http://tinyurl.com/y5vc87 Argentina captain Roberto Fabian Ayala has defended international team-mates Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez, insisting that it is only a matter of time before they show their true form for West Ham. 老鼠隊長為小馬小猴辯護，他堅信他們在槌子聯發光發熱只是時間的問題。 (為什麼突然有種十二生肖的感覺 XD) Amid fears over their ability to settle in England, Argentina coach Alfio Basile has claimed that Tevez and Mascherano "seem lacking in enthusiasm". "I am", he admitted, "worried about them. I see them and think they must be looking at everything and understanding nothing." 在不清楚他們能力是否足以在英格蘭安頓的憂慮之下，阿根廷教練巴西萊曾經表示他認為 兩人「看起來缺乏熱情」，他承認：「我的確很擔心他們，我看著他們並且認為他們看到 了所有事但卻沒有一樣是理解的。」 But Ayala believes that the pair are merely going through the inevitable transition after making the leap from South America to Europe and has backed them to come good. The 33-year-old Valencia defender, who has played in Europe since 1995, said: "It's always difficult in the beginning for us. When you first come to play here you have to change your game and adapt to the lifestyle. The leagues are very competitive and they will have to get used to it but they won't have a problem in the long-term: they are tough characters. I know both of them well. I have spoken to them and I am absolutely convinced they have the right personality and all the qualities to succeed." 但是阿亞拉相信兩人只是在經歷從南美到歐洲這無可避免的過程，他認為他們會變好的。 這位從1995年就已經在歐洲踢球的33歲瓦倫西亞後衛說：「這對我們（南美球員）來說一 直都很困難。當你第一次來這裡，你必須改變你踢球的習慣，並適應這裡的生活。（歐洲 的）聯賽競爭激烈，他們必須去適應它，長期來說他們不會有問題的，他們是硬漢。我很 了解他們，我曾經與他們交談，我確信他們擁有適當的性格以及具備所有成功所需的特質 。」 Harry Redknapp manager of Portsmouth, West Ham's opponents today, has added his support and told West Ham manager Alan Pardew to stick with them. The ex-Upton Park chief has hailed the pair as two of the best up and coming players in the world, saying: "It takes time to settle in and when they do they will be great players I am sure. I would have been delighted if somebody had given them to me." 西漢姆今天的對手樸茨茅斯的教練Harry Redknapp表達了他的支持，他提醒西漢姆教練 Alan Pardew要抓牢他們兩個。這位前Upton Park教頭稱讚兩人是世界上崛起中的最佳球 員，他說：「要安頓好需要花點時間，當他們做到了之後，我確信他們會是優秀的球員。 如果有人要將他們給我的話，我會很高興的。」 --
