6/8/2008 杜伊把中国足球搞成宫外孕? Just an Abominable Match?关于宫外孕，请见这里。 如果某一天，你听说武藤兰怀了宫外孕，你的第一反应是什么？——“额…拍那么多片，遇上这等事儿也算正常！” 62岁的塞尔维亚老头杜伊科维奇一不小心把足球之夜派去国家队的跟对记者陆幽搞成了宫外孕，比事情本身更复杂或者说更令人寻味的是，这个“精力”十足老头同时也把男足国家队搞成了宫外孕。 如果你因此替陆幽感到惋惜，那就大错特错了。陆幽身为国家队首席跟队记者，本应该尽心尽力为球迷和球队之间搭建桥梁，却忙里偷闲和主教练发生暧昧关系，原本就是件不地道的事情，再加上她与张斌先前就有前科，让人不得不对她的人品产生怀疑。胡紫薇大闹发布会的时候陆幽应该正和杜伊打得火热吧，有想目睹陆幽芳容的看这里。 同理，如果你觉得这一朝国家队被杜伊糟蹋了，继而气急败坏大骂杜伊这个杂种，也是不全面的，因为中国足球的“生理结构”先天缺陷，加上后天也不注意保养，生活糜烂，这次怀了宫外孕，生不出个孩子，情理之中的事情！ 我刚刚进入大学那会，带着高中上晚自习时还用收音机收听比赛的赤胆忠心，对国家队充满幻想，因为那个时候国家队在郝海东的带领下偶尔还能雄起一下、射进去几个，让人春心荡漾。2004年11月17日在广州，尽管小兄弟香港队鼎力相助，但是由于中东和南洋的两个鸟国联袂出阴招，“痿大”中国国家队还是没有能够顺利怀孕小组出线。连玩阴谋的玩不过人家，让人哭笑不得。至今，脑海里时常还能浮现时龄27岁的李金羽绝望地抱着头坐在地上时的情景。 彼时的我，就像不知道武藤兰她们都是在伪装一样，哪里明白国家队乃至中国足球只是足协领导这个老鸨搞政绩的一个“器具”。快要四年过去了，从阎世铎到谢亚龙，从上来就一通乱搞然后穿上裤子拍屁股走人，到上来之后什么实事也不干到处走穴，从网络里，我看清了中国足球没有穿衣服的样子。 从阿里汉到朱广沪到杜伊科维奇，足协用白花花的银子请来的这些嫖客，几乎有着同样的癖好——毫无章法地“变换体位”，没有见到谁真正地拿出一套相对固定的主力和替补阵容。巅峰时期，男足国家队一年进进出出一百多号人，恰似一群太监上青楼。那位皮肤白皙的国内嫖客，甚至到亚洲杯的时候，都没有找到合适的让大家都舒服的体位，一场比赛，一个阵容。而足协领导，不管是阎某还是谢某，却离奇地利用媒体对这些嫖客进行造神般的宣传。试问，中国足球，自作孽，怎可活？ 2008年6月7日，两个月后的奥运场馆，天津水滴体育场，6万球迷，带着四川地震尚未抚平的伤痛，齐声同唱《义勇军进行曲》，而体育场中央的国家队，失败早已经注定。在杜伊新的体位下，国家队没有喘气，没有高潮。韩鹏的哭泣，李玮峰的无奈，一如几年前的李金羽，他们是忠臣，同时也是冤臣。我真的替中国足球悲哀，本来就“发育不良”，还要接待那些畜生般的嫖客，自己的鸨母也丝毫不怜惜，更要命的是自己还很淫荡。 白岩松说，“谢谢中国足球，让我们再一次轻装上阵”，我赞同。只是就目前这样的体制，别说四年，恐怕四十年也洗不清污秽的名声。 中国足球向来都不是一个人在战斗，不是一个人在DIY，而是在一场错综复杂的群P中，愈发地迷失。 5/20/2007 My storyHi, my name is Huang liangxi and this is my story, I could still recall the summer of ’98, When I got my first ever jersey as a graduation gift from Dad That was the most exciting period in my childhood, ’Coz the Brazil No.9 shirt gave me inspiration of playing better. I liked playing with guys from higher grades, however, They said I would be an outstanding goalkeeper rather than a common striker. Since then Instead of running restlessly on the pitch, I stood behind the defense line, Making our team impregnable. It was Grade Three of senior middle school when I won my first title. But that was my last glorious memory about football. After entering university, All things changed even my position, Due to the awful turf. I gave away my gloves and Became a free man, Which was once my dream. Good players were everywhere, I realized that I was still a green hand. I was given no chance and Free from any honor. Of course I needed confidence and to be strengthened. I’ve experienced the cloudiest days since I touched football. More unfortunately I was injured not long before and Required a long time for recovery. Well, as everything runs counter to my willingness, I can’t go in the opposite direction to myself. Things won’t automatically get better, Nothing may change for you until you change yourself. Impossible is nothing. All Rights Reserved by Huang Liangxi&ADIDAS ©2007 ADIDAS 和足球一起走过的日子 Days with Soccer黄良喜喜欢足球，爱踢足球，这一点凡是他的朋友都知道。 