● Big Sam认为Keegan会得到的时间比他还要多,他的蜜月期会比较长,最主要是他
是老板的选择。
Big Sam认为Newcastle的球迷跟当地的媒体都太没有耐心,而KK需要时间让一切事情
能够运转,Big Sam希望KK能够得到他所没有的资金支持以及时间。
Sam Allardyce insists he wasn't given enough time at Newcastle United
and says patience is needed if Kevin Keegan is to turn the club's fortunes
around.
Allardyce was shown the door at St James' Park after half a season in
charge, but his successor Keegan is yet to win a match and has only picked
up two points from his first four Premier League games.
Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Aston Villa left Newcastle fans looking nervously
over their shoulders at the relegation zone, but Allardyce insists the job
must be regarded as a long-term project.
And he feels Keegan will be given more time than he was because he was
put in place by the club's new owner Mike Ashley.
He told Goals On Sunday: "I think every job in the Premier League has
massive expectation and is a massive job to take on.
"But the reality is you must be given time to do any job and there is no
reality now in the Premier League; it's all about expectation.
"The fans are impatient, the media is impatient and Kevin will need the
time that I didn't get to turn things around at such a great club.
"I think he'll get a longer honeymoon period than I did because he's
Mike's choice. He made it clear that I wasn't his choice when I left, so I
think Kevin will get time because he's the owner's first choice.
"Hopefully he will give him the backing and the money he needs to turn
such a big club around.
Allardyce was surprised results didn't improve more quickly under Keegan
because he felt the team were playing reasonably well towards the end of his
own spell in charge, but he insists the new manager has a good squad to work
with.
Reaction
He continued: "I think everybody expected to see an initial reaction when
you change the manager. Generally the results change in your favour when you
do that.
"In the last few games of my time we were so close to winning matches that
we lost. It was a hair's breadth and that's the difference between keeping
your job and losing your job.
"Kevin has got to find out about his players, but he's got some good
players and he's got to knit them together. He's got to keep the confidence
there.
"He's got the African Nations Cup players back so he's got a bigger squad
to choose from as four of those players were away.
"But he's had some tough fixtures through this month and they haven't
picked up any of the wins that they expected."
Expectation
● Big Sam认为在这里的期待太高了,当你赢球这些人会是非常美妙非常棒的,但
当你输球,这些期待以及这些支持者就很容易变成压力,而这会摧毁球员的自信心。
Big Sam在离开後对於Newcastle的当地媒体一直蛮不满的(我猜是纪事晚报....)
他认为媒体有时候对事情并没有帮助,而他认为Newcastle需要的球员是不会被这些
压力击倒,能够接受责任的球员。因为过去就有些球员是因为被压力击败而离开的。
Allardyce also explained too much expectation is heaped on Newcastle's
players by the club's fervent fanbase and the local media.
He feels the demands of playing in front of the Toon Army are too much
for some players and insists strong personalities are needed to play at St
James' Park.
He continued: "I think the club in its entirety asks for too much of its
players on the field. The big problem for the players is playing at Newcastle
United and the demand from the fans and the media that goes with it.
"When they get on your back it can destroy your confidence. They're great
when you're winning and it's a fantastic atmosphere and a wonderful,
wonderful stadium to be in.
"But when it's not going too well and that turns, players find it fearful
and they get very apprehensive.
"So you need big players to play there, who can accept that responsibility
and the pressure that comes with playing for Newcastle United as in the past
it's destroyed one or two and they've left."
Cool and calm
● Big Sam在最後给了Michael Owen支持,他认为Owen有能力去处理那些压力,因为
他年纪很小的时候就开始替肝池跟英格兰比赛了。Big Sam认为他非常的冷静而且清楚
自己的能力。
而在Newcastle,要在52000名球迷面前踢球那种压力其实并不是很好受。
有些球员来自於比较小的俱乐部,他们从来没有那种经验在这麽多的人面前踢球,
而有时候当你输球,这些压力将会打击你。
Big Sam认为Owen最大的问题在於他没办法保持健康,以及回到他应该有的水准。
However, he insisted striker Michael Owen is well equipped to cope with
the pressure placed upon him because of his experiences early in his career.
Owen has come under the spotlight after he was left out of Fabio Capello's
England team last week, but Allardyce backed him to get back to his best if
he can stay clear of the injury problems that have plagued his Newcastle
career.
"Michael Owen is fine," Allardyce added.
"He handles that pressure no problem. He's cool and calm and he knows his
ability.
"He's grown up with the pressure because he played for England at a young
age and he played for Liverpool.
"Coming to Newcastle, the pressure isn't quite as great. The problem is
when players come from smaller clubs and haven't experienced the pressure
that comes from 52,000 very passionate fans that are with you when you win,
but are sometimes against you when you lose
"Michael's problem is staying fit and getting back to how we know he can
play - that's the biggest demand for Michael now. If he can do that then
he'll start putting the goals in the back of the net.
"Unfortunately for him and for Newcastle, during his time there the
injuries he's had mean he has only played about 30 games in two-and-a-half
years.
"If he stays fit and he start scoring - as he did against Aston Villa on
Saturday - then he'll get back to his normal self."
