Olympiacos 1-0 Arsenal-幼儿园办到了希腊去

Olympiacos 1-0 Arsenal-幼儿园办到了希腊去

Arsenal’s youngsters left Athens with nothing to show for a valiant performance at Olympiacos on Wednesday night.

Having won Champions League Group H on Matchday Five, Arsène Wenger had decided to field a scratch side in Greece. He started with five teenagers – including two debutants – and the average age was 21. A figure skewed by the presence of 32-year-old Mikael Silvestre at centre back.

It was the youngest ever side fielded in the Champions League, beating the record set by Ajax six years ago.

By contrast, Olympiacos were motivated by both the point they needed to qualify for the Knockout Stages and the vocal backing of the imposing Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium.

They got the goal they required just after half-time when Leonardo charged through and drove his shot under Lukasz Fabianski. However, for much of the game, it was Arsenal who impressed.

They forced the Greek champions to play on the counter-attack in the first half. After they went behind Carlos Vela spurned a couple of chances to equalise and, at the death, the impressive Aaron Ramsey saw an effort kicked off the line.

Wenger could have asked for no better European finishing school than this. It was one of the few games in the season that Arsenal could afford to lose so the manager took advantage.

The benefits may not be apparent for a few years to come but, make no mistake, this could have been a turning point in the careers of a couple of players on show.

It was worthwhile exercise.

Wenger had pretty much named his line-up before kick-off. The defence was 50 per cent made of 18-year-old debutants – Tom Cruise and Kyle Bartley – while other youngsters such as Jack Wilshere, Fran Merida, Kerrea Gilbert and Vela and were given another run-out.

For differing reasons, Alex Song, Theo Walcott, Lukasz Fabianski and Mikael Silvestre all needed games.

There would be a temptation to call it a Carling Cup side. But Arsenal had generally fielded stronger sides than this in their ‘fourth competition’ this season.

Jay Emmanuel Thomas had been named as part of the squad but, in fact, he was ineligible because he had been on loan at Blackpool at the start of the season. Therefore Arsenal only named six substitutes.

In his pre-match press conference, Wenger had mentioned that the best way to quieten the famous Olympiacos atmosphere was to play good football.

It may have been a very different side but the Frenchman’s brand was stamped all over this Arsenal team in the opening stages.

They were neat, tidy and confident. But the closest they came to scoring was when Antonis Nikopolidis batted away a rising drive from Walcott.

Shortly afterwards Oscar Gonzalez set up Kostas Mitroglou to sidefoot an effort over the bar. It was a decent chance but it had been snatched on the break. Arsenal, young and fearless, were actually pushing back the Greek champions.

At the quarter-hour, the balance of play had done little to affect the volume in the stadium. The home fans were still drumming, singing, shouting and waving flags. Arsenal were booed when they were in possession.

And, as Olympiacos started to impose themselves, the volume only grew louder. In the 17th minute, Luciano Galletti floated over a corner and a shot from Avraam Papadopoulos hit Olof Mellberg.
Generally, though, Olympiacos were looking most dangerous on the break and, in the 19th minute, one such raid saw them nearly take the lead.

Mitroglou stormed down the left and picked out Galletti at the far post. The Argentinean leapt impressively but could only bounce a shot into the sidenetting. Soon after that Dudu slammed a shot over the bar.

Those chances notwithstanding, it had been a very encouraging start from Arsenal. Yes, they were reliant on the well-known strength of Song and Walcott was starting to impress, but the youngsters were playing full roles.

The England international may have gone clear on a couple of occasions but the bounce went against him. His Cameroonian counterpart also drove a shot high from range just past the half-hour.

But as the interval approached, Olympiacos grew in influence. Just before the whistle, a well-worked move saw Giorgos Galitsios freed down the left flank. His deep cross was met by the flying Raul Bravo. The former Leeds midfielder never had the effort under control and it went well over.

It had been 45 minutes of hard work but the Arsenal side could be proud of what they had achieved.

However the harshest of lessons was meted out within 90 seconds of the restart.

Bartley dispossessed Gonzalez effectively enough in midfield but the interception fell kindly for the onrushing Leonardo. The Brazilian sprinted clear of Gilbert and tucked his shot under Fabianski.

