2009 NME Awards的好哥們

很有趣的組合...
Damon Albarn & Graham Coxon--->Blur

-----

Peter Doherty & Carl Barat--->former Libertines

-----

George W Bush & Barack Obama--->US President

-----
Damon和Graham的組合成了當晚的神秘嘉賓
遽聞是兩人九年來首次合作...
反正今年Blur復出定案,早點演練一番也好...
-----
Pete終於再度和Carl共同現身,
Pete奪得Best Solo Artist後,
Carl先擁抱Pete,
Pete上台後,Carl很夠意思得比大拇指讚賞...
當晚Pete就發難,The Libertines有望重組,
只怕Pete因此就拋棄了Babyshambles戰友了...

ps-1:Pete得獎後訪問(詭異的英國腔)
ps-2:Pete和Blur的Graham(專輯內擔綱吉他手)也已為Pete的side project展開巡迴了...
-----
恭喜Bush獲選為年度惡混(Villain)
沒想到在樂界同樣享有如此盛名...
超高人氣的Barack Obama以些微票距擊敗Noel Gallagher,
成為年度英雄...
不過Noel另外抱回Best Blog(band blogger),
但Noel卻很酷的表示 :'I've never used a computer'...

每日足球quote語

"In relation to what has been published this morning in Corriere della Sera about a possible sale of part of the club, (holding company) Fininvest and AC Milan announce that the news is without foundation."

->" 關於今早刊登於Corriere della Sera的報導,表示(AC Milano)將出售部分股權.Fininvest與米蘭宣布此消息並沒有事實根據".

義大利報紙Corriere della Sera刊頭版,表示阿布達比企業有意買下AC Milano 40%股權.義甲勁旅隨後已否認將出售俱樂部股票給阿布達比企業(Man City老闆).目前老闆則仍是義大利總理+媒體大亨-Silvio Berlusconi (horny)...

foundation:根據、基礎、創辦
-----
"This was a cowardly attack by three men on two women. They are both very shaken and very upset at what happened."

->"這樁三搶匪對上兩位婦女的搶案,實在非常卑劣.發生這種事,她們倆(Darren Fletcher未婚妻與婆婆)渾身顫抖且很沮喪".

Man U中場Darren Fletcher的家,在Fletcher本周去米蘭備戰歐冠之際,遭蒙面歹徒入侵洗劫.遽聞歹徒將刀架在Fletcher未婚妻Hayley Grice喉嚨上.除要求交出訂婚戒指還有其他財產.Fletcher的婆婆同樣遭歹徒架刀於喉嚨上.最後歹徒離去時,帶走珠寶與手表.兩人的雙胞胎小孩當時在屋內睡覺,並未受到傷害.入侵搶劫案Fletcher並非第一位受害者.去年十二月,Blackburn巴拉圭前鋒Roque Santa Cruz也是在離家去比賽時,家被歹徒入侵行搶.地點在Bowdon(南曼徹斯特,Fletcher也居住於此地).遽悉,近兩年半來,住在利物浦與曼徹斯特附近的球員的家,都在球員離家比賽時被行搶或破門盜竊(burglarize),其中利物浦或前利物浦球員最常成為歹徒覬覦的對象,當中也包括Steven Gerrard在內.警方表示已著手調查此案,但並不能確定這些案件是否真的有所關聯.

cowardly:膽小、卑劣的
-----
"Joe Kinnear is still Newcastle United manager and he will continue to be going forward."

->"金尼爾仍是紐卡斯爾的主教練,他也還會繼續帶隊前進".

傳聞Newcastle有意撤換剛做完心臟繞道手術的Kinnear,讓目前Wigan Athletic主教練Steve Bruce入主.球隊管理部經理Derek Llambias已出面否認.他與球隊老闆Mike Ashley都表示,與Kinnear共事非常愉快.Kinnear預計4月11對上Stoke City回到球隊執教.

太嗆了...81st Oscar Awards

首先邀恭喜的不是各位得獎者(當然你們裡應被恭喜!)

要恭喜的是...

Coldplay!!!


"Lover In Japan"和"Viva La Vida"分別出現在2008好萊塢Romance電影和頒給Jerry Lewis的某某人道獎片段中...聽到時,雞皮疙瘩真的都飆起來了...

