Circumstance has meant that the person who we most often take for granted, the person who has to stand silently, unnoticed for three quarters of an hour before suddenly being expected to switch on lightning reflexes, has been shoved to the forefront of our attention, and with this newfound attention comes open criticism. 本赛季初的赛况，让我们明白了一些东西，那就是，门将的真正价值。门将是球场上 最容易被人遗忘的角色，在比赛的大部分时间里，他们都默默的站着，不被人注意。 但对他们的关注也会突然的到来，这时，他们会被推上风口浪尖，人人都指望着他们 以快如闪电的反应速度和敏捷的动作，力保球门不失。不幸的是，在被关注的同时， 批评也会接踵而至。 As Mark Lawrenson analysed of Carlo Cudicini: “He's a great shot-stopper, but he's indecisive coming off his line.” Then again, if the last time you'd claimed a cross you were unconscious before reaching the ground you too might think twice. 就如同 Mark Lawrenson 对库迪奇尼的评价：“他扑球做得很不错，但是他在选择是 否出击时总是犹豫不决。”同样，作为门将，在你说出“对这个进球我无能为力，我 根本不可能作出反应”之前，你得仔细的考虑清楚。 Times are tricky in the Chelsea goalkeeping camp and there has been a lot of speculation on how to regain last season's impenetrable defence, on what the FA plans to do to protect keepers and on what Jens Lehman has to say on the subject. Yet I fear such questions skirt about the real issue, the burning curiosity that has been uncovered by these events, within which may well lie the answer to all the above speculation… What sort of a man decides he wants to become a goalkeeper? 当我们的两位门将在同一场比赛倒下後，有很多的问题值得思考。我们如何才能恢复 上赛季的钢铁防线？英足总打算采取什麽措施来更好的保护门将？莱曼针对这件事的 表态意味着什麽？这些都是问题。虽然我认为过多的问题可能会掩盖真正的议题，但 我强烈的好奇心被这些问题激发得燃烧了起来，我认为，如果能够找到一个关键问题 的答案，那麽上面这一系列的问题就会被统统解决掉。这个关键问题就是：什麽样的 人才会决定让自己成为一名门将？ When we were at school the goalkeeper was always the one who arrived late, the least fit and the worst outfield player. I know this because more often than not this was me. My redemption however came in the fact that I turned out to be the worst goalkeeper in known history, and so was swiftly placed in attack, where I could do least damage. 当我还是学生时，我们球队的门将总是来得最晚、状态最糟、表现最差的球员。我最 有权作出这样的评价，因为这个门将就是我。我这麽做的“回报”就是，我成为了史 上最差的门将。因此，我很快就被“重新分配”，改打前锋了，因为在这个位置上， 我带给球队的“危害”才最小。 It is a role I still fulfil today, hanging around, scratching occasionally and generally not tackling, basically like Chris Sutton. But the question remains: who actually wants to become a goalkeeper? In order to get to the bottom of this I've tried to investigate the various merits and demerits of the goalkeeping trade and (naturally) I've imagined what Jens Lehman might have to offer on the subject. 直到现在我还会担任门将，在场上晃来晃去，偶尔抓抓痒，而且都不用铲球，跟赔钱 货萨顿很像，但我还是搞不懂，为什麽有人想当门将？为了得到解答，我调查了各种 门将的问题，并且想像莱曼会怎麽看这个议题。 Is it all that dangerous? Well let's look at the 2006 casualty list: Petr Cech (skull fracture), Carlo Cudicini (concussion), Shay Given (bowel surgery), Kris Kirkland (all-over-body-pain), Paddy Kenny (eyebrow bitten off) (in a curry house car-park) (doesn't say much for the curries). The list of injuries would suggest danger; but then sport is dangerous, sport is physical and accidents can happen. 做门将真的很危险吗？ 好吧，让我们来看看2006年门将们的伤病名单吧：切赫（头骨骨折），库迪奇尼（脑 震荡），吉文（肠穿孔），柯克兰（遍体鳞伤），肯尼（眼眉被咬掉）（在一家咖哩 店的停车场）（但与咖哩粉全无关系）（注：传闻肯尼因捉奸，跟情敌大打出手，致 使眼角受伤）。伤停的名单说明了做门将的危险性，运动本身就是危险的，运动需要 身体对抗，因此有时会发生意外。 I admit, goalkeepers probably get it worse than most since a player bearing down on goal will know he's got only one left to beat and will try that little bit harder than on other parts of the pitch, 60-40 balls become 50-50 in the forward's eye, so accidents happen. But because of this goalkeepers are generally given the benefit of the doubt and any malice towards them is punished unequivocally. In Lehman's terms: “Hey! you don't 'ave to watch David Addenborough every day to know life's dangerous.” 但我们必须承认，门将所受的威胁要更大些，因为当一个球员直接面对门将时，他会 很清楚，这是他最後一击的机会。因此他们会更加的卖力，即使他们不可能碰到球， 他们也要试一试。於是，事故发生了。也正因为如此，裁判的判罚往往会给予门将最 大限度的保护，任何对门将的恶意冲撞都会被严厉的惩治。用莱曼的话来说：“嘿！ 