但故事总不可能全是令人欢欣的。 ——题记 我最早接触足球要追溯到小学五年级，记得那年我的同窗好友王长虹因为跑步速度快入选了校足球队，而我没有。我和他是形影不离的朋友，看着他每天放学后去球场训练，我很不甘，所以自己就独自偷偷地练习足球。说实话，当时我们那所小学的足球氛围真是不怎么样，因此一直到小学毕业，像我这样没有入选足球队的足球爱好者也没有怎么上过学校的足球场踢过球,不是因为不想,而是因为没有人愿意和我踢。 我拥有第一件球衣大约是在1998年下半年。彼时,法国世界杯刚刚落下帷幕，世界各地还回荡着足球热，当然也包括我们那样的足球落后得狠（注意:我故意没有用"很"）的地方。小学毕业的那年暑假，我跟爸爸去苏州，在观前街一个服装摊位看到了那件黄色的巴西队9号球衣，我一直站在那件衣服前面，久久不肯离去。爸爸看出了我的心思，很爽快的买下了它送给我做毕业礼物。当时我的心情不言而喻，巴西是那届世界杯的亚军，9号罗纳尔多是巴西队的主力前锋——我的偶像。在回家的车上，我一直抱着那件球衣，虽然还没有开学，我已经在憧憬我穿上罗纳尔多的衣服在球场上奔跑的情景。 上了初中才发现，原来镇里中学的连个完整的足球场都没有，我们不得不还回到小学的球场上去。上了初中，我已经开始长身体了，不再像小学那么瘦弱，踢球也开始缓慢的进步。那个时候，球场上最多的是一帮高中生，我一个初一学生，却敢冲，敢拼，敢抢，再加上我穿着罗纳尔多的球衣，渐渐的我被赐予“小罗纳尔多” 的美誉。九八、九九年的时候，真正的小罗（罗纳尔迪尼奥）也因为在美洲杯上大放异彩开始被众人所知晓，而在我们那个圈子中，人们说的最多的“小罗”还是指我。可是我毕竟是个“小孩”，身体还是拼不过那些高中生，无奈只能选择去守门。转型为守门员之后，我保持了勇敢的作风，敢作动作、敢扑球。和比我年龄大的人在一起踢久了，渐渐地我也得到了较大的锻炼，守门的技术也日趋进步。每次踢球，我就成为守门员的不二人选，别人都放心我守门，鼓励我做得更好。就这样，我彻底成为一个门将，一个穿9号球衣绰号“小罗”的门将。一守就是两年多，一直到了高中。 我的高中是一所省级重点中学，学生都是来自全市各个镇的学习精英。当然这其中不缺乏足球高手。每个星期的两节体育课成了我的节日，因为我可以和更多的人踢球，和更厉害的人较量。没过多久，我的守门的名声就在同学中传开了。其实我一直不觉得我守门怎么样，况且到了一个相对大的环境里，肯定会有人外人存在。可是，守门员这个位子，一般人不愿意去打，因为很容易受伤。所以像我那样勇于打那个位置的人可以很快建立自己的地位。别的班听说我们班有一个我这样的守门员，都想和我们班试试。当时我在一班，是体育委员，每次体育课就约别的班级比赛，从二班一直扫到九班，无人能敌。到最后遇到的是十班，尽管同桌提醒我十班的蔡东坡是个狠角色，但前几场积累的自信让我没有听同桌的劝告。结果我们真的输了，我记得我当时回去哭了，郁闷了很久。后来我想明白了，像十班那样才是真正的对手，他们班由真正会踢球的，别的班都是纸老虎。在那以后又约了十班踢了几场，仍然还是以失利告终。高二，我因为成绩跟不上从一班退了出来（很遗憾），到了新的班级，但足球生命还在继续。高二下学期我当选了校足球协会主席，当时我就想搞一个年级足球联赛。这个想法在高三上学期得以实现。年级分了八个队，论实力，我们队连前三都进不了。由于我第一次组织那样的活动，经验欠缺，所以活动有时出些小问题，我也得罪了一些人。我们队一路赢下来，场上比赛全是0:0，全都是点球决战获胜。最后决赛的对手是我的好友黄飞带领的队伍。比赛结果，场上比分0:0，点球决战我们胜利。我们场上比赛一球未进却拿了一个年级冠军。体育组给我们队发了个冠军的旗帜，我们队员拿着旗帜合影，欢呼。我把它挂在我们班的黑板上方。我坐最后一桌，一抬头就可以看到那面旗帜。（高考前收拾教室时忘了收起那面旗帜，后来去找已经没有了。）很多人不服气，说我们队就靠我这么个守门员。我听了那些话，最多的不是骄傲，而是获得一种自信，本想凭这种自信能在高三最后的学习中有所突破，并且在上大学后也能施展拳脚。（记得快毕业前，一个在我们学校借读的南京的学弟找到我，问我要我的球衣，我就把我那件陪我夺冠的中国队10号球衣送给他，他还让我在领子上签了名。后来我看到他穿了我那件衣服在打篮球，想想也真好笑） 来到农大，一切出乎我的意料，东区的足球场上竟然连一根草都没有，而且布满了大沙硕，根本不能倒地扑球，否则膝盖就完了。高中的时候我一直希望自己可以有一天不再守门，而是在场上奔跑。在看到那球场之后，我彻底打消了继续守门的念头，从那以后，我开始忘记我以前所有的守门经历。刚开始在大学踢球，我没有固定的位子，每次踢球也就是根据需要。我的性格，我真正要做一件事，一定会全力付出。尽管我的脚下技术很差，意识根本没有，位置感也不好，但我总希望通过自己不惜体力的奔跑去弥补。而事实上，我那样的做法收效甚微。有时候我根本拿不住球，看不紧人。大一不知所措地踢了一年，没有找到什么感觉。虽然我很早接触足球，但在场上我和一个刚开始踢球的人没有什么区别。但是我并没有放弃，因为我喜欢足球，我要从足球那里得到快乐。大二的时候我渐渐的能踢出些像样的球来，也开始对踢球而不是“守球”有了新的认识。