http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/apr1c.html Amauri opts for England Wednesday 1 April, 2009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juventus striking star Amauri has sensationally snubbed both Brazil and Italy to pledge his international future to Fabio Capello's England. The Brazilian-born marksman has never worn the Selecao shirt and he had looked likely to try and represent the Azzurri. But in a stunning twist, Amauri has declared that he wants to play under Capello for England. 阿毛說他想代表卡佩羅執教的英格蘭國家隊。 And the gifted predator is eligible to represent England due to his grandfather, Graham Carvalho de Oliveira, who was a roofer from Bromsgrove. 效力資格來自他有個出身布萊姆斯哥拉夫，蓋屋頂的阿公。 “This decision has brought me many sleepless nights,” he told Brazilian website Diadosbobos.com. 阿毛告訴巴西網站《Diadosbobos.com》：「這決定讓我好幾晚睡不好覺。」 “But after much deliberation I just had to follow my heart and choose England. I can't wait to work with Capello. 「但是經過多番深思熟慮，我只想跟隨己心選擇英格蘭， 我等不及要跟卡佩羅共事了。」 Amauri also revealed that he had been considering a 'timeshare' agreement with Brazil and Italy before plumping for the Three Lions. 阿毛也透露他曾考慮過跟巴西、義大利『排班表』。 “I approached Marcello Lippi and Carlos Dunga and suggested they share me,” the former Chievo man explained. 「我找里皮跟鄧加商量過，建議他們共用。」 “I would play for Italy in games that fall on weekdays and for Brazil in any weekend games, while at major tournaments I would represent both. 「我會在週中賽事效力義大利隊然後週末賽事就代表巴西，大賽期間我兩邊都踢。」 "However, the deal didn't seem to get the enthusiasm I expected. 「可惜這個提案沒有獲得我預期的熱烈回應。」 "That's all behind me now and I am 100 per cent English. 「但這一切都過去了，我現在百分百效忠英格蘭。」 “I have never been there as such, but it looks nice on TV and I never miss an episode of Judge John Deed.” 「我從沒到過英格蘭，不過從電視上看起來那邊蠻好的， 而且我從未錯過任何一集《Judge John Deed》！」 （BBC 傳奇影集，播了二十九季。） －－ 大家別忘了今天什麼日子還有 Channel4 來自英國。 -- 「晚輩今天是來勸架，並不是來結怨的。」 --