生活是充满危险的，你不用天天收看 David Addenborough 也能知道这一点。” Does a goalkeeper get unduly criticised? Ask Paul Robinson. Christiano Ronaldo misses an open goal from two yards yet gets barely a mention in the papers. Paul Robinson falls foul to a freakish divot when England are already losing and who takes every single headline? Well 'imaginatively' Simon and Garfunkel with their hit 'misses Robinson' but the point is, as a keeper a single mistake is unforgivable. And it's the only position where that's always the case. In Lehman's terms: “Hey! You're the last line of defence. If you go down, the ship goes down. Of course you're cridicised.” 门将总是要承受过分的指责吗？ 问问保罗˙罗宾森就知道了。小小罗在门前两码处射空门不进，报纸上连提都没提。 罗宾森在英格兰已经落後的情况下，被一块小小的草皮愚弄，而他这个失误却占满了 各家报刊的头条。罗宾森的失误被大加渲染，原因何在？因为门将的每个失误都是不 可饶恕的。门将，是全队中唯一一个不能犯错的人。用莱曼的话来说：“嘿！你是全 队的最後一道防线。如果你倒下了，整艘战舰就沉没了。所以你当然是受批评最多的 那一个。” Does a goalkeeper get enough praise? Herein lies goalkeeping's sole attractive feature: A goalkeeper's time in the sun is when a team is under the cosh. How often have you heard managers saying, we could have won six or seven nil? And how often does that happen? Goalkeepers relish a training ground feel, when they’re on their toes, saving shots left, right and centre. Under such circumstances even a draw makes them man of the match. Lose seven nil and it's never the keeper's fault. In Lehman's terms: “Hey! We're here to stop goals, that's what we do.” 门将能够得到足够的赞誉吗？ 门将的一个独特的、引人注目的特点就是：当门将大放异彩时，他的球队一定正处在 风雨飘摇中。我们曾经无数次的听到教练说“我们本可以赢六、七个球”，但是，这 样的大比分出现过几次？门将们在场上飞身救险，他们左扑右挡，警觉的把球拒之门 外。在这种情况下，即使最终球队仅以平局收场，门将也该成为比赛中的最佳球员。 就算是输了个7比0，也并不仅仅是门将的责任。用莱曼的话来说：“嘿！我们是来守 门的，这就是我们该做的。” Is it fun? Whenever you look at a photograph of a goalkeeper where he's not arched backwards pulling off some fantastic save, he'll without exception be bellowing at his team mates. So unless throwing tantrums, getting beaten up, blamed and mocked by song titles is your thing, where's the fun? Well, there are penalties, for one thing. Those are the goalkeeper's oldest ally: if it goes in, ah well; if you save it, open the champagne. That's all there is to it. 做门将有趣吗？ 看看门将的照片吧。在照片中，他们要麽在进行一个高难度的精彩扑救，要麽在向队 友大声吼叫。看看吧，除了发泄怒气，就是被击败，被责备，被歌声嘲笑，乐趣在哪 里？好吧，也许点球算一个乐趣。门将中流传着一个古老的传统：如果点球罚进了， 没办法；如果你扑出了点球，那麽就开香槟吧。乐趣就只有这些了。 And then there's the fact that the goalkeeper is the last line of defence; the most important player; the one whose disappearance will bring down even the greatest team. In Lehman's terms: “Hey! no madder what 'appens, whedder you win or lose, you're always in the spotlight.” 请注意，我们正在谈论的是门将，是球队防守的最後一道防线，是球场上最重要的球 员：如果没有了门将，即使再伟大的球队也难逃失败的命运。就像莱曼所言：“嘿！ 无论发生了什麽，无论赢球还是输球，你永远都处在聚光灯下。” And in those wise, enlightened words, Jens has summed up what it is that makes a goalkeeper. The thrill of danger rushing straight towards you; the weight of a team, a club, a nation on your shoulders; the non-existent margin for error. To be a top goalkeeper you need to be not only comfortable with such territory, but to seek it out. 从这些有启发性的言语中，莱曼总结出了门将是如何炼成的。令人胆寒的危险包围着 你；一支球队、一个俱乐部、甚至一个国家的重任担在你的肩上；而你却不能够有哪 怕一点点的失误。一个优秀的门将，不仅要适应这一切，还要敢於去寻找这些挑战。 Bearing this in mind, until our boys are fully fit again I think Chelsea can brush aside advances from Fabien Barthez and keep Magnus Hedman on the bench, for there is only one man for the job. Someone brave to the point of suicidal, rugged to the point of unhealthy, enthusiastic to the point of annoying and more than familiar with an all-star team, why it can only be Escape To Victory's Cpt. 记住这一点，如果我们的门神们完全康复了，我们完全可以无视巴特斯的示好，把海 德曼安排在替补席上，因为我们已经有了一个足以胜任的门将。这个人勇敢得义无反 顾，热情到无以复加，而且对我们的全明星球队无比的熟悉。 Robert “Sly” Hatch. Adriaaaane! (Cech please.) （天佑切赫。） -- 当我漫游在斯坦弗森林时，我看见了雀尔西，米尔斯的女儿，在傍晚初升的明月中， 在泰晤士河旁一处林地空间上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的记忆都离开了我，我像落入迷离 幻境中一般，因为雀尔西是伊露维塔儿女中最美的一位。她身上那袭蓝色的衣裳宛如 万里无云的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星闪烁的天空；她的斗篷上绣着金色的花 朵，她的头发漆黑如暮色中的阴影。她的荣光与美好，就像树叶上的光芒，像是潺潺 流水，像是这迷离世界上方闪烁的繁星；她脸上有闪亮的光辉。 --