我们宿舍的湖南籍同学陈国栋球踢得不错，我总能从他那里学到东西，也明白了全国各个地区的足球水平是有很大差异的。那时候学校搞足球联赛，我们一届又四个人入选院队，刘正煌，王宇尘，陈国栋，张晖明。说真的，我很羡慕。后来院队拿了季军，捧了奖杯，拍了照。可是这个与足球有关的荣誉与我毫无关系。无奈。实力不行，连看的机会都没有。大三了，我踢球比大二又有进步。刘正煌组新院队了，招我了，我去开会了，我也发言了，我实在想珍惜这个来之不易的迟到的机会。我暗自告诉自己，要好好努力，争取有机会上场，我要证明，我是行的。大三上学期球队的训练，我有时间的，我都去了。那时候每个星期二我们专业要去北航实习一天，晚上回学校我照样去操场训练。上学期没有什么正式比赛，院队只能靠友谊赛来保持状态。这样的比赛对我来说是很宝贵的锻炼机会，我渴望上场。可是院队踢得那几场比赛我还是没有什么机会上场，甚至连对手是哪个院的都没有记住。即使在场边我望眼欲穿，还是没有能够有足够的时间在场上找感觉。我急了，难道我真是个鸡肋吗？连给个锻炼的机会都不行吗？有段时间我的确在心里抱怨过。尽管刚开始我在安慰自己，那是时机不成熟。但后来，我明白了，我没有绝对的实力，也没有绝对的关系，更没有绝对的威信，凭什么有机会呢？院里有个哥们，踢球的时候老是不跑动，很不积极。我问他，你跑动那么不积极，来踢球干什么？他回答“Football is just for fun”“玩玩嘛”我一开始对他的这种对足球的态度很不耻，认为他不配站在球场上，甚至不配做男人。但后来想想却觉得他说的很有道理，有些事情不能钻牛角尖，想开了什么烦恼都没有。回忆我初中时候踢球，不也是和那帮高中生寻个开心嘛！只是我寻开心也很认真罢了。我性子直，不会变通，什么事情都直来直去，了解我的朋友可以理解，不了解我的人，往往觉得我很傻X，不是个严肃的人。前几天在高雷雷（由于和国安教练组的公开矛盾，现被国安租借到芬兰迈帕队）的博客（ http://gaoleilei.blog.sohu.com/ ）上看到一段话，觉得有必要像他学习： ＂骂人的能理解,鼓励的非常感谢!高雷雷踢球是玩,是乐趣!不是为了谁?也不是想非要进去哪的队才能满足!我就是这么一人,我觉得不那么靠谱的事或人,管他谁能?该骂就骂,该佩服就佩服!我的朋友都知道我是个事儿少的人,也清楚我非常容易接近,可这也分两说?要是真给我惹怒了,就是天王老子我也不屌他!坦率的讲我内心承载的没有那么多远大的志向,唯一让自己操心的事儿就是在有限的足球生命里尽可能的延续它,能有地方踢就知足了! 很多朋友都劝过我的性格,说你要改改早进什么什么队了!我不是很服气,我就非保持这样的性格玩出个样儿来!我是个较劲的人,看见南墙了,咱不绕,也不跳,就直接撞过去,管他是死是活?打击多了,不上场,诬陷,诋毁,挑拨等等等等他奶奶的算个屁啊!我出来玩的原因不是想去哪镀金,咱是想找个耳根子清静的地方玩球,踏踏实实的玩几年干净足球是咱真正出来的目的!虽说钱没国内多,但心情好啊!心情好了不得病,心情好了少挣点儿就少挣点儿,多少是多啊?咱目标不高,比在东单踢野球的哥儿几个强,人家是花钱踢,咱是管吃管住,还给点零花钱!这不挺好的!人活着不就那么回个事吗?买别墅你站那么大点儿地方,搭个帐篷也站那么大点儿地方!搭帐篷还环保呢!人总说开心就好?说的容易,谁面对金钱的时候真的能做到放弃金钱的诱惑选择开心啊?咱牛是牛在这儿了!不是因为出来就了不起,出来谁会不谈钱的踢?谁会放着国内俱乐部上百万的合同不拿?(当然不是北京队给我的合同)咱做到了!该骄傲的时候也骄傲一把!人老那么委曲求全,低调过活没意思!是啥样子就是啥样子! 回来一周时间了,难得坐下来思考些什么!一个运动员最该做的是什么?是奔跑在那块儿喜爱的足球场,简简单单,快快乐乐!可想拥有一个属于自己的舞台太难了,对于中国球员更是渴望而不可及!我是从小在学校长大的,不懂那么多是非,一件简单的事就应该用简单的方式去解决,这是我一直以来对问题的幼稚想法!直到今天,忙碌在丰体…经纪人身边…京城大厦…等等地方的我,再也不会相信本来单纯而简单的事仍然会用简单的方式解决掉!已经远离足球场的我,不知道现在登上足球场会是什么状态?而这又是那么让人无奈,看着学校里的孩子在无忧无虑的踢球,自己竟然开始羡慕,可等他们长大的时候等待的又什么呢?心里对他们说好好享受现在的快乐足球吧!等你们真正踏上这条路的时候,足球的快乐将从此远离你们! 这些天我身边的朋友都劝我不要再更新博客了,少说话!我在这里谢谢他们!知道都是为我好!可有心里话憋着不说,那还是我吗?我不想做别人眼中的自己!既然问题出了,就去面对,一旦做了决定就没那么多可后悔的!毕竟有得到就会有失去!咱不是那个没事就冲到最前面,有事就变缩头乌龟的人!事情没有那么顺利怪不到谁头上,只能说我们的体制太不利于球员发展,球员的位置太过低下,这是足球发展的必经之路,既然让我赶上了就去勇敢的面对并解决!再辛苦也不会放弃!＂ 高雷雷的性格和我相似，他的话大部分代表了我的观点，踢球是一种快乐。为什么要背负那么多烦恼。上个月郁闷的院内比赛，有一场踢了没有几分钟左脚膝盖十字韧带受了严重的伤，要休息很长时间。这算我一直以来受的最严重的伤。借这一个多月的时间，脑子想了很多，终于想明白一些事情。正如现在热播的一段广告： Hi, I’m Gilbert Arenas and this is my story, 昨天Xiaonei上，几个朋友问我，现在为什么不守门了，以上的所有文字刚好可以解释。真的很感激还有人记得我高中的历史，甚至我自己都已经快忘却了。 今天母亲节，母爱万岁！ 5/10/2007 高雷雷的几句话 Some Words from Gao Leilei 以前不熟悉高雷雷,最近经常看他的博客,看了他写的东西,越看越会产生强烈的共鸣,似乎离他很近.他不是中国最好的足球运动员,但我很欣赏他对于足球的态度.也许我现在所需要的,正是他这种豁达开朗的心境...
