An extremely talented but inconsistent player has been turned into to an international star that can be trusted to come up with the goods on a regular basis. Jose certainly can take a good deal of the credit for that, along with Joe himself of course. 现在的莫里尼奥应当对乔科尔有同样的感受。天资聪颖但过去缺乏稳定状态的他在穆 帅的调教下已经成长为一位国际巨星，你完全可以信任他随时能够拿出最好的表现。 为此何塞广获赞誉，当然是和小乔一起。 His goals have been missed but his creation of chances and space has been missed even more. It may well have been that Shevchenko's recent scoring spree would have started sooner had Joe been around to provide the ammunition. 我们想念他的进球，更想念他为球队制造的机会和创造的空间。要是有小乔在周围的助 攻，舍娃的进球狂潮一定会来得更早些。 One of Chelsea's main strengths in the past two seasons has been the ability to change the style of attack, either by tactical manipulation or by timely substitutions. Joe Cole regularly helped in both of those areas and no doubt the manager realises as much as anyone the decrease in his options without the England player. 要麽通过战术运用，要麽通过及时的替补上场，这是过去两赛季切尔西在战术风格转换 过程中的主要推动力量。在两个领域上乔科尔的作用都不容忽视，无疑在缺少了这位英格 兰国脚之後，穆帅明显感到了选择上的吃力。 Let us hope he is fortunate with his recovery and is back as soon as possible, certainly the luck I was talking about last week appears to have carried on for the Blues in some respects. 让我们共同祝愿他快些康复，迅速归队吧；从上周来看，蓝军在某些方面的运气似乎正 在回升。 The FA Cup draw has been relatively kind again with a home tie against either Norwich City or Blackpool to look forward to, along with the first - and hopefully not the last - final of the season in the Carling Cup, time to get the red carpet prepared once more. 足总杯的抽签是主场对阵布莱克普尔或者诺维奇城，又是一次不错的运气；还有本赛季 第一次--肯定不是最後一次啦--决赛拉开帷幕，就是联赛杯，又要到了准备红毯庆祝的 时候了。 That reminds me of something which happened down at the Stamford Bridge last season. As most of you will know it was the club's centenary year and the current owners spared no expense in the celebrations. 这让我想起了上赛季在斯坦福桥的情景。你们都知道那是俱乐部的百年庆典，现在的这 位老板毫不吝啬的让我们大肆庆祝。 There was however a thought that some of the events were a little too ostentatious, so one of the main get togethers was arranged in the original old-fashioned pub - across the road from the stadium - where Chelsea Football Club started all those years ago. 然而仍然有意见认为有点过於铺张了，所以有些聚会人群被安排到了一个古老的旧式酒 吧-跟球场一路之隔的对面-一个俱乐部开办同年设立的酒吧。 I went down expecting a fairly low-key affair, involving a few drinks with some ex players, the current management and maybe a few of the fans. 我走过去，以为会遇到些稍微低调点的事，比如跟几位老球员，跟现在的老板或者几个 球迷一起喝喝酒。 On arriving, I was greeted by a mass of paparazzi, the red carpet outside, flowing vintage champagne inside and the first person I saw on getting through the doors was Claudia Schiffer. Now I don't know about you, but that is not what it is like down my local pub on a wet Tuesday night. 我到那儿就被一大群摄像师迎了进去，门口外正铺着红地毯，而门内是香槟葡萄酒的盛 宴。进门之後我看见的第一个人就是克劳迪娅 席弗尔。我不知道你怎麽想，那时的我真 的觉得这根本不像一个有雨的周二晚上，在我们当地的酒吧里能看到的情景。 It was a good night anyway and the old players were given a solid silver, Chelsea inscribed, luggage label (in a Tiffany's bag) as a present when we left. It was very thoughtful, though how long a silver luggage label would last when put through with the baggage at any major international airport remains open to question. 无论如何那个夜晚很不错，所有老队员在离开时都拿到一枚印有切尔西标志的银质行李 标签（用蒂凡尼的包装着）作为礼物。虽然在国际机场间来回穿梭的旅程里，一枚银质 行李标签能够用多久谁都不得而知，但这种礼物的意义却的确深远。 Anyway, I mentioned this because I was going to give that label away as a prize this week, but guess what, I can't find it. If I do it will go as a prize some time soon. 其实我提到它是因为我想把它当作这星期的奖品，可是，知道麽，我找不着它了。要是 哪天找到，我一定会把它当奖品的。 In the mean time, last week's winner was Kevin Harman from Guildford who correctly noted that in his last international game, assistant manager Stevie Clarke was marking that other Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit, who was himself playing his last game for Holland. 同时说一下，上周的优胜者是来自吉尔福德的Kevin Harman。他准确的回答出，在我们 的助理教练史蒂夫克拉克的最後一场国家队比赛中，他的对手中有另一位切尔西英雄路 德古利特，同样是代表荷兰国家队出场的最後一场比赛。 This week's teaser relates to Celtic FC who were mentioned above. Chelsea once signed a Scottish international from that club and his career was cut short by an eye injury. He was an exceptional player but can you name him? 这周的题目跟前面提到的凯尔特人有关。切尔西曾签下一位来自那个俱乐部的苏格兰国 脚，然而他的职业生涯因为眼部有伤而不得不戛然而止。他可是位优秀的球员，你能说 出他的名字吗？ Answers to me at [email protected] 答案寄至[email protected]。 --