感謝奧斯卡如此美好的至入性行銷!
-----
今年奧斯卡變革挺大的,
舞台設計頗用心,
尤其嘉賓座位直接拉近至台下,
讓主持人Hugh Jackman能直接優雅的抱起Anne Hathaway,來段精彩的開場舞,
或許Jennifer Aniston在台上頒獎時,也能更清楚看到Mrs.Jolie不確定對誰的那一抹微笑!?

頒藝術類獎項時,
舞台的復古設計感也頗令人激賞...

另外,
以往"演員類"獎項,慣例由女演員頒給男演員、男演員再頒給女演員.
今年則浩大的讓這些獎項由過去五位得獎者一同頒獎...(有如買一張電影票,卻能同時看五場電影的感覺)

Sean Penn 的得獎,
除了發表當晚最政治性、卻也很有自己調調的演說外,
也證明穿滾邊tee無敵!
-----
還有一些好玩的地方...

首先紅地毯記者之一,
竟然有出現大名鼎鼎的Tim Gunn (Project Runway)

Natalie Portman和Ben Stiller上台時,
真懷疑Ben是在調侃Natalie的前男友-獨立樂壇怪傑,有著耶穌look的Devendra Banhart!?

獲最獎動畫短片的日本人Kunio Kato,
每句感謝句都以Thank You開頭,真夠可愛的了...

最佳紀錄片Man on Wire獲獎人下巴頂獎座堪稱當晚一絕... -----
Heath Ledger的得獎,
相信大家都能信服外,這榮耀的時刻也絕對存在他家人以及每位影迷心中一輩子...

每日足球quote語

"If it is primarily for commercial reasons most supporters will be against it. It used to be 10 minutes years ago, then 15. Where will it end?"

->"如果(中場)休息(20分鐘)基本上是為了廣告的理由,多數球迷將會持反對意見.過去休息只有10分鐘,再來就是15分鐘...多長(休息)才會是最終結果?"

FIFA近日考量球員及裁判在中場休息15分鐘,似乎還不夠,而有意將時間延長至20分鐘.雖然看似好意,不過多數人認為這不過是為了"廣告利益"而假好心罷了.據贊助商估計,在英國的比賽,經電視轉播的每"一分鐘"廣告收益已爆增至一百萬英鎊(£1m).
-----
"I won't sing the national anthem because I feel it is wrong to sing another country's anthem. I do get goosebumps when I hear it, though."

->"我不會唱(英國)國歌.因為唱其他國家的國歌,令我感到怪異.當聽到(國歌),我雞皮疙瘩的確都跳起來了."

英格蘭國家隊教練Fabio Capello,近日接受Sky Italia訪問時,除表示在(國家隊)賽前決不唱英國國歌,還更勁爆的說,他聽不懂隊上一些來自北方地區的球員口音.這些球員包括Steven Gerrard、Wayne Rooney、Michael Carrick、Wes Brown、小將James Milner.可能人選還有發燙中的Gabriel Agbonlahor、國家隊回歸老將Emile Heskey.
-----
"We didn't play well today, and Köln deserved the victory. It wasn't just any old Bundesliga fixture for me. I tried my best but I didn't play well. I accept being substituted at half-time. Any of us could have been substituted. It's not been a great afternoon.“

->"我們今天踢得很不好,科隆也的確該拿到這一勝.這場比賽對我來說,並非如過去只是一場聯賽隊陣而已.我試著表現最好的自我,然而我的確表現不佳.我接受在中場時被替換下場.隊中每一人都有可能被替換.這並非是一個美好的下午.

"科隆王子"Podolski下季確定回歸Köln踢球.加入Bayern三個賽季來,使中無法立足先發陣容.德國球迷也多只能在國家隊,看到真正完好狀態的Poldi.而冬歇期後,德甲打完四輪,Bayern已嚐到三場敗績.目前打完21輪,Bayern積38分,排名第四.

每日足球quote語

"We have received a request [from Liverpool] and we will try our best to accommodate it. But we cannot guarantee at this stage that we will be able to."

->"我們接獲了(利物浦)請求,我們會儘全力來通融此事.然而在此階段,我們無法保證能將賽事時間做更改".