"骂人的能理解,鼓励的非常感谢!高雷雷踢球是玩,是乐趣!不是为了谁?也不是想非要进去哪的队才能满足!我就是这么一人,我觉得不那么靠谱的事或人,管他谁能?该骂就骂,该佩服就佩服!我的朋友都知道我是个事儿少的人,也清楚我非常容易接近,可这也分两说?要是真给我惹怒了,就是天王老子我也不屌他!坦率的讲我内心承载的没有那么多远大的志向,唯一让自己操心的事儿就是在有限的足球生命里尽可能的延续它,能有地方踢就知足了!
很多朋友都劝过我的性格,说你要改改早进什么什么队了!我不是很服气,我就非保持这样的性格玩出个样儿来!我是个较劲的人,看见南墙了,咱不绕,也不跳,就直接撞过去,管他是死是活?打击多了,不上场,诬陷,诋毁,挑拨等等等等他奶奶的算个屁啊!我出来玩的原因不是想去哪镀金,咱是想找个耳根子清静的地方玩球,踏踏实实的玩几年干净足球是咱真正出来的目的!虽说钱没国内多,但心情好啊!心情好了不得病,心情好了少挣点儿就少挣点儿,多少是多啊?咱目标不高,比在东单踢野球的哥儿几个强,人家是花钱踢,咱是管吃管住,还给点零花钱!这不挺好的!人活着不就那么回个事吗?买别墅你站那么大点儿地方,搭个帐篷也站那么大点儿地方!搭帐篷还环保呢!人总说开心就好?说的容易,谁面对金钱的时候真的能做到放弃金钱的诱惑选择开心啊?咱牛是牛在这儿了!不是因为出来就了不起,出来谁会不谈钱的踢?谁会放着国内俱乐部上百万的合同不拿?(当然不是北京队给我的合同)咱做到了!该骄傲时候也骄傲一把!人老那么委曲求全,低调过活没意思!是啥样子就是啥样子!"——高雷雷( http://gaoleilei.blog.sohu.com/ ). 3/21/2007 (1+1<2) VS (1-1>2)对于朱骏简直是莫大的讽刺,他不久前刚刚买下的上海申花败在了一支印尼球队的脚下.以他的财力,几乎可以买下100支那样的印尼球队.今年年初,朱骏买下了上海申花,将她与原来的联城俱乐部合并.申花在中国足坛摸爬滚打多年,底蕴雄厚;联城上赛季曾经一度打的非常好,让许多球迷刮目相看.而且还冒出了上赛季联赛最佳新人——朱老板花200万买下的王大雷.这么两只球队的合并,按理来讲,应该实力出众.我甚至还打算这赛季好好关注一下这只上海滩的球队,因为该队云集了众多我喜欢的球员.王大雷,李玮峰,杜威,郜林,毛剑卿...可惜的是,从这赛季开赛以来的几场比赛来看,一个词形容,那就是——失望!商人朱骏的这笔买卖至少到目前来看,是不值得的.辜负了球迷,辜负了球队. 再看看相距1000公里开外的山东鲁能,今年联赛之前刚刚放走了绝对核心郑智,但在国内外联赛中,丝毫没有实力下降的显示.2003年世少赛上的那个王永珀,现在俨然成为了ZZ的接班人,成为了鲁能自己培养的球员中的典范.今天他的一脚倒勾,必定成为他的又一个起点,也许他以及鲁能在向人们昭示,中国下一个中场霸王横空出世了! 上海申花,赶快振作起来吧!王大雷们赶紧振作起来吧! 山东鲁能继续奏凯吧!李金羽们愈战愈勇吧! 11/6/2006 国青之死 The Death of Hope国青对约旦的比赛我根本没有打算看,自从前几天和阿联酋那场比赛之后,我就发誓今年不看国字号的比赛了.
当我作CAD作业到11点的时候,心想比赛也快结束了,就上网看看新闻.1:2落后.我心里有种莫名其妙的快感.失败意味着参加不了明年在加拿大举行的世界青年锦标赛——青年俊才的舞台.
可怜的中国足球,又一批"希望之星"死在路上.去年在荷兰发生的事,一次次被我们提及,几乎成为我这个年龄的爱国球迷唯一能拿的出来的谈资.
可怜的足协领导,你可曾认识到,中国足球的希望岂是在仅仅一两批青少年队身上,这需要几代人不懈的努力;中国足球的兴盛,又岂是奥运会前的紧急磨枪能最终实现的,这需要几十年兢兢业业的学习.想靠某只队伍在某届比赛取得好成绩又怎么可能证明中国足球的强大.国青国少的球员们压力太大,功利的出线足球,本不是他们那个年龄应该承受的.
享受足球,愿中国的青少年球员,当然也包括90年出生的那批仅有的100多个在足协注册的,甚至包括郑智他们,能够有朝一日能做到.请足协领导给个机会,我代表中国千千万万经常浪费时间看国家队比赛的球迷谢谢你们! 11/4/2006 布冯的礼物 Gigi's Gift昨天去一教上课,顺便去收发室转转.不写信已经很久了,也很久没有去收室了,想去看看那里有没有我"遗漏"的信,顺便和那里的老师打个招呼.
进去之后在那里无聊的走了一圈,自然来到我们班的信箱前面.本来是不打算看的,再说我也没有钥匙.正在我准备走的时候,突然发现信箱底部露出一个白色的信封边,我想该不会是哪个同学的吧,我顺便帮他带回去,于是就小心的把信封拽了出来.那出来一看,信封上竟然写着我的名字.仔细一看邮戳,是来自意大利的.
