Nicklas Bendtner: a perfectly good square peg in a highly unsuitable round hole by GilbertoSilver Gunnerblog http://gunnerblog.com/?p=2815 Nicklas Bendtner has always been a divisive figure at Arsenal. For some fans, he represents a much-needed Plan B: powerfully built and good in the air, he provides an antidote to the tippy-tappy build-up we occasionally over-indulge in; a bulldozer in the box. Nicklas Bendtner 在 Arsenal 的定位很模糊。有的球迷认为他能带来不可或缺的战术B ：强而有力的空霸，带给过度拘泥於地面传导战术的我们另一种截然不同的进攻策略；就 像在禁区里的推土机。 For others, he represents all that’s wrong with this Arsenal side: over-confident and seemingly lazy, his occasional outbursts in the press suggest a young man who would be better served by showing some humility and making the most of his limited ability. 对於另一方的球迷而言，只要他在 Arsenal 里就是个错误：过度自信、看起来有点懒散， 时常地在媒体前表示感受，意味着年轻的他若再稍微谦虚一点、再强化自己有限的能力， 才会受到合理的对待。 The truth is probably somewhere in between. I think those who call Bendtner lazy are making a misjudgment. His bulk means that he’s never going to scamper about the pitch like a more sprightly player. However, he does get through a shift, especially when asked to play wide. Not many centre-forwards would chase back to support a full-back as often as Bendtner does. 实际上的答案可能就在两者之间。我认为声称 Bendtner 懒散的人太过武断了。高大的体 格就意味着，他不可能在球场上活跃地奔跑而成为轻盈快速的球员。然而，他还是能做出 跑动，特别是在边锋的位置时。没有一个球员像 Bendtner 一样，要这麽频繁地回防来协 助後卫群。 When played through the middle, his ‘laziness’ is a misdiagnosis of something we rarely see at Arsenal: a desire to remain a focal point of the attack in and around the box. 只要过了中场，说他“懒散”绝对是严重的误判，因为我们能在他身上看到的是：渴望 在禁区内外带来进攻的威胁。 We have, of course, already stumbled upon the principle problem with Bendtner: his deployment in the wide positions, to which he is plainly unsuited. In fact, it’s one of the main reasons that the big man could be on the move this summer. Speaking to Danish TV station TV2, he said: 当然，我们无意中都能发现 Bendtner 的问题症结所在：把他放在两翼，完全格格不入。 事实上，这也是主要的理由使得这名高中锋今夏可能离去。他接受丹麦电视台 TV2 访问 “I need to have a talk with him [Wenger] because I’m not satisfied with playing on the right wing, which I’ve done more or less all season long. 『我必须和 教授 讨论一下，因为我不太满意被安排在右边锋的位置，就如过去或多或少 被安排必须如此。』 I’m concentrating on getting our Champions League place and then we’ll do the evaluation at the end of the season. 『我目前要专心地拼欧冠资格，之後到赛季末才会开始会谈。』 It’s certainly not the best thing for me but it’s not up to me and sometimes you have to adapt to what the manager says.” 『这确实非我所擅长的但也轮不到我来决定，而且你得听命於 教练 的指示。』 It’s unclear as to why Arsene chooses to play Bendtner wide. It doesn’t seem to be part of a developmental plan, as with Theo Walcott. Arsene is still insistent Theo will end up as a striker, and that playing on the wing is in part a ploy to teach him aspects of the game which will benefit him when he emerges from his right-flank cocoon as a serviceable centre-forward. 就连为什麽 教授 要把 Bendtner 放在边锋也同样令人困惑。看起来不像是有计划性的策 略，如同在 Theo Walcott 身上一样。教授 仍坚持 Theo 会成为射手球员，而安排他在 边锋是为使他能掌握比赛的全貌而逐渐成长，且能从隐蔽的右边锋位置突然变成带来致命 一击的前锋球员。 Bendtner, however, is a pure box player. He doesn’t have the pace to beat a man. He doesn’t have the skill to outfox a defender. What he does have is the power and presence to make a nuisance of himself and get on the end of crosses. That is his game. Relative to the rest of the squad, he lacks finesse. He is, whatever he may think, more Andy Carroll than Zlatan Ibrahimovic. 然而，Bendtner 只是个纯禁区前锋。他没有速度的优势，也没有华丽的脚法来戏耍後卫。 