歐足聯發言人對於Liverpool為紀念希爾斯堡慘案(Hillsborough disaster)20周年,欲要求(歐足聯),如球隊在歐洲冠軍杯打入八強時,能將第二輪時間做更改,做出了回應.不過紅軍目前首要工作,必須先在16強擊敗Real Madrid.

profile:"Hillsborough Disaster"發生於1989年4月15日.Liverpool於足總杯半決賽遭遇Nottingham Forest(諾丁罕森林).兩軍於Sheffield Wednesday(謝菲爾德星期三) 的體育場Hillsborough開戰.原本已擠滿球迷的體育場,因現場警方稍後再放球迷進入,造成魚貫而入的Liverpool球迷在混亂中有96人喪生.此事件後,英國政府也下令將眾多球場進行改建.

accommodate:通融、調和、使容納
-----

"Chelsea asked me to help out till the end of the season and I have just done it because of the strong links between the Chelsea owner [Roman Abramovich] and the Russian federation. I will help out to the end of the season. I have my work with Russia which I will fulfil."

->"卻爾西希望我幫忙他們直到賽季末,而我會接下此任務,只因卻爾西老闆(阿布拉莫維奇)與俄羅斯聯邦政府有很好的牽繫.我會幫忙直到賽季末.我自己在俄國仍有工作,而我也將履行、完成它".

神奇教頭Guus Hiddink在Luiz Felipe Scolari下課後,扛下卻爾西"暫代"主帥之職位.自己也表示頂多帶隊到本賽季末為止.荷蘭教頭同時也表示,對於聯賽冠軍爭奪,仍然願意試一試(give it a try).

fulfil:履行、執行、滿足

-----

"I'd really like to thank everyone for all their best wishes while I've been in hospital. I had the operation last Friday and since then it's just been a case of taking it easy. The doctors have told me everything has gone well, I feel okay and I hope to be able to go home on Sunday."

->"在醫院的這段期間,我要衷心的感謝所有人給與我的祝福.我在上周五動了個手術,自從手術後...醫生也告訴我一切術後良好. 目前我感覺很好,我也期望能在周日回到家裡".

Newcastle教練Joe Kinnear於本月七號因心臟病發送往醫院.上周這名62歲老教頭也因此動了心臟繞道手術.目前球隊也暫由其助手Chris Hughton帶隊.

it's just been a case of taking it easy:(徵求正解).

不甘寂寞的Pete Doherty

每每見到Pete,時常就是頭頂紳士帽配上Skinny牛仔褲或西裝褲,
再加上不離手的香菸,以及他那似慵懶卻很迷人的調調...

雖然對這位英國痞搖滾客的了解並非太多,
不過和英國超模Kate Mose的一段情,以及與前戰友 Carl Barât的友情恩仇記倒是有多所聽聞...

這位身材瘦扁的傢伙,身旁總是瀰漫著菸灰及不時傳出與毒品掛勾的傳聞,
但不可否認...Pete和目前其他戰友組成的Babyshambles,其音樂有種難以形容的吸引力.
身為英國人,原本就有非常獨特的口音,再加上Pete獨特的唱腔...

鋪陳半天,其實只是要說...
Pete也玩起side project來,
就在今年邁入而立之年(竟然跟我小表弟同天生日,希望他以後也能變rocker...)幾天後,他的debut個人專輯就要發行了!

近日接受NME專訪,Pete也大言不慚的表示,自己人生三大最愛(great loves of life)就是毒品、卡爾和凱特啦!

ps:專輯封面超級中國風,似國畫的筆觸+潑灑顏料而成的裸女圖比Coldplay專輯封面還讚啦!

聽新歌在此->http://www.myspace.com/gracewastelands

Pete近日表演Kilamangiro (acoustic version)

每日足球quote語

"It was the best day of my life because it proved I can play again. It was a special moment to score and very emotional. I had tears in my eyes. I celebrated by kissing my wedding ring because my wife, Andreja, daughter Lorena and family supported me right through it."

->"這是我一生中最棒的一日,因為這證明了我仍然能比賽.進球對我來說是一個特別的時刻且非常激勵人心.眼淚在我眼中打轉,(進球)慶祝時我親吻我的結婚戒指,我老婆Andreja,女兒 Lorena ,和家人支持我度過難關".

槍手克羅埃西亞前鋒Eduardo Da Silva在聯盟杯面對Cardiff City 時獨中兩元.賽後他感性地表達他的回歸.這名出生於巴西的克羅埃西亞國腳,因嚴重斷腿,在缺陣近一年後再度重返賽場.
-----

"During this year's festive season, one club which had suddenly become very rich made various astronomical bids in the transfer market. Of course, there was a tremendous outcry in the football family, people called it outrageous and scandalous.

->"在今年歡樂的賽季裡,一家俱樂部(暗示曼城)變得非常有錢,且在轉會市場上有些非常驚人的開價.當然啦,在足球圈中有非常強大的反彈聲浪,人們稱此舉為無恥和不像話的行為.