It was the goal Wenger must have feared having got to half-time relatively comfortably. But perversely, Arsenal should have equalised three minutes later, Ramsey broke clear on the left and, despite two pursuers, managed to square the ball to the unmarked Vela. His shot had power but was straight at Nikopolidis.

As the hour-mark passed and went, Arsenal looked a little tired. But they were still creating chances and Ramsey was at the hub of most of them. The Welshman was in an eye-catching mood tonight.

Midway through the half he curled a gorgeous ball into the path of Walcott but the striker was muscled off by Bravo. From the resulting corner, Ramsey saw his header saved.

In the 70th minute, Merida’s slide-rule pass gave Vela a glimpse of goal. Unfortunately for Arsenal, he prodded the ball over the bar. A golden opportunity.

The game was now becoming more and more open. Fabianski clawed down a shot from Leonardo and, with 14 minutes left, Mitroglou’s shot beat the Polish keeper but drifted wide.

However it was Arsenal who might have stolen a point with a minute left. Merida’s low right-wing corner meandered through to Ramsey at the far post and the Welshman’s effort was booted off the line by Leonardo.

There would be no fairy-tale ending tonight.

好在标准列日和阿尔克马尔前面输的球太多了,要不然阿森纳这么打奥林匹亚科斯还不被人投诉打假球啊?

温格本想让年轻人们在希腊找找神话的感觉的,没想到又一次被干得哇哇喊娘。我也不知道从什么时候开始变得如此悲观,如此对连续的胜利感到无望,虽然不论胜败,我依然坚定的站在阿森纳这一边,可是不赢球心里总不会好吧。我想那些小家伙们也是一样,只要上场就输球,这还有个屁信心。说不定西尔维斯特心里也不高兴,不怕傻逼的敌人,就怕傻逼的战友,老板你给我身前身后都安排点啥玩意儿啊这是!

从巴内特到奥林匹亚科斯是一次巨大的飞跃,但他们做得非常好。他们稳健控球,发挥良好,总体上符合我的预期,只是结果不尽如人意。我为球队的积极表现感到骄傲,这些年轻人真的与一线队踢得非常相似,他们没有愧对阿森纳的球衣,尽管这是欧冠历史上最年轻的一套阵容。

最年轻,上一场比赛我们刚刚走过了记录之战,这一次又开创一个新的记录,估计这是前无古人后无来者了。

还有谁?

还有谁敢在欧冠这样级别的比赛上把娃娃兵拉出来练练?

大场面,灰头土脸。

还是阿尔沙文的问题,教授说阿尔沙文是个伟大的球员,伟大的球员可以打任何位置。放屁,放屁,放屁。

合着咱把阿尔沙文克隆出11个来,戳得满场都是,您老大觉得如何?

Arsenal 2-0 Olympiacos-遇上希腊守护神

一生枪手 No Comments »

Late goals from Robin van Persie and Andrey Arshavin saw Arsenal beat Olympiacos at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday but it was so nearly a night of frustration for Arsène Wenger’s side.

The Greek champions kept their hosts at bay for 78 maddening minutes. Arsenal were always on top but a mixture of visiting keeper Antonis Nikopolidis and some profligate finishing maintained the stalemate.

Frustration was just taking over when the deadlock was broken. The excellent Cesc Fabregas fed Eduardo on the left and Van Persie converted from close range. With four minutes remaining, Arshavin completed the scoring with a cheeky backheel from the Spaniard’s pass.

All in all, it was a pleasing night for Wenger’s men. They now have six points from two games and are in control of Group H.

But this had been a game of patience.

Wenger made two changes from Saturday. As against Standard Liege on Matchday One, Emmanuel Eboue came in for Bacary Sagna at right back.

Meanwhile Tomas Rosicky replaced Nicklas Bendtner on the right. The Danish striker was feeling the effects of a minor car crash over the weekend.

Olympiacos had Olof Mellberg, Emirates Stadium’s first goal-scorer, in their line-up and Zico as manager. Of course, the Brazilian had a super-stellar playing career, far outstripping his opposite number tonight. But, on the strength of this evening’s one-way affair, Wenger was in charge of the better team.

