說到Gilberto, 我之前有在wiki查看他的來歷, 真的是不簡單. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilberto_Silva 他不像其他球員那麼幸運, 他早期的足球生涯還真是坎坷. 12歲時進入America Mineiro 成為青訓球員, 但是15歲時他父親退休, 他得扛起養家的任 務, 所以退出了足球當個木匠/勞工/糖廠工人. 18歲時他又回去當地球會的青年隊, 但是 沒多久因為他母親病重, 必須找份收入更高的工作, 所以又退出當地的球會. 直到21歲, 他才正式成為職業球員, 當時他在America Mineiro踢了3年中後衛. 在成功幫 助球隊獲得serie A亞軍後, 他轉會到Atletico Mineiro. 在那第一年他就小腿骨折, 休了 大半塞季; 第二年他被教練"佩雷拉"(就是大家熟悉的那個)由中後衛挪到DM位置, 當時是 2001年, 他被斯科拉利召入國家隊. 2002世界盃時, Emerson突然受傷, 給了他出場的機會 , 從此他就一帆風順了... 直到上星期六中了塞維奇的鬼計~!! 雖然他從小就開始踢球, 但是21歲以前的足球生涯都是斷斷續續的, 而他在那麼短時間內 就能夠登上世界的舞台也非常不容易. 副隊長好偉大~!! ※ 引述《joy0205 (joy0205)》之銘言： : http://tinyurl.com/27rd3s : Gilberto cloud has a Silva lining : Richard Jolly : Blackburn Rovers 0 - 2 Arsenal : 'The Invisible Wall' is one of the great sporting monikers. Gilberto Silva's : nickname reflects well on his native Brazil; if he had been English, he would : have probably been called Silva-y, or something similarly unimaginative. For : much of his first four years at Arsenal, it was true, but he has become far : more conspicuous this season. He was, of course, particularly visible in : scoring eight goals. : There was a reason why the sent-off Gilberto was not : conspicuous for the last 77 minutes at Ewood Park. He goes by the name of : Robbie Savage, and he has considerable previous. Indeed, the list of Savage's : victims is longer than his flowing locks. : Now the cornerstone of the Arsenal midfield can be added to that list. As : Savage harried Gilberto, the Arsenal vice-captain was fouled, eventually : going to ground. As he went to rise, he received an apparent knee in the back : from Savage, prompting him to swing a boot in the Welshman's direction. : Just as predictably as the rain in Blackburn, Savage went to ground, : purporting himself to be hurt in a fit of histrionics. : For all Savage's posturing, it is hard to imagine a genuine hard man, a Roy : Keane, a Graeme Souness or even a Mark Hughes, devoting such attention to : getting others dismissed; all would have felt it demeaning to collapse so : easily. : But when is violent conduct not violent? Contact appeared so inconsequential : that it would challenge every dictionary definition of violent. Rob Styles, : applying the letter of the law without an ounce of common sense, dismissed : Gilberto. : 'The referee applied the law to the letter,' said a resigned Arsene Wenger. : 'He can defend his case. Gilberto said he over-reacted but I felt if he sent : Gilberto off, he should have sent Savage off also. That's what I thought for : a moment he would do.' : Hughes' view was: 'Initially I thought he'd lashed out with his arm. But he : kicked Robbie and you can't do that. No, I didn't think he was provoked.' : Hughes has spent much of the season asserting that Blackburn have had a raw : deal from referees. But he undermines his argument with statements such as : that. He is, of course, far from alone in applying double standards. : Others who were equally guilty lurked in the stands. Those in the home : support who sang 'same old Arsenal, always cheating' displayed a remarkable : level of hypocrisy; where does affinity with your club descend into the : realms of stupidity? : Justice of sorts was done by Arsenal's victory, but not for Gilberto. A : three-match ban will rule him out of Manchester United's visit to the : Emirates Stadium next Sunday. It would be pleasing, if unlikely, if that : suspension was transferred to Savage. Instead Wenger, after the precedent set : by the FA with Charlton's Osei Sankofa, is unlikely to appeal in case the : Brazilian's enforced absence is extended. : His response to going down to 10 men was instructive. It was logical to : assume that Mathieu Flamini would be introduced at the expense of a more : attack-minded player. Instead Tomas Rosicky shifted into the centre of : midfield and it was almost another hour before Flamini arrived. : In that time, against an industrious Blackburn quartet in midfield, three : supposedly lightweight Arsenal imports prospered. : 'When Gilberto was sent off, the three midfielders were tremendous,' Wenger : explained. 'Rosicky was immense, [Alexander] Hleb and [Cesc] Fabregas as : well.' : They took the lead in what, until recently, would have been uncharacteristic : style. But set pieces have proved profitable this season. Normally it has : been Gilberto on the end of them. This time it was Kolo Toure, meeting a : Thierry Henry free kick with a fine header. : Then, when Blackburn threatened an equaliser, came a glorious second goal. : Henry exchanged passed with Fabregas - the latter playing the return ball : with typical perceptiveness - and the Frenchman bent a wonderful shot past : Brad Friedel. : 'It was a sensational goal,' added Wenger. 'It's real class with the timing : of the pass and the run. It definitely killed the game in the heads of the : supporters of Blackburn. : In their search for greater incision, Rovers had brought on Tugay, whose : initial station on the bench suggested a rather more attritional approach. He : supplied their finest pass of the match but the Turk, a talented technician : himself, planted his studs into Fabregas' foot. Wenger, proving his myopia is : not limited to his own team's misdemeanours, did not see it, but there was a : suggestion that Tugay would have been a more deserving recipient of the red : card. : Instead, he got a yellow, and Blackburn have more than any other Premiership : side. There is much to admire about Blackburn, not least a commitment to good : football and the wonderful left foot of Morten Gamst Pedersen, but they find : ways of obscuring the good. And for that, much of the blame lies at the feet : of Robbie Savage. : MAN OF THE MATCH: Cesc Fabregas - The two goalscorers both have valid claims : and the excellent Pedersen was Blackburn's best player, the young Spaniard's : was a performance of great maturity, capped with a fine pass for Arsenal's : second goal. : MOAN OF THE MATCH: See Savage, Robbie. : BLACKBURN VERDICT: After four consecutive victories, their winning run has : been ended. Blackburn at least know that their relegation fears have been : abated. For Hughes, the consolation is that they don't face Arsenal again : this season. : ARSENAL VERDICT: 'We had a great combination between strength, commitment and : real class,' said a delighted Wenger. It was interesting, too, to hear a : revolutionary manager quote old-fashioned football logic as to the difference : between his side this year and last, particularly away from home. : 'We work hard together defensively from up front and everyone takes more : responsibility,' he added. : 我蠻喜歡看ESPN的soccernet的 : 因為大陸的文章大多是轉譯來自英系媒體的文章 : soccernet的東西反而比較不會看到一些比較重複的內容 : 這篇文章就寫的蠻不錯的 : 裡面有一句話特別傳神: : "if he had been English, he would have probably been called Silva-y, : or something similarly unimaginative." : 哈哈~~太好笑了!!