Uefa主席Michel Platini ,今日對著歐洲議會發表了一次90分鐘的演說.其中特別提及前些日子Man City欲花大筆鈔票在Kaka轉會費上的問題.未來歐聯也可能做出相關政策上的限制,在球隊間建立一個金錢上的公平競爭( establishing financial fair play).

festive:喜慶、歡樂的

outcry:強烈抗議、吶喊

outrageous:可憎、不道德的、無節制的

scandalous:可恥、丟臉、誹謗性的

-----

"I think they have played into our hands and that the title race now is going to be between ourselves and Liverpool. However, I shall be keeping a wary eye on Aston Villa, who seem to have picked up the baton from Arsenal."

->"我認為他們(卻爾西)的命運已經被我们所掌控,現在聯賽冠軍的爭奪只在利物普與我们之間.然而,我應該提防阿思頓維拉的從後追擊,他们似乎已從阿森納手中拿走(競爭)的權仗.

佛爵爺認為,本季英超奪冠的競爭絆腳石只剩紅軍Liverpool.而他更視Chelsea開除Luiz Felipe Scolari,為退出競爭奪冠行列的一舉.

baton:官杖、權杖

played into our hands :(徵求正解)

每日足球quote語special edition (2/9英超被開除的兩位教頭們)

"The Chelsea board would like to place on record our gratitude for his time as manager. Felipe has brought many positives to the club since he joined and we all feel a sense of sadness that our relationship has ended so soon. Unfortunately, the results and performances of the team appeared to be deteriorating at a key time in the season."

->"對於他(斯科拉里)在執教的這段期間,卻爾西董事會欲表達我們的感激之情.自從加入後,菲利浦為俱樂部帶來許多正面的力量.我們都為這段關係如此早結束感到難過.不幸的是,球隊的表現及結果在賽季中的這段關鍵時刻,是下降、惡化的情況".

昨日英超賽場的一顆震撼彈,Chelsea教練Luiz Felipe Scolari ,僅在位7月就被俱樂部開除(sack).目前暫由助理教練Ray Wilkins帶司其職.

deteriorate:惡化、下降、退化、墮落
-----
"I am grateful for the chance to have worked at Chelsea and in English football. It was a very valuable experience. I am sorry that my time with all of them was not more lasting. I wish Chelsea luck in the three competitions they are involved in,"

->"我很高興能有在英國語卻爾西合作的機會.那是一段非常珍貴的經驗.我為我不能繼續在球隊執教下去感到抱歉.我祝卻爾西能在三線作戰中得到很好的運氣".

Luiz Felipe Scolari 被開除後,發表了簡短聲明.事後媒體當然也很雞婆迅速的開始幫Chelsea尋找繼任人選,那隻魔力鳥當然也在其中.

profile:Big Phil賽季初帶領球隊於各項賽事打出12連不敗的成績(包括英超賽場客場的連勝戰績).球隊開始走背似乎始於可怕的主場Stamford Bridge 86場不敗紀錄於去年被Liverpool終結.與英超另三強的較量戰績更是難看.近期九場英超賽事僅贏下三場,上周巴西人最後一場帶隊於主場,也僅以0-0打平近期變弱虎的Hull City.
-----
"The decision came from the guy at the top,"

決定(開除斯科拉里)來自於一位俱樂部的高層人物".

"This process was started. Eight players left the team at the start of the season and Deco came in.Robinho was also supposed to come in but that didn't happen and others were supposed to follow during the January transfer window. Then the [financial] crisis came along and interrupted this process. Some players got injured and the results were not satisfactory."


"過程如此開始...八位球員在季初離隊,而德科加入了我們.羅比尼奧原本也應該加盟,但這並未成真.另外其他新球員本也該於一月冬季轉會期加盟.之後全球金融風暴降臨阻礙了這過程.部分球員的受傷、球隊戰績也並未達到眾人的要求".

巴西人的經紀人Acaz Fellegger,對於斯可拉里被球隊開除為其抱屈,並暗指整件事情的主事者,即是俄國富商老闆Roman Abramovich.

satisfactory:令人滿意的;符合要求的;良好的
-----
"I am a little bit surprised but results haven't been good. I haven't had a lot of time and I certainly haven't had the financial backing. We've had a few injuries as well and that's tough to take."

