早上起来,打开BBC体育专栏,头条新闻就是关于切尔西针对加拉的声明:
《Gallas ‘issued own-goal threat’》 -《加拉乌龙球的威胁》
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/ … chelsea/5314292.stm
读后感到脊背凉飕飕的,作为一个英超冠军俱乐部,切尔西这种愚昧无知和自卑的做法真是让人难以置信!而作为一个球迷,不仅为当事球员,也为蓝军那些热爱加拉的球迷们感到寒心!
切尔西俱乐部在那个声明中谴责加拉:
“The issue was purely one of money, …. that he wanted a new challenge….These were just a smokescreen to cover up the fact he was hawking himself to the highest bidder. ”
“这整个事件(加拉离去)都是为了钱,…… 他说他希望新的挑战… 只是用来掩藏他希望得到更多报酬的烟雾弹”“He went on to threaten that if he was forced to play, or if he was disciplined and financially punished for his breach of the rules, that he could score an own goal or get himself sent off, or make deliberate mistakes. “
“他威胁说,如果逼他上场或对他的违反规则进行经济处罚的话,他将踢一个乌龙球,或者故意让自己被罚下,或故意犯错…”
“He also failed to recognise the role Jose Mourinho and Chelsea played in helping him become a double Premiership champion for a player whose only league title prior to that had been in the French Second Division.”
他也无视穆利尼奥和切尔西对他,一个在此之前,只不过是赢过法国乙级联赛的球员,成为一个两次英超冠军的球员的帮助”(翻译到这里真觉得有些恶心!)
加拉对切尔西的声明的反应是:
“I never said that I would score own goals if I had to play for Chelsea again… I was firm about my wanting to leave, that is true, and I will explain in due time why I wanted to…“
“我对这种说法感到震惊!…我从来没有说过,如果必须为切尔西上场的话,我会踢乌龙球 … 离开切尔西,我的确是下定了决心,在适当的时候我会解释为什么会如此…”
见到这个切尔西俱乐部的这个声明后,我想加拉也用不着“在适当的时候”再给大家解释为什么要离开了,绝大多数英超球员和球迷们对他的离开现在已经有了充分的理解!让人震惊的是,一个冠军俱乐部,居然会做出如此低下的举动,难道世界顶级联赛 – 英超已经堕落到如此没有风度(classless )”?
阿森纳从阿内尔卡的离队,到科尔与俱乐部的翻脸,有几位离队时闹腾得够欢,离队后对俱乐部也恶言相向,但从来没有听到过俱乐部发表过什么声明,来攻击离开的球员,倒是每次温格都送上良好的祝愿!
就说曼联,最近和爵爷闹翻的老队长和范尼离去后,或在小贝被一靴子踢到皇马之后,好像也没有听说过俱乐部有什么声明来责怪这几位!
这种做法,降低了英超的品位!
这不由不让人想到阿森纳俱乐部经理兼教练阿森-温格,前天对科尔转会所发表的一席谈话:
《Wenger welcomes new boy Gallas, says farewell to Cole》-《温格欢迎新人加拉,并向科尔道别》
http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?
Manager, Arsène Wenger said: “We welcome William to the Club while saying goodbye to Ashley Cole, a player that has given a lot for us over a number of years….“,
经理温格说:“我们欢迎加拉来到俱乐部,同时向科尔道别,作为一个球员,科尔在他与俱乐部一起的几年中为我们做出了许多…”,“Upon Ashley’s departure I would like to thank him on behalf of the team and everyone connected with the Club for his contribution to our success over recent years, Ashley has always played with his heart for Arsenal. “
“在科尔离开时,我想借此机会代表俱乐部,球队,还有所有与俱乐部有关的人们,为他对我们近几年来取得的成功的贡献,向他表示感谢。他一直是在全心全意地为阿森纳踢球。”
“I remember giving him his debut nearly seven years ago and he grabbed the opportunity. He had a strong desire to succeed and ultimately it was that determination that sees him leave this Club. Ashley has grown up with Arsenal and given time, will hopefully appreciate what the Club has given him. I feel the future is bright for this team and look forward to seeing it challenge for honours.”
“我记得大约7年以前,当我给了他第一个上场的机会时,他马上抓住了时机。他对成功有很强的愿望和决心,也正是因为这种决心,最终使他离开了这个俱乐部。Ashley与俱乐部一起成长,为俱乐部付出了时间,也希望在将来,他也能意识到俱乐部曾经给予他的…”
要知道,教授谈话中的那位科尔,就是违法私会切尔西的那个科尔; 就是因私会而被英足总施与惩罚的那位科尔; 就是在此之后,拒不认错,誓与阿森纳俱乐部对簿公堂到底的那个科尔; 也就是从此以后,对俱乐部管理层怨言不断,并写书立著指责阿森纳对他不仁不义的那个科尔!
教授的一席话,使我几乎忘掉了对科尔的鄙视,作为一个愚忠俱乐部的球迷,对温格代表俱乐部表达出的这种与人为善,甚至觉得有些惊讶!但在今天读了切尔西的声明后,除了对那个英超冠军俱乐部的寒心和鄙视外,心中充满了作为枪手球迷的自豪:为温格和阿森纳俱乐部的风度(class)和自信!
