http://tinyurl.com/648rrkc Bendtner's self confidence is off the scale Published 23:00 04/02/11 By John Cross Nicklas Bendtner goes to Newcastle today full of belief - after it was revealed his self confidence is literally off the scale. Bendtner had Arsenal assistant boss Pat Rice in stitches as he even shocked a sports shrink during a psychology test on self-perceived competence. French psychologist Jacques Crevoisier, a trusted expert who regularly works with Arsenal’s players, carried out a series of psychometric tests to see if their brain power matched their football ability. Bendtner, who has claimed he will become one of the best strikers in the world within five years, showed self belief that Crevoisier had never seen in previous players he has worked with like Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka and David Trezeguet. Crevoisier, in an interview with Swedish magazine Offside, said: “One of the categories is called ‘self perceived competence,’ i.e. how good the player himself thinks he is. On a scale up to 9, Bendtner got 10! “We have never seen that before. Pat Rice was sitting next to me and couldn’ t stop laughing. “When Bendtner misses a chance, he is always genuinely convinced that it wasn ’t his fault. You might say that’s a problem, and to a certain degree it can be. “But you can also view it as this guy has an remarkably ability to come back after setbacks.” Crevoisier has devised a series of up to 117 questions to analyse self belief, concentration levels and determination. Arsene Wenger has known his fellow Frenchman for 40 years and Crevoisier - who specialises in working with young French players at the country’s Clairefontaine academy - has worked at Arsenal to help their youngsters. It is designed to ensure that Arsenal boss Wenger’s players have the confidence to match their ability and, in Bendtner’s case, that is something that is clearly not lacking. Denmark striker Bendtner claimed earlier this season that, when fully fit, he should always be in the Arsenal starting line-up and he was getting fed-up of being left on the bench. Now it is clear that Bendtner will never lose that self-confidence even when he is battling with Robin van Persie and Marouane Chamakh for a place in the Arsenal team. Bendtner has been in good form recently but has divided opinions in the past among Arsenal fans after missing big chances during games. But Bendtner clearly feels it is not his fault when things do not go well, according to Crevoisier who wants to expand his work in the Premier League. Wenger has also used power point messages in team meetings before games, focusing on “team relationships, dynamics and strong and united” players. Crevoisier has said in the past that some English players sometimes lack mental strength compared to their French counterparts. But there is no doubting Bendtner’s belief. Meanwhile, Bendtner’s strike partner van Persie also does not lack belief in Arsenal’s ability to win the Premier League title this season after insisting leaders Manchester United will drop points. The Gunners go to St James’s Park five points behind United but they are in good form and van Persie also says he is coming back to his best after injury curtailed his start to the campaign. Van Persie said: “It is vital to just keep looking at yourself. We all know United’s schedule, we know Chelsea’s schedule, but the main thing is to just look at our own. “We have got a tough opponent now at Newcastle away, and so we only need to look at that. “I am confident Manchester United will drop points, 100 per cent, because they have big games coming up - they have their own derby, they have games against Chelsea, other big games, so we will see what is going to happen. “We just have to stick to ourselves and I am confident we can fight until the end. “I am feeling really happy and healthy in myself at the moment. “I was right to take things quite carefully when I first came back - you have to keep in mind that I was basically injured for an entire calendar year, except for the summer. “I’d had two big ankle injuries in the space of 12 months and needed some time to get properly fit. “That is why the boss, the medical team and I chose to do things more slowly, step by step, and I think it has paid off in the end. “Since the Chelsea game things have really kicked on - I have become stronger in every game and every training session. Sometimes it is good to start cautiously and that was definitely the case for me.” http://tinyurl.com/5v4kowk ［阿森纳中国网 www.arsenal.com.cn］ 【镜报】本特纳信心爆棚吓坏心理师 2011.2.4 今天本特纳满怀信心奔赴纽卡斯尔，之前有人透露他的信心指数爆缸了。 就连阿森纳的助理教练帕特-莱斯也禁不住捧腹大笑，因为他也对本特纳的自感力测试结 果感到震惊。 法国心理学家Jacques Crevoisier是个信誉很好的专家，他长期协助阿森纳球员工作，用 一系列综合心理测试题考察他们的精神力是否与足球方面的能力匹配。 本特纳声称自己在5年内会成为全世界最好的前锋，他所展示的自信力前无古人，就连测 试过亨利，阿内尔卡和特雷泽盖的Crevoisier也前所未见。 Crevoisier在接受一家瑞典杂志《越位》的采访时说：「这组测试中有一项称为『自感力 』，反映球员对自己能力的评价。这项测试的满分是9分，而本特纳得到了10分！」 「我们之前从未见过这样的结果，坐在我旁边的帕特-莱斯忍不住笑翻。 「当本特纳错过一次机会，他总是自动认为那不是他的错，你也许会说这是个问题，从某 种程度上也许是。 「但是你也可以从这个角度看问题：这家伙受到挫折後有非凡的自癒能力。」 Crevoisier设计了一套117问的测试题，来分析球员的自信心、注意集中力和决断力。 温格结识他的法国老乡有40年了，Crevoisier作为专家在法国青训基地克拉枫丹为法国年 轻球员工作，现在他也协助阿森纳年轻球员。 这套题是为了帮助阿森纳教练温格测试他的球员是否有信心实现他们的竞技能力。当然， 在本特纳这个案例里，显然丝毫不缺信心。 本赛季较早的时候，丹麦前锋声称，当他达到最佳状态时，他应该始终是阿森纳首发球员 ，对於被放在板凳上感到厌倦。 现在看起来很清楚，本特纳从不会失去信心，哪怕是在阿森纳跟范佩西和沙马赫这样的球 员竞争位置。 本特纳近来状态不错，但是对於他在比赛中错失机会的看法，阿森纳球迷中存在很大分歧 。 Crevoisier看来，当本特纳遇到不顺时，他显然不认为自己有问题。Crevoisier打算在英 超联赛拓展他的工作。 温格有时也在球队的赛前准备会上用电脑幻灯传递信息。他主要着重於球员的「团队协作 ，动力，坚强和团结」 Crevoisier还说，跟他的法国同胞相比，过去英格兰球员有时缺乏坚强的意志。当然，本 特纳的自信力毫无问题。 同时，本特纳的锋线搭档范佩西对於阿森纳本赛季夺得联赛冠军的能力也同样不缺信心， 他坚持认为领跑的曼联会丢分。 --
