名將大混戰 - 一眾球星認為的最強對手

各位讀者好！在本篇文章，筆者將輕鬆分享一眾世界級球星心目中的最強對手，各位慢用！

基斯坦奴朗拿度：艾殊利高爾

引用Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed the toughest opponent he has ever faced is former Arsenal and Chelsea defender Ashley Cole.
http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11835/10634043/cristiano-ronaldo-reveals-ashley-cole-is-the-toughest-opponent-he-has-ever-faced

簡評：相信大家一直都知道這個答案並非美斯。在英超成名的C朗早年面對艾殊利高爾時，每次都被限制得舉步為艱。這亦是C朗心目中多年不變的最難對付的對手。

杜奧巴：里奧費迪南、尼曼查維迪、佩奧爾

引用Didier Drogba says Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Carles Puyol are the three toughest defenders he has faced during his career.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/english-football/2015/07/06/13337612/drogba-reveals-the-toughest-defenders-he-faced-at-chelsea

簡評：杜奧巴與三個球員的前兩者在英超交鋒多年，場上力量、技術的較勁十分精彩，球迷也欣賞得不亦樂乎。而杜奧巴與佩奧爾在歐聯的對決亦十分具看頭，只可惜當時兩軍交鋒未能以美好的句點結束賽事。

美斯：洛賓、列貝利、基斯坦奴朗拿度

引用“I’ve faced Neymar, Iniesta and Xavi, and they are very tough. And of course there is Cristiano, Robben and Ribery. But I can’t pick one.”
http://host09.soccerladuma.net/news/articles/Category/messi-ronaldo-neymar-watch-1/lionel-messi-names-three-players-he-hates-facing/211129

簡評：筆者網上research一番亦未能找到美斯所指的最難應付的防守球員。倒是找到了同位置功能的球員：除了三位球會隊友外，還包括了與美斯對戰過的洛賓、列貝利及其命中注定的終生對手 - 基斯坦奴朗拿度。
蘇亞雷斯：拉莫斯、堤亞高施華、高甸

引用Luis Suarez has named Sergio Ramos, Thiago Silva and Diego Godin as the three toughest defenders he has ever faced.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/13712/extra-time/2016/03/29/21808382/suarez-names-the-three-toughest-defenders-he-has-faced

簡評：必屬現役最強前鋒前三位的蘇亞雷斯認為，西甲老對手皇馬中堅拉莫斯、南美洲老對手巴西中堅施華以及國家隊隊友、馬德會的高甸都是他面對過最難應付的防守球員。

阿古路：拉莫斯、泰利、卡斯拿斯

引用

“The most difficult I’ve faced would be (Sergio) Ramos, another one would be (John) Terry, and I can also name a goalkeeper, (Iker) Casillas.”
http://www.football365.com/news/man-city-star-aguero-names-his-toughest-opponents

簡評：阿古路曾效馬體會，與拉莫斯亦多次交手。轉戰英超後，亦面對過泰利的挑戰。較特別的是他也指出了一位門將。

佩奧爾：阿古路、洛賓、杜奧巴(只列前鋒)

引用Arjen Robben would give top defenders nightmares. He still does, for that matter.....He played against Puyol on multiple occasions with Atletico Madrid and clearly made an impression on the Spaniard.....Few centre-backs enjoyed playing against Didier Drogba - and Puyol was no exception.
http://www.givemesport.com/916184-carles-puyol-names-an-xi-of-the-toughest-players-he-faced-during-his-career

簡評：佩奧爾在訪問中選出了他面對過最強的11人陣容。筆者在此只列該陣的三名前鋒。三人都是那種能令佩奧爾搞上大麻煩的球員。而C朗拿度、賓施馬、或是曾將佩老大完美ankle-break的迪馬利亞都未列入陣容裡。
尼曼查馬迪：咸錫、美斯

引用Instead he names Napoli star Marek Hamsik as the best opponent he has come up against, along with, of course, the irrepressible Lionel Messi.
http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2014/04/11/chelseas-matic-marek-hamsik-is-the-toughest-ive-played-against-l/

簡評：馬迪曾在2016歐國盃與咸錫對陣。他認咸錫絕對是世界上其中一個被低估的中場球員。

拉舒福特：哥斯尼

引用However, despite his goalscoring heroics against the Gunners, Rashford has named Koscielny as his most difficult opponent.