There were scares for both keepers in the first 15 minutes. Olympiacos striker Vassilis Torosidis nearly caught out Vito Mannone with an impudent chip from the right flank. Fortunately for the Italian the effort drifted wide.

Shortly afterwards Arshavin tried to find Rosicky at the back post and Antonis Nikopolidis, rather cackhandedly, palmed the ball away.

It was the start of a busy night for the grey-haired keeper.

On the quarter-hour, Fabregas thumped a cross-field ball to Clichy, whose instant control allowed him to breeze past his marker and reach the byline. The Frenchman cut the ball back and Arshavin’s low first-time shot was saved by the stretching Nikopolidis

Then, in the 17th minute, Fabregas conjured the ball between his feet and juddered the bar with a shot from the edge of the area. Van Persie collected the rebound and set-up Rosicky who forced a full-length save from Nikopolidis.

A couple of minutes later, some trademark Arshavin trickery allowed him to prod a shot towards goal. Nikopolidis turned the ball aside.

Midway through the half, Fabregas was again denied by Nikopolidis. This time he shovelled his shot away.

It started to look like the Euro 2004 winner was the only thing standing between Olympiacos and a drubbing. The Greek champions were now looking devoid of attacking intent.

In the 32nd minute, Van Persie threaded a corner through the penalty area and Thomas Vermaelen timed his run, escaped his marker then somehow failed to convert. A head-in-hands moment for the free-scoring Belgian defender.

A header from Torosidis reminded the Arsenal defence that he was still around but Van Persie ran straight up the other end fired a rising shot over the bar.

Five minutes before the break, the Dutchman, rather aptly, Cryuff-turned his marker one way then the other before seeing his shot saved at the near post by Nikopolidis.

As the whistle approached, the keeper tipped a free-kick away from Vermaelen and Diaby nudged a header past the far post. It had been all Arsenal for the last half-hour.

Olympiacos needed an overhaul at the break. Zico settled for one change – Ieroklis Stoltidis for Jaouad Zaïri. It seemed to help.

In the opening minutes the visitors fashioned their first real chance.

Dudu swung over a corner from the left, Mellberg won a header on the edge of the six-yard box and Mannone palmed the ball off the toes of Torosidis.

It would have been much more than a sucker-punch had it gone in and Arsenal retorted.

In the 52nd minute, Fabregas won the ball in midfield and Eboue fed Van Persie on the edge of the area. Nikopolidis spilled his initial shot and, as Michal Zewiakow mopped up the rebound, the Dutchman slid in. He earned a booking for his trouble.

Arsenal continued to attack. Diaby’s cut back just failed to find Arshavin then Arsenal had claims for a penalty when Dudu appeared the bat the ball down. However frustration was starting to rise.

Wenger brought on Eduardo for Rosicky after 66 minutes as Arsenal re-doubled their efforts.

It was a scene that had been played out so many times in the first season at Emirates Stadium. Arsenal – on top, in control and slightly desperate – chasing a goal when they should be way in front.

In the 73rd minute, Van Persie was again denied by Nikopolidis and Gallas was flagged offside as he attempted to turn in the rebound.

Just before Wenger threw on another striker, Diaby was denied twice – once when Nikopolidis diverted his shot around the post and then, from the corner, when his shot was blocked from close-range.

The Frenchman then made way for Carlos Vela. The Mexican’s entrance was followed closely by the opener but he had nothing to do with it.

Fabregas threaded a ball to Eduardo in the left channel. He waited for his moment then weighted his pass into the area. Van Persie arrived on cue to sweep the ball home from close range.

Olympiacos physically slumped. They raised themselves for a final rally but were finally sunk by Arsenal’s second four minutes from the end.

Fabregas sent over a low ball from the right and Arshavin clipped a backheel past the keeper.

It was a happy end to a game that, for long periods, had Arsenal fans tearing their hair out.