虽然我以前给意大利的球星俱乐部写过不少信,但从来没有收到回复过.我觉得很有可能是利沃诺前锋卢卡雷利回的，因为据说他对中国球迷很热情.但当我打开信封之后,发现,里面的照片居然是我大哥布冯的.我一下子明白了,在今年他生日之前我曾经给他写过信,也给他的经济人写过一封,但我根本没有期待会有回复.
这张是今年夏天大哥获得世界杯冠军的时候手捧并亲吻大力神杯时的照片.签名不是亲笔的,而是印刷的,即便这样我也很满足了.毕竟他是我的偶像.高中时我在球场上是守门员,大家有时候拿我和布冯并论,虽然我根本不能和他比.但我在队里的表现也近似与他在尤文的了.我很崇拜他,大概也因为我和他一样是守门员.现在我虽然已经改打别的位置了,但他在我心目中的地位永远没有变.
不写信真的已经很久了,而大哥现在则是陪着尤文在打乙级联赛,替老妇人把守最后一道防线.前几天电话门的审判仲裁结果也出来了,尤文得以大幅度减少罚分.不关怎么样,忠心的祝愿大哥在尤文好运!
8/19/2006 MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS OVER M.U.-YOUNGSTERS下面是英国的<<曼彻斯特晚报>>上一篇关于曼联几个年轻球员的报道.其中包括中国球员董方卓(Currently on loan to Belgian side Royal Antwerp FC) Red Nursery Rhyme:Gary Neville believes that Manchester United are stil one of the world's best nurseries for developing players - and that is something that Chelsea's multi-millions can never buy. The Reds skipper cited the emergence of 18-year-old centrehalf Jonny Evans as proof that the conveyor belt of young talent is still churning out the goods at United's million Academy at Carrington. 1. JONNY EVANS: the 18-year-old Belfast-born stopper is already a Nothern Ireland under-18 international and tipped by Sir Alex Ferguson to win a full cap in the next 18 months. Scored against Celtic in pre-season, impressed greatly in Amsterdam Tournament and now goes for six months with Royal Antwerp. 2. LEE MARTIN: made his United debut in the Carling Cup against Barnet last season, and was in Wimbledon's first team at 16. The non-stop left-sided midfielder, now aged 19, figured in Amsterdam and against Celtic. He returned to Glasgow this week to spend a season on loan with Rangers. 3. DANNY SIMPSON: quick, hard-tackling right back from Eccles who is tipped to push Gary Neville and Phil Bardsley hard for their places. The 19-year-old came on as a sub against Celtic, started against Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa and against Ajax, and will now play in Royal Antwerp for six months. 4. FANGZUO DONG: United fans have had only a brief glimpse of the Chinese youth international, who has spent the last two seasons farmed out to Royal Antwerp, but scored the winner against Kaizer Chiefs in South Africa. Described as "strong, athletic and very quick" by Sir Alex Ferguson. 8/15/2006 我的战靴 My Super Boots这双就是我的战靴>>>>NIKE Air Zoom 90III,购买于2005年3月.
首先,感觉它外表凶悍,战斗力十足,比较适合我对足球鞋的审美观;
其次,它足弓内侧部分触球面积比较大,适合我这种经常用足弓内侧传球的球员; 然后,它运用了新型的人造复合材料,保证我每次对传球的力度和准确性的把握; 再者,在它鞋垫的几个特殊部位,也就是我足部在跑动中对鞋底挤压比较频繁的部位比如脚后跟处,又加了一层防震缓冲垫,这种人性化的设计,不仅提高了它的减震缓冲性能,而且能对足部起到良好的保护作用; 最后,它独特的鞋钉布局,使其减震和启动性能有了进一步的提高,对于我这种冲刺力比较强的球员来说,这意味着如虎添翼. 在买这双鞋之前,我一直对ADIDAS的鞋比较钟爱,毕竟人家做足球鞋半个世纪以上了,而且ADIDAS足球鞋的控球能力确实不错.不管是"猎鹰"系列还是"F50"系列,都是很实用而且很好看的.以前对于NIKE的足球鞋不怎么关注,感觉他们的篮球鞋才是主打产品.而且NIKE的足球鞋也没有几款我觉得好看的."刺客"系列的我没有穿过,但是外表感觉不好看,没有杀气,"90"系列"长相"的还行.不过NIKE这几年在足球领域已经完全可以和ADIDAS叫板,甚至超过他们了.NIKE的球鞋也越来越多的被欧洲大牌球星选中,亨利和罗纳尔多就不说了,还有鲁尼,托雷斯等等.个人感觉这双鞋非常漂亮也很适合我,虽然已经是04下半年左右的旧款了,可一直没有换,甚至有再买一双一模一样的念头.唯一的缺憾是它在边路起球方面对我的帮助不大,这也与它的结构和鞋钉的排列有关.如果是"猎鹰"的或者"F50"的,起球的时候可能会自在许多.边路小飞侠罗本脚上穿的就是"F50"系列的,还有达夫也是,印象中边路球员中穿"90"系列的不多.
The Upper is made from soft, subtle ultralight KNG 75 synthetic leather and has a new asymetric interlacing system to give a superb fit. The midsole has the Air Zoom unit in the heel which provides optimum cushioning and heel fit. The Outsole has a lightweight TPU plate with a molded plate in the case of the firm ground boot and moulded multi directional plate in the case of the astro turf boot. 8/7/2006 贾秀全这个土鳖 Mossbaaaaaaaaaaack Jia又是一场另人失望的比赛,起码中国队输了,输给了小日本.