簡評：曼聯、英格蘭新星拉舒福特正是在曼聯對戰阿仙奴時射入兩球而「起朵」。雖然如此，他亦直言阿仙奴中堅哥斯尼非常難對付。

比比：迪亞高哥斯達

引用Pepe has named Chelsea striker Diego Costa as the toughest opponent he has ever faced.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/13712/extra-time/2016/04/30/22962442/he-loves-battles-pepe-reveals-toughest-opponent

簡評：哥斯達與比比曾在西甲火拚過，當時兩人都是很容易就能領紅牌的球員。現在兩人都已收斂不少。

傑斯(已退役)：辛尼迪(已退役)

引用Ryan Giggs reveals the most difficult defender he ever faced was Inter full-back Javier Zanetti. “He had everything!”

http://www.football-italia.net/93290/giggs-zanetti-toughest-opponent

簡評：兩人現在都分別是以前所效的球會的傳奇名宿，當時他們的正面交鋒確是十分精彩。

法卡奧：拉莫斯

引用Radamel Falcao names Sergio Ramos his toughest opponent
http://www.givemesport.com/757465-radamel-falcao-names-sergio-ramos-his-toughest-opponent

簡評：兩人近年甚少有機會交鋒。而法卡奧效力馬體會時，兩人就甚多於國內聯賽或盃賽碰頭。當時法卡奧處生涯頂峰，與拉莫斯的對戰亦十分重量級。

尼馬：拉莫斯、馬斯查蘭奴、碧基、堤亞高施華

引用Neymar described Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos as ‘a great defender’ when he picked four of the toughest opponents he’s ever faced...‘Mascherano, Pique, Thiago Silva, Sergio Ramos – he’s a great centre-back. There’s a lot.’
http://metro.co.uk/2015/08/14/barcelona-star-neymar-reveals-toughest-defenders-hes-ever-played-against-5342380/

簡評：尼馬若要成為真正的球皇，這四人將是他分別於西甲、南美洲賽、國際賽以及歐聯四項賽事中，需要用盡全力突破的防守球員。

碧基：杜奧巴、基斯坦奴朗拿度、利雲度夫斯基

引用One of them was Drogba - one of the best strikers I have seen. He had everything. Pace, really strong, good in the air - he was amazing.
The other one was Cristiano Ronaldo. I had to face him a lot of times and he's one of the best players in history. He's really complete, he knows how to score, assist, shoot free-kicks, penalties. He can do everything.
Lewandowski is another. He's tall, can use both legs. It's really hard to mark this kind of player. You don't know what they will do.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2626678-gerard-pique-names-cristiano-ronaldo-among-his-top-3-toughest-opponents

簡評：也算是世上一位頂尖防守者的碧基，每每面對這三人時卻總是醜態百出。

泰利：亨利Thierry Henry(已退役)

引用John Terry has crowned an Arsenal legend his toughest-ever opponent, saying Thierry Henry is the greatest player he’s even played against.
http://www.talkingbaws.com/2016/05/john-terry-reveals-his-all-time-toughest-opponents-and-greatest-team-mates/

簡評：03-05年左右是兩人的巔峰對決。加上倫敦打呲的因素，令此對組合碰頭時更能成為球迷的焦點。

哥斯尼：阿古路、蘇亞雷斯、杜奧巴

引用Koscielny: Aguero, Suarez & Drogba are my toughest ever opponents
http://www.squawka.com/news/laurent-koscielny-reveals-the-three-toughest-strikers-he-has-faced/523656

簡評：哥斯尼加盟阿仙奴初期並不足以擔大旗。現在他已是球隊後防最重要的一員。面對上述三人，相信即使哥斯尼出盡百分百的技術，都未必足以好好防住他們。

尼曼查維迪：杜奧巴

引用Nemanja Vidic insists that Fernando Torres is not the toughest striker he has ever faced - despite causing him countless nightmares.
The Manchester United legend says that former Chelsea front man Didier Drogba provided the biggest battle he has come up against.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/manchester-united-legend-nemanja-vidic-8560828

簡評：前曼聯鐵血隊長維迪認為，雖然托利斯經常令自己出醜，但杜奧巴比托利斯更難應付。
