24 1 SPORTS NEWS Wednesday May 28 1997 Russell Thomas reports that the Brazilian has decided to stay at Ronaldo doubles Barcelona for a 1 9m pay-day (after tax) his money Rugby Union Argentina A 1 7, England XV 58 Catt cameo rounds off try romp more than double the sum in his original deal. Borussia Dortmund's coach Ottmar Hitzfeld says that the principle of 'sudden-death' In tonight's European Cup final against Juventus was If the match is not decided after 90 minutes, the team scoring first in extra-time will win, the first occasion the "Golden Goal" has been ing the financial support of several international sports goods firms to underpin the deal, worth 2.1 million a year to Ronaldo. Negotiations to keep Ronaldo with the team currently coached by Bobby Robson had been going on for months. Nunez said yesterday that Ronaldo had "made good on his word" in RONALDO, the world's most coveted player, yesterday was elevated Into the super-rich of sport when the 20-year-old Brazilian struck a double-your-money deal that will keep him with Barcelona until 2006. By then the striker will have earned a staggering 19 million after tax.

The deal, extending Ron- aldo's contract by two years, reflects the Catalan club's determination to keep hold of the shaven-headed World Footballer of the Year in the face of equally lucrative packages to lure him away to Italy, especially one from Internazlonale. Barcelona's president Jose Luis Nunez confirmed recently that he was seek Gascoigne trains sights on Poland Jos Baxendell, Rees's Sale team-mate, took Alex King's neat pass to round off a sustained spell of pressure with England's second try. Mapletoft converted and followed up with a penalty. Gomarsall was bundled over by the blatantly offside lock Jose Simes as England set up a ruck on the Argentinian line, but the South African referee Jon Caplan allowed the Wasps scrum-half to recover his feet in the same movement and scoot over on the short side. Two scores before half-time, a try by the centre Ju lian Legora and a penalty try conceded by Rees at a ruck, temporarily cut England's lead.

But England sensed they had the measure of their opponents. Martin Haag was bundled over for a try to put the tourists 31-17 up and Mapletoft made a well-timed incursion into the line to create a second try for Rees.

ABaa (Northampton) O'Laary David Lacey finds the England midfielder physically on the mend but disenchanted by criticism prior to Saturday's crucial game AJra Ei NG LAND'S supposed second-string, give or take one or two for wards who may yet take on the Pumas on Saturday, helped themselves to eight tries in defeating their Argentinian counterparts at the Buenos Aires Cricket and Rugby Club. England took the opportunity to give Mike Catt an 18 minute run-out and the Test fly-half had a sumptuous final word with a solo break and deft chip over the last line of Argentinian defence which recalled his similar efforts against Cordoba last week. Mark Mapletoft refused a 40-metre penalty in favour of kicking for touch as England tested the early waters. It proved to be the correct decision. Tony Diprose won the line-out at the tail, England drove on and, after Andy Go-marsall had opted to run a rapid succession of three short penalties, the ball was worked wide to the left for the wing David Rees to squeeze past German Aristide for a try at the corner.

Not only that but Mapletoft, who ran the gamut of kicking despair here last Saturday, proceeded to thump over a confident conversion. It was not too long before Argentina A responded. Cris-tian Viel attacked the try-line at close-range off a scrum and Martin Corry was unable to prevent the No. 8 claiming the try. Jose-Luis Cilley missed the conversion.

holding to terms actually agreed in December. But Ronaldo's agent, Giovanni Branching said final talks, spanning nine hours on Monday and yesterday, had "not been Ronaldo, he added, had been prepared to go to Inter if Barcelona's terms were not acceptable. Ronaldo's new contract waiver is for 43 million. '4' OF COURSE it was pure coincidence that, with the approach of Paul Gas-coigne's 30th birthday, Cathay Pacific should ground its aircraft. The airline's decision was horn of technical rather than tactical prudence.

Yesterday Gascoigne celebrated his one score years and 10 by testing a bruised calf rather than killing the fatted version. The news that the injury he suffered in last Saturday's friendly against South Africa had eased sufficiently for a resumption of training was about the only glad tiding to reach Glenn Hoddle on the fitness front. Tony Adams is out of the squad for this Saturday's World Cup qualifier in Poland and the four-nation tournament in France that starts next week. The Arsenal centre-back's damaged ankle was never likely to heal in time but this will be of little consolation to Hoddle as the England coach contemplates his diminished defensive options. The knee injury Paul Ince received playing for Interna-zionale on Sunday has added to Hoddle's anxieties.