他所有的是力量、带给後卫压迫感、以及接应传中球。这才是他的优势。和队友们相比， 他没有什麽技巧来对付敌人。无论他认为自己是什麽角色，他更像是 Andy Carroll 而非 Zlatan Ibraimovic。 That’s not to say he lacks ability. I’m always surprised that Bendtner is considered a bit of a joke by so many fans both within and outside the club. Perhaps that’s due to a couple of high profile misses, but his goalscoring record generally speaks for itself. Even this season, when he has struggled for form and fitness, he is a goal away from double figures. And that’s having made just 14 starts. 我不是要批评他缺少能力。我只是很讶异，无论是枪迷也好，足球迷也好，大部分都认为 他是个笑话。也许是因为倍受注目的失误之故，但他还是用进球的事实来证明自己。即使 是努力复健才回到状态的本季，他仍有 9球的进帐。记住，他才先发 14场而已。 So why does he find himself continually out of position? Simple: there are better players ahead of him. Many scoffed when Arsene identified Robin van Persie as the man to fill the lone striker role, but he has shown he has the ability to be devastatingly effective in that position. Crucially, he also has the immaculate first touch required to bring other players in to the game. Bendtner doesn’t, and our passing game can occasionally break down when he is employed as the focal point of the attack. 那麽，为什麽他不在正确的位置上呢？很简单：有太多比他好的球员可以选。有人讥笑地 说，教授 盲目地认为只有 Robin van Persie 才能放在单前锋的位置，但 RVP 却有效率 地展现自己的得分能力。更残酷的是，RVP 还有着超群的射门脚感。Bendtner 没有，且 进攻传球时，常常在他负责最关键一脚的时候就浪费掉了。 Essentially, he’s a square peg in a round hole. He’s a centre-forward in a team who doesn’t really cross the ball. And when they do cross it, it’s the 6’3” Bendtner doing the crossing. Deploying him on the flank might make sense if we were to launch raking cross-field passes on to his head. But that just isn’t our game. 基本上来说，他在阵容里就是被牺牲的一环。他立身於一个不常禁区传中的球队里，扮演 着高中锋的角色。即使真的有禁区传中球，也只有 6尺3寸 的 Bendtner 一个人能争顶。 若是我们经常 45度斜向传中球给他，在边锋位置的他才会有意义。但那不是我们的风格。 （暗示大本根本不该浪费在边锋位置，而是该好好地在禁区接球） For his own sake, it may well be time to move on. For Arsenal too, it makes sense. At 23, Bendtner is still a promising international striker who could command a decent fee. With Marouane Chamakh now in the squad, we have another striker who can be a threat in the air. We might be better off replacing Bendtner with a pacy forward who can run the channels - and, if really necessary, play wide. 就他自己的理由来说，或许是时候求去(离开)了。对 Arsenal 也是如此。23岁的Bendtner 依然是个有潜力的国家队球员，也能争取体面的转会费。由於 Marouane Chamakh 已加盟 ，我们也有了一名空霸球员。我们或许会更满意於，用 Bendtner 来换取擅长跑动的前锋 ，若是真的有需要，并要求新球员能大范围地移动。 Bendtner says if he could choose where to go it’d be Barcelona. I’d like to play for them too, mate, but it doesn’t make it any more likely to happen. If he wants to fulfill his potential - and, if you listen to him, he’s got plenty of it - he needs to go to a club where he’ll play regularly. I can see him doing well in the Bundesliga, or at a mid-level Premier League club like Newcastle, who certainly need a new number nine. Bendtner 说若能选择加盟的球队，他会选择 Barca。傻孩子，我也想和他们踢球阿，但 那是不可能发生的。若想要发展他的潜力－若你有仔细听他说，他已经听过太多遍了－他 必须选择能让他经常上场的球队。我能想像他在德甲有所表现，或者在英超的中游球队如 ：Newcastle，一个亟需新No.9 的球队。(因为Carroll离开) Bendtner has the kind of personality that will enjoy proving his critics wrong, and I don’t doubt he’s capable of it. Just perhaps not at Arsenal. And certainly not on the wing. Bendtner 有着喜欢证实批评是错误的特质，我不怀疑他的本事。只是不会发生在Arsenal ，更不会在边锋的位置证实自己。 ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ 坚持 4-3-3，大本 势必被牺牲... 但在一切都还不确定前(能否保住前三还是未知数)， 也不太可能见到新的战术策略，像是双前锋。 转会消息实在扰人，可我们也很清楚 大本 目前的定位很模糊。 专心保住英超前三才是重点！！！(不然第四要踢欧冠资格赛太费力了) Goal! Goal! Arsenal! We r the Champions ! --