阿森纳迎来了连胜,范佩西也迎来了连续进球,与阿森纳有关的故事里又多了一位门神,不过这一次门神不是来自英格兰,而是遥远的希腊,他的名字叫做安东尼奥斯·尼克波里迪斯。

梦幻般的进攻如果没有最终造成大比分,那必定会有梦幻般的防守,阿森纳的梦幻体现在整体的进攻节奏上,而奥林匹亚克斯的梦幻则完全显现在尼克波里迪斯身上。

如果不是尼克波里迪斯,上半场阿森纳就有可能已经把希腊人打成筛子了,可是门神这一次附体在了尼克波里迪斯身上,白头翁高接低挡,虽然一脸的无奈,还是颇显神迹。

范佩西的进球没啥可说,但愿荷兰人能够后发制人,现在的进球数绝对配不上他的身价,况且在本特纳车祸之后的一小段时间内,范佩西是阿森纳唯一能够仰仗的中锋,努力吧。

阿尔沙文的进球越位了,但是裁判没有看见,在球场上裁判说了算。如果这个进球不是花哨的脚后跟儿,我仍然会像以前那样大叫不算不算,但是既然这么漂亮的一个杂耍,让它留在历史的记忆中又有什么不可以呢,反正进一个也是3分,进两个还是3分,在阿森纳所在的这个小组里,大可不必为了这么一个小分而争吵吧。

大半夜的爬起来跑到厕所用手机上网,3点多的时候阿森纳的比赛才刚刚开始,只看到了首发的名单,但是另一条消息让我颇为惊讶,国米又平了,这一次穆里尼奥还能说些什么呢?莫拉蒂本身为了减轻他的压力,已经放弃了随队,莫拉蒂还能隐忍多久呢?

欧洲杯第二十三场:雷哈格尔的耻辱

2008欧洲杯 No Comments »

  西班牙队主帅阿拉贡内斯对球队的小组赛表现大加赞赏,古伊萨和德拉雷德取得国家队生涯的第一个进球,这让西班牙队以2-1击败希腊队,他们在2008年欧锦赛中继续保持全胜。阿拉贡内斯称球队的表现与之前一样好,他承认球队与意大利队的交锋是欧锦赛上最艰难的四分之一决赛对阵。希腊队主帅雷哈格尔带着失望离开比赛,但他对自己挑选的出战名单没有“任何后悔”。

  阿拉贡内斯,西班牙队主帅

  让我们希望我们能发挥出足够好的水平去赢得四分之一决赛。下半场,球员们用场上的努力表现证明了他们良好的身体状态,上半场我们没能踢出需要的节奏,我们在跟着希腊队的节奏走,不过下半场我们表现得就与前两场小组赛一样好,我们获得五六次进球机会,我们本可以进更多的球。我们知道将面对一个强大的对手(意大利队),这将是非常困难的,不过他们会和我们持有同一想法。

  很明显,我们是面对世界冠军——四次世界杯冠军得主,因此这或许是最艰难的四分之一决赛对阵,不过这一阶段的任何对阵都是强队参加的比赛,半决赛将会更艰难。所有已经取得出线权的球队都调整了阵容,因为欧锦赛接下来的赛程非常紧,这意味着球员们能够得到机会来恢复体能。我们现在唯一需要的东西就是积极的态度,我们必须要忘记对手是意大利队或其他球队,我们要考虑胜利。一种积极的想法非常重要,如果我们能拥有这样的想法,我们就会做到这些。

  雷哈格尔,希腊队主帅

  我觉得我们本可以在这场比赛中得到一个平局,球员们已经努力,我们创造出不少好机会。不过很不幸,当西班牙队施压时,我们的收缩有些太大了。总体来说,球队们成功做到了训练中所谈到的事情,我认为最后一场比赛中我们也有很好的表现。西班牙队的控球时间更长,这就是我们失掉第二个球的原因。很明显我们在1-0领先时,我们有很多球员都发挥得很好,每个人都想赢得比赛胜利,可惜我们未能抓住机会取得2-1的领先。我们是那种破门能力不强的球队,这是我以前就说过的。

  对于我挑选的阵容,我不感到后悔,我觉得我们做出了正确的选择。我们输给俄罗斯队,他们今晚击败了瑞典队,西班牙队拥有出色的球员,他们一直都是这样,瑞典队也有出色的球员。我们不必为无法击败这些球队而感到惭愧,我们说过自己将会竭尽全力看看究竟能做到什么,我们并没有说自己能以3-0、4-0和6-0赢得胜利。这时我们必须要面对发生的一切,在欧锦赛结束后我们可以开始分析情况,并开始考虑世界杯预选赛。