是我们的球员踢得不好吗?不是，绝对不是，而是他们遇到了一个土包子教练——贾秀全！
贾秀全是中国教练中保守派的代表人物，先锋人物。
虽然早年曾在南斯拉夫踢过球，可他在他身上一点也看不出来有东欧足球风格的影子，更别说先进的欧洲足球了。
我们能够看到的是去年荷兰世青赛上那群才华四溢的小伙子，现在似乎只有莽夫之勇，当然也不完全是这样，他们起码还是创造了几次好机会，可是一个保守的防守派教练怎么会真正地交会球员如何有效地进攻呢？因此，我们看到是，我们一次次的在日本队门口创造机会，却一次次的与进球失之交臂。
去年的世青赛，虽然中国队没有进入八强，但是球队的进攻问题，也是困扰中国足球多年的问题，在德国老帅克劳琛的调教下，一下子消失了。那时候国青队进攻点之多让人叹为观止，球员在场上勇不放弃的精神值得赞颂，注意，这里的永不言弃世指用有效的进攻在落后的情况下反击对手。现在，我们似乎也能看到他们在不知疲倦地奔跑，可是，乱跑有什么用呢？凭什么这个克劳琛那么适合这支队伍的教练一直被足协看不上？贾秀全这个土鳖凭什么执教这些年轻人？中国足协那帮混蛋加蠢驴，凭什么宁愿把钱花在趁世界杯之际公费出国旅游上，而聘请外教之事一拖再拖？贾秀全前年曾经很识相的放下了国青队的教鞭去上海执教，但是后来你又跑回来干什么？我曾经在机场见过刚带队从德国打比赛回来的贾秀全，对他的感觉最深的不是他作为主教练的魄力，而仅仅是他那双噌亮的皮鞋，还有那土包子发型。
姑且不讨论贾秀全的人品，在执教08奥运队这个问题上，他越早回家越好，其实现在已经晚了，关键在如何尽可能多的挽回损失。唯一的解决方法聘请欧洲高水平教练，不惜重金。 8/1/2006 怒吼签下中国国脚前锋 ROAR SIGN CHINESE INTERNATIONAL STRIKER
QUEENSLAND Roar have completed the signing of 29-year-old Chinese international striker, Yuning Zhang. A tall, strong (187cm, 83kg) centre forward who is known for his aerial prowess, Zhang completed his move from top Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenhua late yesterday, the final day of the Hyundai A-League transfer window. Zhang, who enjoys film star status in his homeland, has netted 9 goals in 15 appearances for the Chinese national team and scored over 60 goals in 160 appearances in China’s top division. Speaking through his interpreter, Zhang said he was relishing the new challenge ahead of him. “I am very excited about joining Queensland Roar and I’m looking forward to being part of the Hyundai A-League. This is my second time in Australia but my first time in Queensland and everything I’ve seen so far is very nice. The city is very beautiful and the Queensland Roar players, coaches and staff have all been very friendly towards me. “I didn’t know too much about the Hyundai A-League until I spoke to my friend Shengqing Qu who was at Adelaide United last season. He said that it is a good league and encouraged me to consider it. From what I have seen at training the standard of play is very high,” he said. Queensland enjoys a sister-state relationship with Shanghai, the home of Zhang’s last club. Queensland Government Minister of Sport, Mr Tom Barton, who was joined by the Chinese Consul General Madam Liu Fei, said the signing was an opportunity for Queensland Roar to forge even stronger ties in China. “The State Government is thrilled that Queensland Roar have made this signing and there is no doubt that it will further strengthen cultural and sporting ties with China, particularly with our sister-state, Shanghai. We also hope that it will provide further inspiration and opportunities for Chinese youngsters in Queensland to take part in physical activity,” Mr Barton said. For Roar Coach Miron Bleiberg Zhang provides further ammunition in attack. “He is very strong in the air and has excellent ability. He will give us another dimension up front alongside the likes of Ante Milicic, Simon Lynch and Reinaldo, which will result in a very powerful forward line. We were always looking for another striker and when this opportunity to sign Yuning arose we decided it was too good an opportunity to miss,” Bleiberg said.

这届世界杯让我深刻的认识了足球运动的魅力,足球成了这个夏天的主题.球迷和伪球迷们一起享受了足球带来的疯狂.伪球迷借真球迷的世界杯凑热闹固然可恶,可我们谁生来就是真正的球迷呢?我何尝又不是从四年多前的伪球迷走过来的呢?世界杯成就了冠军,成就了功臣和罪人,同样成就了球迷.向意大利球迷致敬,向荷兰球迷致敬,向所有在世界杯期间为足球歇斯底里并将在世界杯之后继续成长的球迷致敬,愿你们永远享受足球,享受生活!
意大利和法国的比赛,是本届世界杯最关注和为之激动的比赛.因为我知道,这场重量级的较量将是对我大哥布冯的考验也将是他表演的大好时机.结果正如我所料,他在加时赛单手扑出齐达内的头槌攻门为意大利守住了最后一到防线也极大的鼓舞了士气.虽然开场他没有能守住齐达内的勺子点球,在点球大战中他也没有能够扑到对手的球,但他的两次(另一次是扑出亨利的小角度抽射)扑救出运动战中的射门证明了他世界级门将的身份.我相信那两次扑救绝对不是他的灵光诈现而是他的能力所在,那就是优秀门将和一般门将的区别.因为我也曾经是门将,所以我能体会他在场上的感受.世界冠军是对他这个意大利门神的最好的嘉奖了!Campione del mondo! Forza Buffon! Grazie Buffon!
世界杯之后,一批以齐达内为首的老球员将退出国家队甚至是挂靴,留给我们的将是永远的回忆,齐达内,菲戈,保莱塔,科斯蒂那...一路走好,感谢你们为足球做出的巨大贡献.有人离开,也有人进来.值得欢喜的是里贝里,鲁尼,法布雷加斯,C.罗那尔多,梅西,森德罗斯,康韦,波多尔斯基...将在将在接下来几年里踏着他们前辈的脚印,前进!