It is hoped that Ince will be able to train today. If not, then the plan to use him and David while Gascoigne paid lip service to this sentiment, he made it sound like an arranged marriage. "I know I've got to start enjoying it," he said. "It got to a point where I was just turning up for games, wanting to get a win for Rangers but really just wanting to get the 90 minutes over with." Asked what had brought on this disillusionment, Gascoigne blamed the press. "Guys like yourselves never gave us a chance," he grumbled.

"I was always getting hammered." Better than being stoned, surely. There was a brief word on family matters, something about photographers hassling his wife and children outside their school. This is the same Paul Gascoigne who underwent counselling last October after accusations of wife-beating. Students of the politically correct may have considered it appropriate that on Saturday he was kicked by an opponent called Linda. Hoddle's stout defence of Gascoigne's present form, and the contribution the player is likely to make should he play against Poland, suggests the England coach is not so much at odds with the critics as looking for considerably less from Gazza '97 than the world witnessed in Italia '90.

Gascoigne, too, is prepared to accept new limitations. "If there are a couple of players in front of me and I think I can take them on and get into the box then I'll do it," he said. "But instead of taking on four players it might be better to split them with a pass. "I have a different way of playing but I want to do what's best for the team, not what's best for Paul Gascoigne. I'm not going to say I'm brilliant, and I'm not going to say I'm crap.

There's a game in Poland on Saturday, there are 22 people in the squad and I'm one of them. If I'm playing, I'm playing. If I ain't, I ain't." Some might see in this refreshing evidence of a new, sensible Gascoigne. But, if his football is going to become orthodox, then surely something precious in his make-up will be lost. Gascoigne cut a sad figure yesterday and even his one joke "I've had me teeth done, so I won't be needing a dentist's chair" I Rugby League Super League: Halifax 26, Bradford 30 Battered Bulls stampede back Batty as a platform for Gascoigne and a barrier against Polish counter-attacks will start to look a little wan.

Some, unconvinced by Gas-coigne's performance against South Africa, feel Hoddle's apparent determination to play him in Chorzow falls into a similar category. Yesterday the England coach's defence of the way Gascoigne played sounded a little desperate. "I don't think Paul had a poor game on Saturday," Hoddle insisted. "Those who said he did just don't know what they are talking about." When people start saying things like that they are usually running out of arguments. Gascoigne was unusually philosophical about it yesterday.

Well, he is getting on after all. "I thought I did all right on Saturday," he said, "but I still got a lot of stick for it. I was too fat or too thin, the same story all over again." A lot of the old bounce was missing. Gascoigne ran through the familiar litany of complaints about the treatment he was receiving from the media, but now he spoke not so much in anger as with an air of weary resignation. Hoddle wants him to fall in love with football again and, pions League place next season if they win their last game at the weekend and Parma lose theirs.

Ince, who is 29, had originally wanted to return to England but two factors have changed his mind: few Premiership clubs showed interest and his performances for Inter have finally won over the previously hostile fans as well as prompting Moratti to pull out the stops to keep him. Chelsea have confirmed their interest in the French international goalkeeper Bernard Lama, currently banned for two months for using cannabis.

The England midfielder spoke with the Inter president Massimo Moratti last weekend and was offered a two-year extension to his contract to June 2000. "I've not given a definite reply to Inter's offer but, if I had to make a prediction, I'd say there is a 70 per cent chance that I will continue my career in Milan," Ince said.

United, First Division promotion play-off losers to Crystal Palace, dropped more than 2 million as shares fell from 65p to46.5p each. Southampton, whose manager Graeme Souness and director of football Lawrie McMenemy resigned on Saturday, slid from lOlp to 88p a share. 4 million down.

The Bulls led Halifax comfortably at Odsal last month but finished clinging to victory by two points.

Last night Halifax, in a superb first-half performance, took up where they had left off. They led 26-6 at the interval and seemed in total control, but Bradford showed the character of genuine champions in the second half. In a 15-minute spell they stood the game on its head, scoring five tries and 24 points in all. Their young Australian coach Matthew Elliott was reluctant to leave w4 Ul clearly ecstatic.