->"我對自己被開除的是感到驚訝,但(球隊戰績)結果的確並不好.我並沒有許多的時間,而我顯然未獲得(球隊)經濟上的支援.隊上同樣有幾名受傷球員...這是難以被接受的事實."

就在Luiz Felipe Scolari 被開除前的幾個小時,Pompey軍團教練Tony Adams 同樣遭到了解雇的命運.上週俱樂部仍發表聲明,表示繼續支持這位前英格蘭國腳、阿森納隊長.然而就在昨天突然來了記回馬槍,亞當斯對於自己丟了飯碗,當然深表震驚.

profile:因為去年十月時Redknapp二度叛逃至敵營,Adams臨時接管球隊.然而在聯賽16場僅贏下2場.使球隊從季初中上游滑落到目前只差降級區1分.近期屢屢犯錯的後衛Sylvain Distin,同樣該為球隊戰績負上最大責任.Adams身為英格蘭Euro 96成員之一,同梯的Paul Ince早先於去年底被Blackburn開除.目前仍在掙扎的僅剩執教於Middlesbrough的Gareth Southgate(目前13輪未勝).

Scarlett Johansson的blonde到brunette

上周Scarlett Johansson出席電影"He's Just Not That Into You"首映時,一頭褐色直髮應該嚇到了不少粉絲...

近年來演出,Scarlett也還是多以金髮示人,
到底她是天生blonde或brunette,還真不能說出個所以然來(Mr.Skin認為是blonde.不過這種有色不需用腦的網站論定或許參考就好).
除非陳年舊照被翻出來吧...

如果現在這頭驚駭髮型是她那全地球男人公敵老公Ryan Reynolds想出的話,
到時被休掉也不足惜呀...

現在如果可以打一通電話給Scarlett,
我大概會對她說:"I am just not that into your hair style!"

i missed these old days...

每日足球quote語

"We need to end the distractions, the circus and the zoo. We just received an offer. It was rejected.''

->"我們必須停止被馬戲團和動物園給困惑,我們剛得到一份開價,但被我們拒絕了."

AEG 的chief executive Tim Leiweke表示,無意將Beckham賣給AC Millano.Beckham冬季轉會期租借至義大利後,旋即表示租借期結束後,願意正式轉會到AC Milano.不過母隊 Galaxy 目前似乎無意放行.

distraction:分心、困惑、娛樂、精神錯亂
-----
"He came into the dressing room, on my mother's life, and said 'I need one more yellow card. So I gave him a yellow card and he said, 'No, no, no. On the pitch. It's up to you.' And they go straight through a bloke, to get a yellow card so that they don't have to play over Christmas."

->"他(姓名未被公開)走進休息室,...,並且說到:我需要再一張的黃牌.因此我給了他一張黃牌.接著他說:不不不...到球場上再給我,事情取決於你吧!之後他們直接走過一個傢伙身旁,為了就是拿到黃牌,這樣他們就不需在聖誕節出賽了."

英超裁判 Steve Bennett 爆料給News of the World,表示有球員為了在聖誕節能不出賽(想放假),因而蓄意拿牌,規避上場比賽的責任.然而他並未直接點出是哪幾位球員有此舉動.英超往年每到年末聖誕假期,因沒有其他四大聯賽的冬歇期,因此總會利用此時一周多賽,魔鬼賽程的安排,時常也令球員偶有抱怨.

on my mother's life:(徵求正解),且能連貫上下文.
bloke:小子;傢伙
-----
“I think anyone who plays football will appreciate that this is an attractive opportunity. I see it as a huge chance,“

->"我認為任何踢足球的人,都將會感激如此吸引人的機會.我把它(轉會)視為一個巨大的機會."

德甲球隊Borussia Mönchengladbach 22歲小將Alexander Baumjohann,已確定將於今年夏季自由轉會至德甲巨人Bayern Munich.

每日足球quote語

"I'm delighted to be back. This is a club that's dear to my heart and I've got some great memories from when I was here for six years,"

->"我很高興能回到這裡(熱刺).這俱樂部是我內心所相當珍惜的,在這裡的六年,我曾有許多非常美好的記憶."

Robbie Keance再次重返(加盟)白鹿巷球場,還被老雷任命為球隊隊長.對於在Liverpool的半個賽季,他感嘆道:Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side.(別處的草地並不一定比較綠)...沒記錯應該是有一句成語可以一言以蔽之...
-----
"It was always going to be in Blackburn's hands, not mine, and best for them to deal with the situation. That's how it should be when you sign a contract at a club and make a commitment to do your best every day.