Forza Buffon, Forza Italia, Merci Zizou, Merci France, Danke Deutschland, Danke Weltmeisterschaft!
世界杯结束,我也将投入到新的紧张的的生活节奏中去.
决赛前后几天我是作息时间极其混乱,白天睡觉,傍晚踢球,再洗澡,上网看电视...原来计划在世界杯结束前把六级单词背完然后再开始背托福单词的,现在连六级的还没有看完,更别说托福的了.不过翻了翻托福的单词书,还认识不少,嘿嘿.不至于紧张就是了.
通过昨天和今天的调整,算是把生物钟彻底调整过来了.这一个月上午一直到十二点得去做家教.后天上午做完家教就得直奔新东方大厦,去领教材,十六号开始真正进入"魔鬼赛程".白天先给别人上课再上别人的课,晚上做作业背单词.
疯狂的暑假开始了! 少上网,多学英语! Forza! Buona Fortuna! 7/10/2006 Germany 2006 - 32 teams, 32 stories Germany 2006 will no doubt be remembered as the fans’ FIFA World Cup™. With millions of people attending public screenings of the event, the atmosphere in the host country was incredible, as people from all over the world took the official motto: ‘A time to make friends’ to heart.
On the pitch, 32 teams battled it out for football’s ultimate prize. Some bowed out after just three games, while France fell at the final hurdle as Italy claimed the crown of ‘world champions’, a description that will be used against their name for the next four years.

Sheffield United Football Club are a football club in The Football League. They were formed in Sheffield, England, in 1889. Their nickname is 'The Blades', which can be seen on the team emblem.
Like their great local rivals, Sheffield Wednesday F.C., Sheffield United began as a cricket club. It was formed in 1854 as the Sheffield United Cricket Club, but was a club without a team. The main task of the club was to manage the then new Bramall Lane sporting enclosure. Sheffield United was the first of the English League clubs to use United in its name (The first English football club to use United, Plymouth United F.C., no longer exists. It was formed in 1886 three years before Sheffield United launched its football team). Sheffield United were a professional club almost from the start, and were admitted to the Football League in 1892. They currently play in the Football League Championship, under manager Neil Warnock, at Bramall Lane, in Sharrow (just south of Sheffield city centre), wearing a strip of red and white striped shirts. Like all clubs, Sheffield United have a great range of songs and chants sung by their fans, including the most notable: their unofficial anthem, The Greasy Chip Butty Song, which is famous and recognised by many as one of the great football anthems. Sang to the tune of Annie's Song, a U.K. number one hit for John Denver in 1974. Another great anthem is the Na na na song, sung when United score a goal at home matches, the song has become highly popular throughout English football and other teams now do the same. Sheffield United won the League in 1898 and the FA Cup in 1899, 1902, 1915 and 1925. They were beaten finalists in the FA Cup in 1901 and 1936. Their best performance in the League Cup was reaching the semi finals in 2003. The club has been involved in many notable firsts:
下面是谢菲尔德联队官方网站上的一则新闻: Li set to arrive Li Tie's route to Bramall Lane has been cleared and he is expected to join the rest of the Blades squad for pre-season training next week. The Chinese international, latterly with Everton, has agreed a deal with United to boost Neil Warnock's Premiership numbers. He signs on a free transfer on a two-year contract. The documentation for the work permit is already in place, Tie is now awaiting a visa before making the trip from the Far East. Boss Warnock says: "Li has come on as a subsitute in two Chinese international matches last month and is currently training with Chengdu Blades. We are looking forward to him joining in with pre-season training when his visa is in place." Tie, 28, has almost 80 Chinese caps to his name and has played 34 times in the Premiership for Everton. 再把我今年年初给当时李铁所在俱乐部埃弗顿的国际联络官张梅写的信发上来： 张梅 你好！ 很久没有给你写信了，因为最近一直忙于考试，时间实在是太紧张了！今天终于把最后一门功课考结束了，也松了口气，可以静下心来好好写写自己想对铁子说的话。然后就是整理整理东西，准备回家过年了。 在这段时间，我还是一直关注着铁子大哥、关注着埃弗顿、关注着我们的国家队。新年之前国家队去西班牙拉练，踢了三场比赛，借着圣诞新年那段时间的假期，我观看了全部的三场比赛，虽然时间都是在凌晨。很多和我一起看比赛的同学在看了前两场比赛后都没有再看第三场，因为他们对国家队的表现实在是失望至极。我想，既然和欧洲高水平的球队比赛，比赛结果就不应该是我们国家队队员所刻意追求的，能从别人身上学到东西才是最重要的。为了比赛而比赛，比赛就失去了它本身的意义。我从那三场比赛可以看出，与西班牙的球员相比，我们中国的队员不管是在技术运用的合理程度还是战术打法的灵活度上都存在很大的差距。我们不得不承认，中国足球现在只是处于发展的初始阶段。不管是我们球迷还是我们的队员都应该清醒的认识到中国足球与世界先进水平的差距。有时候看到我们的邻居韩国和日本的足球水平发展迅速，我不禁替我们自己国家的担忧，但是担忧又有什么用呢？我们应该摸索出一条属于自己的发展之路，有句话叫One man's medicine may be other's poison，一味的看着别人在前面跑自己又不想有效的办法去追赶是不正确的。中国队没有能够冲进世界杯，但这不是世界末日，我们应该先从亚洲的比赛打起，如果我们在亚洲已经打遍天下无敌手了，或者人见人怕，到那个时候还用担心进不了世界杯吗？亚洲杯的预选赛很快就要开始了，国家队的主教练朱广沪最近也在欧洲考察我们为数不多的几个留洋球员。从这可以看出朱指导对他们的关注和重视。毕竟这些都是中国足球的精英，是中国足球未来几年的希望。我想这些在欧洲踢球的球员到国家队还有一个不可小视的作用，他们可以将他们在欧洲所见识的先进的理念传播给国家队其他没有机会去国外踢球的队员，这样就促进了国家队水平的整体提高。 很遗憾，我们的埃弗顿队没有在圣诞节期间取得好的成绩，仅仅是在1月2日对查尔顿的比赛中取得了一场久违的胜利。我想对于我们球迷来说，这个圣诞节是灰色的，我们所日夜向往的胜利总是那么难眷顾我们。就我自己而言，曾经很多次在屋子里只剩我一个人的时候思考，思考自己是不是有一天能够达到不因胜利而狂喜、不因失败而大悲的“圣人”境界，可是一次次看完比赛后的心情却告诉我，那是不可能的。球迷失去了激情，又怎么能称之为一个合格的球迷呢？不管是借着胜利的喜悦去阳台大声唱几句歌，还是因为失败的悲伤而去喝点啤酒，这都是我作为一个球迷表达自己对我深爱球队的爱的方式，我的情感随我的球队的成绩好坏而改变。正如远在英格兰的千千万万个球迷一样，埃弗顿已经成了我生活中的一个部分，如同早上起来要洗脸、到时间要吃饭一样，她完善了我的生活规律，让我有了心灵的依托。我对她没有过分的期望，在我的心目中，她永远是最棒的！足球场上胜利和失败都是存在的，在我看来，足球是一项给人带来快乐的运动，这种快乐来自胜利也来自失败，我宁愿把足球称为Entertainment或者Game而不是sport。 现在已经是2006年了，新年刚开始的时候人们总是会有很多的憧憬与期望，我只想想对埃弗顿说一句话：I am always here to love you! 黄良喜 2006年1月12日 最后祝愿铁子在谢菲尔德好运，有个名人说过一句话：＂是铁子总会发光的！＂ （其实...那个名人就是我）
