那么直播吧8月24日讯 在8月23日,鸟栖息砂岩1-6负于神户胜利船的比赛结束后,托雷斯结束了他长达19年的球员生涯。
随后,昔日恩师,今大连一方主帅贝尼特斯在个人网站上发表文章,向“圣婴”传达了他的怀念与祝福。
“今天,是我们的‘圣婴’费尔南多-托雷斯退役的日子。
这种时刻简直就是为了回忆而生的。那是2007年的夏天,当时我还是利物浦的主教练,我们决定将费尔南多从卡尔德隆带到安菲尔德球场。在马竞和利物浦两支球队看来,那是一次很职业的转会。当我和俱乐部工作人员去到马德里时,转会已经基本完成了,但并没有很多人知道这件事。后来他来到默西赛德郡,一切都尘埃落定,球队才正式宣布了他的转会消息。在媒体消息如此发达的今天,这样保密的大转会是非常难以做到的。
正如当时每个英格兰人所说一样,费尔南多的到来使利物浦如虎添翼。他极致的速度和灵巧的跑动,还有与杰拉德之间的默契感应,成为了英超每支球队后防的噩梦。就像他在安菲尔德对阵切尔西打进的第一球那样。防守球员根本就无法阻止他。
在我们在老特拉福德球场4-1获得双红会的比赛中,费尔南多打进一个球,但更重要的是他完全摧毁了曼联的防守体系,维迪奇因为防守他时犯规而被红牌罚出场。像这样的胜利,还有很多很多。
后来,我又在切尔西遇到了‘圣婴’,那个赛季对切尔西和他来说都很艰难。阿布以极大的热情签下了费尔南多,但是效果却不甚理想。老板认为,或许我和费尔南多的关系可以让他最喜欢的球员和他的球队重新充满活力。
一切都进行得很顺利。费尔南多在欧联杯的比赛中成为了主角,他在我们捧起奖杯的征程里打进了很多进球,并为我们在英超联赛中闯进前三做出了巨大贡献,而第三名也是我刚来的时候俱乐部的目标。
对于统计爱好者来说,在我们一起工作的几个赛季(2007-08、2008-09、2009-10和2012-13),费尔南多分别打入33、17、22和22粒进球,其中包括他的三个最为高光的赛季。换句话说,我们在一起的日子,做的并不糟糕。
时间会让你对一些事情有了新的认识,我相信当费尔南多驻足回首的时候,他会带着爱和深情回忆那些时光。作为他的教练之一,我希望我在他成功的职业生涯中,有能很好地帮助到他。
我还记得我们之间有过一个关于生日的故事,那是在他为我们进球的第二天。我没有向他祝贺生日快乐,而是对他进行了一些技术和战术上的纠正,我根本没有意识到今天是什么日子!尽管如此,我认为我们之间一直保持着良好的个人关系。
费尔南多是一个谦逊的好球员,他从来都是无私地去帮助与支持他的队友。他也是一个有着光辉形象的伟大球员,但他在更衣室里从来都不会惹事。相反地,他总是尽力去帮助别人。如果其他球员做了一些不对的事情,他可能会和他们进行一次私下的深入交流,因为他得到了每个人的尊重,他是利物浦和切尔西近年来屡获成功的关键人物。
费尔南多,我知道你会继续用你的榜样和经历去激励每一个年轻人。祝你在人生和事业的下一个阶段好运。”
最好的祝愿
贝尼特斯
文章原文:Today marks the retirement of Fernando Torres, the player they call ‘El Ni?o’.
Moments like this are made for reflection and I remember the summer of 2007, when I was manager of Liverpool and we decided to invest in bringing Fernando to Anfield.
The hiring process was an example of how to do things, both from the perspective of Atletico Madrid and Liverpool. I had travelled to Madrid when an agreement was close and nobody knew about it and when everything was finalised, Fernando came back to Merseyside, waiting a couple of days to make it official, without the news breaking anywhere. With all the leaks that exist, it is a difficult thing to do these days.
Anyway, as they say in England, Fernando was a big step in the right direction for Liverpool. His speed and movement, together with the rapport he forged with Steven Gerrard, were lethal to Premier League defences, who were less tactically drilled than their Spanish counterparts. His first goal at Anfield, against Chelsea, was an example of that; defenders could not stop him.?
When we won 4-1 at Old Trafford the following season, Fernando scored once, but he also shattered Manchester United’s entire defensive system. Nemanja Vidic, who was sent off that day, could not deal with him. There would be many other victories like that.?
Later, I met up again with El Ni?o at Chelsea, in a difficult season for them and for him. Roman Abramovich had signed Fernando with huge enthusiasm, but it hadn’t worked, and the owner thought that my relationship with him could re-energise his favourite player and his team.
In that regard, everything went perfectly. Fernando came to the fore in the Europa League, scoring many goals on our way to lifting the trophy and contributing to our third-place finish in the Premier League, which had been the club’s target when I arrived.
For lovers of statistics, in the seasons we worked together (2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2012-13), Fernando scored 33, 17, 22 and 22 goals, which includes his three most productive campaigns. In other words, we didn’t do too badly together.?
Time gives you perspective on things and I am sure that when Fernando looks back he will remember those days with love and affection. As one of his coaches, I hope I helped him over the course of his successful career.
I know that Fernando tells the story of one of his birthdays, which fell the day after him scoring some goals for us. Instead of offering my congratulations, I gave him some technical and tactical corrections, although in my defence, I hadn’t realised what day it was! In spite of that, I’d like to think we always maintained a good personal relationship.
Fernando has been a wonderful example of humility, of unstinting support for his teammates. He was a big player with a big public image, but he was never a problem in the dressing-room. On the contrary, he went out of his way to help others. And he could have difficult conversations with other players if they were doing something he didn’t like because he had earned their respect. He was a decisive figure in the successes of both Liverpool and Chelsea.
Fernando, I know you will continue to inspire young people by your example and through your experience. I wish you good luck in the next stage of your life and career.
Best wishes,
Rafa.
