the fledgling Azerbaijan branch of the Liverpool supporters club. A huge Liverpool flag was unfurled in front of the mosque, much to the amusement of the locals, and a group of Reds fans gathered behind it to sing Reds songs.

In the city centre, the majority of Liverpool supporters were heading for Taksim Square where an Irish bar called Fado has become their unofficial meeting point.
  
Many fans were swopping scarves with Galatasaray and Fenerbahce supporters who were gathering to learn the words to 'You'll Never Walk Alone'. They were also treated to an impromptu rendition of 'Istanbul, Istanbul' as the English visitors thanked their hosts for the warm welcome.
  
Mike Smith, from Croxteth, said: "I've been to plenty of Liverpool games in Europe but the atmosphere in Istanbul is something special. Everyone has been really welcoming to us and we are being looked after. I know a few people were a bit concerned about coming to Istanbul but there's nothing to worry about, this is a fantastic place."
  

Thursday Morning: May 26

  



  
From the depths of despair to almost indescribable levels of ecstasy, Liverpool put their fans through the emotional wringer at Turkey's Olympic stadium. At half time many fans were contemplating a crushing defeat at the hands of AC Milan.
  
Some openly wept, such was the depth of emotion at seeing dreams of their heroes land a fifth European Cup seemingly evaporate.
  
Little over 90 minutes later those very same fans, and many more, were again shedding tears - only this time out of previously unimaginable joy.
  
It is often said that penalty kicks are no way to decide a match of such magnitude - try telling that to the estimated 45,000 Liverpool supporters who turned the Turkish national stadium into Anfield on the Bosphorus for one night only.
  
If the match had been decided on the performance of those who pay to follow their team around Europe, the referee would have been forced to stop the contest a long time before penalties became an issue, such was the overwhelming dominance of the red hordes over their Milanese counterparts.
  



  
Three sides of the huge ground were almost exclusively Liverpool's. Only at one goal end could you find a sizeable number of Italians.
In the build up to kick off this dominance was clear for everyone to see and hear as the Liverpool supporters totally out-sung the Rossoneri.
  
All the usual flags were on show - from the traditional banners showing past victories to new ones telling Jose Mourinho that it was Liverpool and not moneybags Chelsea competing.
  
But with just 50 seconds gone all the joviality disappeared with one dramatic swing of Paolo Maldini's right foot. Maldini is expected to retire from football shortly and if he ever needs any careers advice, he could do a lot worse than become a professional party pooper, such was the deflating effect he had on Liverpool's previously buoyant fans.
  



  
With goals number two and three arriving shortly after there was no one among the travelling Kop who could claim they still fancied their team to win. One of Liverpool's most successful ploys during their glory years of the past was their ability to silence opposition fans in even the most hostile of arenas.
  
But on this occasion their first half performance and the brilliance of Milan combined to bring a hush to those wearing red in the North, East and West stands.
  
It didn't last long. While some fans sought a few lonely moments of contemplation at half-time, the bulk of the Liverpool supporters launched into a defiant chorus of' You'll Never Walk Alone', just as they had in the Champions League group stages against Olympiakos back in December.
  
On that occasion, the Reds managed to overcome the odds stacked up against them and secure an historic victory that put them well and truly on the road to Istanbul.
  



  
But surely, lightning couldn't strike twice. After all, no team had ever before overturned a three goal deficit in the European Cup final.
A chant of 'We're going to win four-three' may have seemed like a continuation of their defiance, but, in reality, it was only a tongue in cheek assessment of their chances of success.
  
But within a quarter-of-an-hour of the second half a four-three victory didn't seem like such an unlikely scenario.
  
Three goals within minutes of each other sent the Liverpool fans into raptures - the dream was alive again.
  
Suddenly, the Ataturk Stadium was again reverberating to the Merseybeat - 'Fields of Anfield Road' and the catchy 'Ring of Fire' being sung with even more gusto than before.
  
Extra-time brought a nervousness which lowered the decibel levels as most fans chose to quietly pray or were simply unable to sing in the face of such excruciating tension.
  
They soon re-discovered their voices as the match was taken into penalties and AC Milan missed their first two kicks. By the time Jerzy Dudek made his final save from Andriy Shevchenko the Liverpool supporters were in ecstasy.
  
Strangers embraced and tears rolled down the faces of many fans.
Twenty years have passed since the horrors of Heysel and this was Liverpool's night of redemption.
  



  
A fifth European Cup was in the bag and, undoubtedly more importantly, their fans had restored their reputation in Europe's biggest club competition.
  
Leaving the stadium after the final whistle the same songs were still being sung as loudly as before but only after they had serenaded their Italian adversaries with a chant of "Milan, Milan" - clearly not directed at Baros.
  
For Gareth Roberts, from Huyton, the victory marked his defining moment as a Liverpool fan. "We've waited so long for this fifth win," he said. "You start to think it might never come but it's definitely all the more special because of the wait.
  
"I have heard all the stories about European Cup wins from the past and because I was too young to be there, I've always felt that I've missed out on something as a Liverpool fan but now the supporters of my generation have got their own glory night to cling on to and I doubt there have ever been any better than this."
  
Phil Smart, from Fairfield, added: "How can you top that? I can't think of anything that we could do in the future that could even come close to what I've just witnessed. Even if we won it another 10 times it wouldn't match that. The best thing is we've now won the European Cup as many times as every other English club put together so our achievements are there for everyone else to admire again."

REDS TO MAKE NEW GONZALEZ BID

Rick Parry today confirmed Liverpool will make a fresh bid to secure a work permit for Mark Gonzalez on June 1.  
The Reds were thwarted in their efforts to secure the necessary paperwork for the Chilean international last year, but Liverpool's chief executive is confident the club can present a much stronger case this time around.
  
"There are many different factors this time," said Parry. "Firstly, we're signing Mark on a permanent deal, whereas a year ago it was initially a one season loan.
  
"He's also fully fit having recovered from the serious injury he had this time last year, and Chile have also broken into the world's top 70 in the FIFA rankings.
  
"We'll be making the new work permit application on June 1."
  
Liverpool fans can watch Gonzalez in action for Chile this evening in a friendly match against Republic of Ireland at Lansdowne Road. The game is being televised live by SKY Sports.