欧洲杯第二十三场:逆转,逆转

2008欧洲杯 No Comments »

  古伊萨和德拉雷德各自打进第一个国家队进球,帮助西班牙2-1逆转希腊,以全胜战绩挺进2008欧锦赛1/4决赛。

  逆转

  古伊萨终场前2分钟在无人防守的情况下接应加西亚的传中头球破门,帮助西班牙在下半场完成了逆转。查理斯迪亚斯上半场结束前头球破门为希腊队首开纪录,但西班牙下半场开始发威,先是阿隆索击中门柱,接着德拉雷德在61分钟接到古伊萨的头球摆渡一脚劲射扳平比分。此后古伊萨和德拉雷德又有破门机会,而查理斯迪亚斯也在比赛末段击中了门柱外侧,最终还是古伊萨打进了决定胜负的一球。

  紧张的尼科波利迪斯

  由于两队已经提前一轮确定了在D组中的最终排名,这场比赛实际上已经没有多少意义。希腊队门将尼科波利迪斯在上一场出现致命失误导致希腊不敌俄罗斯队提前出局后宣布将退出国家队,但今天仍以队长身份出战。开场后尼科波利迪斯一度有些紧张,但仍出色的接连化解了古伊萨的几次攻势。

  阿隆索超远吊射

  西班牙在控球上占优,不过加西亚和法布雷加斯都没有很好的利用这个优势。上半场中段,阿隆索险些让尼科波利迪斯再次受辱,在尼科波利迪斯弃门而出的时候,阿隆索在本方半场超远距离吊射空门,可惜球擦着横梁右上角偏出。

  查理斯迪亚斯首开纪录

  卫冕冠军希腊队则攻势寥寥,通常只能通过定位球制造威胁。但他们在上半场结束前三分钟取得了领先,卡拉古尼斯开出任意球,查理斯迪亚斯头球攻破了西班牙球门。西班牙队几乎在下半场一开始就扳平比分,阿隆索的大力攻门让尼科波利迪斯无可奈何,但球又一次被横梁挡出。

  转折点

  希腊队的好运没能延续多久,60分钟刚过德拉雷德便扳平了比分,此后双方各有机会,但最终完成破门的是古伊萨,他的绝杀进球帮助西班牙带着全胜战绩迎接周日对意大利的1/4决赛。而卫冕冠军希腊队则只能带着三连败回家。

欧洲杯第十六场:奥托大帝低头

2008欧洲杯 No Comments »

  在1-0击败卫冕冠军希腊后,俄罗斯主帅希丁克赞扬了球队的反弹,但对多次浪费机会险些断送三分仍心有余悸。而失望和痛苦的希腊主帅雷哈格尔则因为球员的表现而得到一些安慰。

  俄罗斯主帅希丁克:

  我为球队感到非常自豪。我们在1-4输给西班牙后进行了一些高强度的训练,今天我对球员们的反弹表现感到满意。这个比分反映了我们踢出了正确的足球,防守上我们每个人都做得很好。有一些有可能造成麻烦的错误,不过也可能是我过于苛求了。在足球比赛中有一种规律,那就是当你浪费良机时,结果可能就会对你不利。我们本该用自己的快速进攻提前结束比赛,在国家队比赛中当你创造了五到六次良机,你就必须把握住他们。我们在本小组内不被看好,因为我们的经验不足,但不被看好的球队也能踢出好球。日尔科夫和比尔亚莱特迪诺夫有些问题,我不知道接下来几天他们能否痊愈。至于阿尔沙文的回归,能让出色的球员出战总是好事。我们还可以踢得更好,我们还必须学习,我们必须去战斗,要求每个人都做出贡献。这对于每位球员来说都是巨大的经验,俄罗斯足球正在进步,因此国家队踢出好的表现将非常重要。

  希腊主帅雷哈格尔:

