http://tinyurl.com/2ykcfy Sir Bobby对於KK的回归感到高兴,他说他很久没看过这个球队以及城市这麽 热闹了.同时他也提到老板像个孩子一样,老板也亲口跟Sir Bobby说: "Bobby,如果你再年轻个10岁,我们就会找你当主教练了." Sir Bobby不敢肯定,因为KK几乎可说是这里最受欢迎的人了,但Sir Bobby承认说, 听到老板这样跟他讲,是感觉蛮不错的. 整篇文章大概可以看出Sir Bobby对他任内养出来或买来的几只年轻小将爱护有加XD Sir Bobby也提到在Big Sam执教下,N'Zogbia就像个工具人,哪里有伤病哪里去打工.... 他相信在KK执教,N'Zogbia会发挥的更好. Sir Bobby说他希望Milner,Taylor跟N'Zogbia能发光,而且是在Newcastle. 他说N'Zogbia是他签入的,他在他还是个小鬼的时候签入他,他认为N'Zogbia是他看过 中...这里讲应该算是天才吧?(不确定该怎麽翻比较恰当...) Sir Bobby认为KK仍然保持了幽默感,他也觉得KK处理Owen的问题上处理的很好, 还让他当队长. Sir Bobby说他上周提到他觉得该是给Shearer这个工作的时候,但他也说,如果 有一个人能够来接这个位置而不是Shearer的话,那只会是 Kevin Keegan. Sir Bobby最後提到,很多人都认为KK不会想回来了所以甚至不会去考虑找他, 他说这要给老板肯定,也许就是这种创意让老板成为这麽有钱的商人. XD I was delighted to meet Kevin Keegan at St James' Park after the FA Cup win against Stoke, just hours after his appointment had been announced. The atmosphere on Tyneside was incredible. It was as if Pele, Maradona and Jackie Milburn had all signed for the club on the same day. It was just as upbeat in the boardroom as in the stands. Mike Ashley was jumping around like a kid in a sweetshop, certainly a different demeanour from what I had seen earlier in the season. He made me laugh when he came over and said: "Bobby, if you had been 10 years younger, it would have been you." I'm not sure if I believed him — Kevin's popularity in the north-east outshines anyone — but it was a very nice gesture! It was a remarkable evening. I was having a meal in the boardroom before the game and everything was calm because nobody really expected Kevin to be at the match. Then, about 15 minutes in with Newcastle winning 1-0, I became aware of a commotion to my left. I glanced over to see Chris Mort, Mike Ashley and Kevin coming into the stadium. Everyone reacted as if the Messiah had walked in. After that, nobody could keep their eyes on the pitch, even though Newcastle won 4-1. The feller sat in front of me must have turned his head round to look at Kevin every 10 seconds. I've never seen a boardroom like it after the final whistle. There was fist-pumping, broad smiles, a real buzz. A few of Kevin's former players, such as Peter Beardsley, were there — it was a proper celebration. Kevin was there shaking hands with everyone. I wished him luck, of course, and had a chat with his wife, Jean, about horses of all things! Ironically, it was the first time this season Newcastle had played like a Keegan team, even though it had been selected by Nigel Pearson. That is the effect Kevin has up here. The reaction in the city has been incredible. Radio shows on Thursday morning didn't play any records, the DJs just chatted about Kevin. My phone didn't stop for hours. Friends, family, media men, everyone wanted to talk about him and how excited they were. I can't think of another figure who would have had that reaction in any city in the world. I thought Kevin impressed when he met the Press on Friday. He was cool and calculating, but his humour came through as well. At Newcastle there is no room for 'shrinking violets', as Freddy Shepherd used to say, and humour is important. I thought he handled the questions about Michael Owen very well; he didn't sulk or get angry, he has made Michael his captain, despite those critical comments in the striker's book. In his first spell at the club, Kevin was known for two things: thrilling football and eye-catching signings. Just think of the players he brought to the north-east — David Ginola, Les Ferdinand, Tino Asprilla, Andy Cole and, of course, Alan Shearer. I'm sure he will be linked with a lot of high-profile players, but I think the effect he will have on youngsters already at the club, like Charles N'Zogbia, will be equally important. Kevin will inherit some young talent far better than he had when he arrived for his first spell as boss, when Newcastle were near the bottom of the old Second Division. Young players like James Milner, Steven Taylor and N'Zogbia could go to the very top with the right coaching and motivation, and I hope it is with Newcastle. N'Zogbia is a fascinating case. I signed him as a teenager and he was one of the most naturally gifted players of that age I'd ever seen. He seemed to have some kind of dispute with Glenn Roeder and we rarely saw him, which I couldn't understand. Sam Allardyce did play him but he seemed to have to fit in wherever there was an injury. Knowing Kevin, I think he'll seize on N'Zogbia's ability. Amid all the hype, I'm sure Kevin is realistic enough to know he won't be able to overturn three years of negative progress in three minutes. Not even Kevin has a magic wand to cure all ills straight away. However, I think Mike Ashley and the chairman can really get to work now they have their own man in place. It is difficult when you spend ￡250million on a club and the man in charge of the football is somebody else's appointment. Once they had decided they needed a replacement for Allardyce, the time was right to go for someone to fire the imagination of the Geordie public. I suggested in last week's column that I considered Shearer capable of the job, despite a lack of managerial experience. The only other candidate who could have done that was Keegan. To be honest, I wasn't even sure if he'd be willing to come back into the pressure-cooker of the Premier League. Credit to Mike Ashley for asking the question others might not have considered. It's probably that kind of creative thinking that has made him a fortune in business! --- 说真的我非常喜欢看Sir Bobby的专栏 因为他的文章内可以感觉到他对Newcastle的感情,尤其是这篇. 我也希望Sir Bobby可以年轻个10岁:) --