5/23/2006 Cheers and tears as Shearer bids farewellOne of the game's great careers came to a fitting end last night when Alan Shearer - part modern-day hero, part quintessential, old-fashioned centre-forward - bade a fond, final farewell to an adoring St James's Park.
So perfectly staged-managed was the Tyneside legend's testimonial match that Newcastle United were even awarded a highly dubious last-minute penalty and, with the score perfectly and predictably poised at 2-2, not even the torn knee ligament that forced his premature retirement could prevent the 35-year-old from entering the field to drill home the winner. Opponents Celtic, whose vast, affable army of travelling fans make them the club of choice for such events, adhered graciously to the script, and Shearer, having wheeled for one last trademark, straight-arm celebration, was left uncharacteristically emotional at the remarkable show of affection afforded to him by a crowd of 52,275. "Where else in the world would you get that?" he mused afterwards, his voice trembling. "I had more than one tear in my eye to be honest, but I defy anyone not to have a tear in their eye with an atmosphere like that." Yet it's not only in Newcastle that they are wondering if they will see Shearer's like again, and no wonder. A cursory glance at the English Premier League's all-time scoring charts re-affirms, after all, that this was a peerless player, one whose tally of 260 top-flight goals leaves him fully 75 and 96 better off than his nearest rivals, Andy Cole and Thierry Henry respectively. Many speculate, of course, that this mammoth tally would be even greater had Shearer not twice turned down Manchester United - first in 1992 to join Blackburn Rovers, then to make a British-record transfer to his hometown team - and yet Shearer remains adamant that, despite failing to lift silverware during his decade on Tyneside, he has never once regretted snubbing Sir Alex Ferguson. "(Newcastle) will always be my club, it always has been," he said this week ahead of his testimonial, the proceeds of which are to benefit various charities. "I would just say - look at every kid in every playground in the North East and the joy they get when they score a goal. I'm exactly the same. This (St James's Park) has been my playground for the last 10 years." Eriksson and Robson laud a legend The goals never dried up thereafter, either for Southampton or for Blackburn, whom he joined for £3.6 million in 1992 and left four years later with a Premier League medal, having scored 130 goals in 170 appearances for the unfashionable Lancashire outfit. After spurning Manchester United a second time, Shearer's reward was an 18,000-strong welcoming party at St James's Park and, though even his best efforts couldn't bring an end to the Toon Army's long wait for silverware, this season did witness the veteran striker surpass Newcastle legend Jackie Milburn's 49-year-old goalscoring record, with his 206th and final goal for the club securing a precious away victory over bitter North East rivals Sunderland. With England, and despite retiring from international football while still in his prime, he came close to a goal every other game, scoring 30 times in 63 appearances to finish level with Nat Lofthouse and Tom Finney as the country's fifth-top all-time marksman. "It is hard for anyone not to admire Alan Shearer," wrote the Swede. "He is a tremendous ambassador for the game of football. He is admired by his fellow professionals, and if any young player wants a role model or someone to learn from, then look no further." Sir Bobby Robson, meanwhile - who revealed that he had unsuccessfully petitioned Barcelona to sign Shearer during his time in charge at the Camp Nou - was even more effusive in his praise of the player he later made captain while manager at St James's Park. "He had everything, on and off the field," enthused the former Newcastle and England manager. "Alan Shearer is up there with the best strikers this country has ever produced." What next? Not for the first time, however, the 35-year-old's emotional ties to Newcastle may cloud the issue, particularly if - as appears likely - the Magpies follow through in appointing Glenn Roeder manager on a permanent basis. Shearer has, after all, been assisting Roeder during the former West Ham coach's period in caretaker charge and, though an ambassadorial role had originally been set aside, it appears the club's all-time leading goalscorer may yet assume a more hands-on position. "He knows me very well, I know him very well and we trust each other," is all Shearer will say for the time being on his relationship with Roeder. Nevertheless, when he supplements this with the considerably less non-committal comment, "This my club and I want to stay involved," one would be forgiven for suspecting that last night's farewell might not have been so final after all. 5/22/2006 FIFA team listsAngola 1 GK JOAO RICARDO -