->"這件事(轉會)始終是由布萊克本在掌控著,而不是我自己.這對俱樂部來說也是最好的方法來處理這樣的情況.當你和俱樂部簽署合約,本就應該就要對他們守信及每天都要有100%的表現.

Santa Cruz整個冬季轉會期都吵著要轉會至Man City,最終一切原封不動繼續留在母隊.如今卻突然態度轉變表達出對俱樂部的忠誠,甚至說Blackburn就像家(given me a family )一樣.只能說Big Sam真是治隊有方呀!
-----
"The Sun newspaper has paid substantial damages and has now withdrawn the allegations made against Marco and accept that he did not say anything of a racist nature to Zidane."

->"太陽報已支付了大量賠償金,並且撤回原先對馬可的言論.他們並承認他(馬特拉齊)並沒有說關於席丹任何天生種族上的言論.

06年世界杯決賽驚世駭俗的鐵頭功事件,太陽報當時報導,因 Materazzi 對Zizou說了句"恐怖份子妓女的兒子"(the son of a terrorist whore)",使得Zizou兇性大發而狠撞這名高大的人間凶器.然而賽後Materazzi 控告英國這家八卦小報,認為他們錯誤報導關於他說的話.近日傳聞,兩方已在法院外達成協議,太陽報已支付"六位數"的賠償金,且承認錯誤報導.

damage:賠償金

每日足球quote語

"There was no specific point that I became disillusioned. Over the last six months it has been fizzling out and it's not been enjoyable going into training. I just felt, perhaps selfishly, that I deserved a little bit better than that."

->"此地(紐卡斯爾聯)無明確目標,使我突然覺醒.在過去的六個月當中,結果都是失敗的,且去訓練時也令人感到不那麼自在開心.我只是感覺...或許私心作祟,我認為我應得到更好一些的待遇".

前Newcastle的"沉默愛爾蘭人"門將Given,在冬季轉會去到暴發戶Man City.Given已為喜鵲效力12個賽季,表現一直穩定.今日受訪時,他將砲口對到前俱樂部.根據報導,去年底於主場對Liverpool時輸了個1-5,是壓倒他對喜鵲信心的最後一根稻草.他形容這場失利是他職業生涯的最低點(a low point in my career).

disillusioned:醒悟的;不抱幻想的;幻想破滅的
fizzle:失敗
-----
"I'm looking forward to playing in Seville, it's going to be very special, I've always wanted to play in Spain with England and we are very happy to be facing the champions of Europe. At the Pizjuán we will see at what level we find ourselves."

->"我很期待在塞維利亞打比賽,那將會非常的特別.我一直很想與英格蘭隊去西班牙比賽,而我們也很高興面對這支歐洲之王.在Pizjuán體育館時,我們將找出自己目前的水平在哪."

英格蘭國家隊將在下周友誼賽對戰西班牙.教練Fabio Capello除了先讚賞對手一番外,不免也想測試目前英格蘭的即戰力.目前西班牙在國際賽場上已取得28場不敗紀錄的成就.
-----
"I do not think it was a gamble to sell Robbie. If Fernando Torres is injured we have Dirk Kuyt, Ryan Babel, David Ngog and if we need other players we have good youngsters in the reserves, Dani Pacheco and Krisztian Nemeth. While Yossi Benayoun can play as a second striker. We did not have time to sign a replacement so we have not got a new, big name, but we do have quality."

->"我不認為賣掉羅比基恩是比賭注.如果托雷斯受傷,我們還有庫伊特、巴貝爾、恩格格，而如果我們需要其他的球員,我們預備隊中也有很好的年輕人才,Dani Pacheco和Krisztian Nemeth.另外貝納永也可以扮演第二前鋒的角色.我們沒有時間簽替代人選,所以我們才沒買到新的"重點球員",但我們球隊本身可是有實力的.

Liverpool教練Rafael Benitez,僅半個賽季就對去年夏季花 £20.3m從 Tottenham買來的Robbie Keane失去耐心.趁冬季轉會大門關閉前即將其送回老家(Tottenham).不過他仍隊球隊的鋒線陣容充滿信心.

comment:僅用半個賽季就將小基恩丟棄也稍為誇張了些,畢竟原本所花可不是筆小錢(代表Liverpool共29場進7球).不過西班牙人這樣用過就丟的壞習慣也早有先例,只是使用時間長短的問題.這樣反而令人更壞心腸的想看到賽季結束後Robinho的下場...

每日足球quote語