  这是一场非常高强度的比赛。我们今天踢得比对瑞典队时好。不幸的是,我们还是无法取得进球,这正是我们开局时试图进行紧逼防守的原因,因为那样我们将有机会争取反击进球。我们不是那种一场比赛能进三个球的球队,我喜欢我们球队的激情,事实上尽管俄罗斯队实力更出色,我们的球员还是尽力去战斗了。我自己当球员时就和俄罗斯球队交过几次手,我知道他们都是快速的出色球员。我们当然希望取得更好的结果,但我们还和西班牙和瑞典同组,我此前就知道我们不可能轻松晋级。最重要的是看到球员们的贡献。他们一直战斗到了最后时刻。我告诉球员们他们要付出全力,他们做到了,但我们还是输了。我不能指责任何人。我们输给了一支拥有出色前锋的好球队。任何对阵俄罗斯队的球队都会被震惊。回首2004年,我们创造了奇迹,那种奇迹通常30年才发生一次。如果每一次都发生,那就不叫奇迹了。现在我们要全力备战对西班牙的比赛,我们有义务尽自己的全力踢好最后一战。

  奥托大帝的低头

  雷哈格尔年纪大了,已经不能够轻易控制自己的情绪。奥托大帝不允许有任何人胆敢挑战他的权威,于是在新闻发布会上才和记者面对面的干起仗来,事情到了这步田地,基本上可以断定无论雅典娜的光环能够照耀多么遥远,希腊的斗士们都将必须接受失败的结局。雷哈格尔率先崩溃,不安的情绪像是流感一样肆虐了整个希腊军团。无论在场上多么的努力,始终无法敲开西伯利亚的城门。斗战胜佛卡拉贡内斯的商场也无法将希腊从悬崖上拉回来,一次次的远射均无功而返。奥托大帝终于肯低头了,奇迹如果时常发生,那还真的就不能叫做奇迹了。

  依旧神奇的希丁克

  希丁克就是希丁克,不论他的士兵摆出个什么阵型,最后取胜的总少不了他。之前一轮比赛结束之后我还在揶揄希丁克没有尽早到切尔西,反而过了没几天斯科拉里就抢了先,而这场比赛之后,我却发现,原来俄罗斯人淘汰了英格兰并不是运气使然。帕甫柳琴科的确不是好对付的,全场比赛进行到了最后的时刻,这个身高1米88的大个子仍然在场上奔跑如飞,难道这就是传说中的希丁克独家秘方——跑不死——的神奇药效?不过说实话,比赛并没有太多的可看,如说经典,本届欧洲杯必将留下无数的精彩回眸,但这场比赛中所占的并不会太多。希丁克下一次要碰瑞典了,看看你的年轻人怎么迈过这个坎儿吧。

欧洲杯第十六场:圣斗士大溃败

2008欧洲杯 No Comments »

  希丁克表示球队的年轻小将日里亚诺夫进步神速,后者的进球帮助俄罗斯在2008欧锦赛D组第二轮1-0力克卫冕冠军希腊,将希腊队提前淘汰出局。两支球队在首轮失利后相遇,最终俄罗斯队更胜一筹。

  尼科波利迪斯犯错

  全场唯一一个进球源自希腊门将尼科波利迪斯的一次错误出击,他在33分钟时离开球门试图去化解一个没有威胁的传中球,为此付出了代价。俄罗斯队长瑟马克抢在尼科波利迪斯之前将球倒勾传到球门前,日里亚诺夫轻松将球送入空门。

  持续的威胁

  腹股沟伤愈的帕夫柳琴科首发出场,他在比赛中不断的威胁希腊球门,在14分钟率先发难,在禁区角一脚射门被尼科波利迪斯飞身扑出。接下来的角球,日尔科夫的射门偏离目标。俄罗斯队在开局阶段占据了上风。

  塞姆索夫解围

  希腊队上半场最接近俄罗斯球门的机会出现20分钟,但查理斯迪亚斯没能接应到队长巴西纳斯开出的任意球。塞姆索夫匆忙中将球解围,球弹到他的脚后打中了他的脸,然后才被清出危险区域。

  帕夫柳琴科的机会

  下半场帕夫柳琴科继续威胁尼科波利迪斯,他的两次射门都被后者挡出,此后他又连过两名后卫突入禁区,但一脚射门打在边网上。希腊队加强了攻势,巴西纳斯在55分钟得到进球良机,但他的近距离左脚射门打高。

