祖爾巴頓自傳:搵艾拿戴斯教英格蘭?不如搵我教啦。

離開咗英超一排嘅麻煩友祖爾巴頓最近新聞多多,首先因為紀律問題被格拉斯哥流浪停賽三周,跟住又懷疑因為賭波俾蘇格蘭足總調查。但係佢嘅心情似乎冇被呢啲負面新聞影響(佢應該習以為常...),仲襯住呢個忽然假期推出咗佢本斷斷續續寫咗四年嘅自傳"No Nonsense",俾個機會大家一窺呢個堪稱球壇中壞孩子嘅表表者嘅心路歷程咁話喎。

一向口沒遮攔自信爆棚嘅佢講到明佢嘅性格就係 'If someone is looking for conflict I won’t shy away from it - ever’,一於睇下書入面有咩出位內容:

"Sam Allardyce is England manager. Well, am I a better player than Sam?," he was quoted as asking in the Daily Mail. "Well, yeah, of course. Do I believe, if Sam can get to be England manager then I can? Of course I do. What's Sam got that I haven't got?"
其實佢當年鶴臣上任嘅時候佢都講過類似嘅說話,仲試過自薦添。會唔會有一日真係見到佢做英格蘭領隊?

"Mark Hughes is a terrible manager. Stoke are bottom of the league. I thought his people skills were really, really poor."
咁嘅評價好刻薄但係至少佢肯誠實,由QPR到而家史篤城,曉士似乎都冇辦法好好管理一班大牌球員,幫唔到佢哋發揮實力。

"To be brutally honest, too many of the players in England's so called golden generation had character flaws... They actually formed the 'me' generation."
雖然佢只係為國家隊後備上陣過1場咁多,但係佢對於所謂黃金一代嘅評價都唔係無道理嘅,好多人都覺得黃金一代自視過高係佢哋大賽失敗嘅主因。

"Xabi and I had history. He blamed me for knocking him out in what he thought was a deliberate clash of heads in one of our earliest contests, and I blamed him for stealing my move to Liverpool," he writes.
"[In 2009] Thirteen minutes remained. Liverpool were two up, cruising and playing keep ball. The Kop conducted an incessant, infuriating chant of 'Ole, ole, ole!'
"Xabi retained the ball near the corner flag fractionally longer than was prudent. That gave me the opportunity to fly in, and disguise my malicious intent as best as I could. Alonso milked the moment with a barrel roll. I expected a yellow and was shown a red."
當年嘅利物浦領隊侯利亞睇中咗巴頓做謝拉特嘅拍檔,連合約條款都傾好晒。點知管理層突然搵咗賓尼迪斯嚟教,仲買咗一個啱啱出道踢波風格完全唔同嘅西班牙仔嚟取代咗巴頓本來嘅位置。
懷恨在心嘅佢喺球場上遇到呢個叫做沙比阿朗素嘅新人嘅時候,就非常好客咁送咗一份正宗英式見面禮畀佢。

“You can’t be honest in football. Honesty is seen as weakness because of the fickle, showbiz nature of the industry. Whether it’s to do with mental illness or just being human the thinking is: ‘You’re a footballer – how can you be sad or vulnerable? You’re on X thousand pounds a week. How dare you feel like a human being?’”
的而且確而家嘅球壇已經俾金錢主導,好多價值包括謙虛忠誠都已經被扭曲或者不被重視。有好多年輕球員都因為一夜成名而迷失方向,喺一球好波就捧上天嘅英格蘭球壇尤其嚴重。有唔少人要受過沉重教訓先識生性,更加有人沉迷聲色犬馬就一去不返。


巴頓絕對唔係足球員嘅模範,甚至可以話係反面教材,但係佢忠於自己同埋敢怒敢言嘅性格確實令佢鶴立雞群。咁有個性同話題性嘅球員而家已經買少見少,唔知仲有冇機會喺英超見返巴頓呢?