  希腊队惨遭淘汰

  俄罗斯的防守反击始终威胁着希腊队的球门,帕夫柳琴科聪明的脚后跟传球为比尔亚莱特迪诺夫创造了机会,但后者的射门偏离目标。比赛末段希腊队本有可能被拉大比分,但都一一躲过噩运,他们的格卡斯最终也将球打进了俄罗斯球门,但被判越位在先。最终希腊队0-1落败提前被淘汰。俄罗斯小组赛最后一轮将对阵瑞典,他们需要取胜才能晋级,而希腊则将对阵目前小组第一的西班牙队。

欧洲杯第八场:龟孙儿雷哈格尔与圣伊布

2008欧洲杯 No Comments »

  在瑞典2-0击败卫冕冠军之后,希腊主帅雷哈格尔哀叹球队缺乏紧迫感和创造力,而瑞典主帅拉格贝克则认为近乎完美的防守和伊布“世界级”的进球帮助球队取得了胜利。

  希腊主帅雷哈格尔:

  很不幸,我们的一些球员没有踢出我期望的水平。他们非常努力,但遗憾的是这不足以对抗瑞典队。我对后防线上四位球员过多的互相传球感到不满,你可以传一两次,但你不能一直这样传,好像要把比赛拖到加时赛那样。我希望球员们能向前推进,但他们没有做到。我们要承认对手赢得了对抗,在一对一时也占据上风。他们比我们更加快速,我们的中场传递耗费了太多时间。如果我们改用别的战术,我们可能上半场就落后五球了,由于我们的清道夫战术,上半场比分是0-0,而且我们有机会进球。当然我们希望进球,当我想数据表明我们并不是擅长进球的球队。我们必须先严密的防守再寻找进球机会。很不幸,我们不像德国队那样拥有那么多的进攻潜力。

  瑞典队主帅拉格贝克:

  球员们踢出了杰出的表现。希腊队是一支非常难对付的球队,我们非常努力的提前紧逼他们。我们知道首战取胜非常重要,我们做到了。我们也知道希腊有可能踢五名后卫,我们认为伊布和拉尔森会引起对方的高度重视,我们为此做好了准备。希腊队在体能上和技术上都非常出色,这是一场艰苦的比赛。伊布的进球非常漂亮,首先那次传球非常出色,接着伊布的射门是世界级的。能看到这样的进球真是美妙。取胜当然比战平或者失利好,但现在一切都还没有结束。尽管我们晋级的可能比赛前大了一些,但我们至少需要4分。从防守上说,我们全队表现的都很好,希腊队是一支非常有威胁的球队,尤其是在定位球中,但我们的所有防守球员都表现的很出色。全队都踢得很好,虽然还没达到完美,但也非常接近了。

  雷哈格尔的无耻

  雷哈格尔把后防线的龌龊归罪于队员,我想应该是极为不公允的,作为卫冕冠军,希腊人没有表现出足够的霸气,甚至企图卫冕的决心。如果没有主教练的授意,难道圣斗士们主动放弃进攻,而选择了在沉默中被杀死?雷哈格尔害怕瑞典人,害怕伊布拉希莫维奇,正是由于他的胆怯才让北欧人得逞。几个镜头看下去,其实希腊的后防线队形保持非常好,包括中场的几位球员也都非常积极的参与着密集防守,与后防线保持着非常微妙的距离,如果不是雷哈格尔要求队员们以守为主,龟缩不前,怎么可能几乎所有的队员都像是腰上绑了秤坨,死托在后?说明白些就是雷哈格尔在掩饰自己的战术失败,你已经把德国人的血性丢失了,年纪也不小了,我看该回家看看孙子啦。

  伊布,伊布,伊布!

  神射手伊布拉希莫维奇一箭穿心,堪称本届欧洲杯开幕以来最最最漂亮的一个进球。禁区角上的大力抽射让希腊门将毫无办法,天马流星拳般的迅捷。再等几天伊布就要碰到比利亚,瑞典人就要撞上西班牙人,两只漂亮的球队,必将碰撞出激烈的火花,小组第一的争夺从第一场便变得异彩纷呈。伊布,圣卡西利亚斯在等着你,你已经踩过了圣斗士的尸体,那么就更加勇敢些面对西班牙斗牛士的铜墙铁壁吧。
