http://bbs.qieerxi.com/viewthread.php?tid=52335&extra=page%3D1 Shevchenko: a blip or the yips? By Tony Cascarino September 30, 2006 翻譯：fern (先來個名詞解釋.....) It's a beautiful afternoon on the golf course. Heading toward the seventh hole, you make your best tee shot of the day. Your second shot blazes straight down the fairway, and your iron shot lands three feet from the cup. Just one smooth tap of the putter and you'll card a birdie. 這是個晴好的下午，你在打高爾夫球。前往第七個洞之時，你開出了今天最好的一球。你的第二個球也順利的沿著路線下去，用鐵杆的一擊使得球距離球洞只剩下三英尺。只要再輕輕打一下，你就能輕易的贏得一個博蒂。 You feel confident as you address the ball. But just as your putter makes contact with it, a mild spasm interrupts your calculated stroke — and your ball rolls past the cup. 你充滿了自信。但是當你的球杆碰觸到球的時候，一次微小的抖動破壞了你計算好的路線 — 結果球越過了球洞。 You've just experienced the yips. 這就是一次YIPS。 (正文開始.....) EVERYONE knows about the yips. They are when athletes are so affected by nerves that they cannot perform a basic action. Like when one of the best strikers in the world goes six games without scoring and does not look like a goal threat. The simple header that misses the target, the straightforward pass that is miscontrolled. 每個人都知道YIPS是什麼。當運動員被某些精神狀態所影響，以至於無法完成一個最基本的動作，這就是YIPS。就像這世界上最好的前鋒之一六場比賽沒有進球，並且看上去對球門沒什麼太大威脅。即使是簡單的頭球也偏離了方向，而直傳球似乎也失去了控制。 They are moments when you ask: why can't such a great player do this, it's so easy? In football we call it a lack of confidence. But it is really the yips. Mind affects body, technique fails, little things go wrong and make a big difference. 這時候你會責問為什麼一個偉大的運動員無法完成這麼簡單的事情，在足球上我們稱之為失去自信，但事實上，這是YIPS。精神狀況影響了身體，技術出現了錯誤，一些微小的偏差最終導致巨大的不同。 Greg Norman, Eric Bristow, Sergio Garcia, they've all suffered from the yips. Should Andriy Shevchenko be added to the list? Whether you are the most useless amateur or a top professional, the yips can get you. 諾曼、布里斯托、賈西亞，他們都曾經碰到過這種情況，舍瓦應該添加到這個名單上嗎？不管你是個業餘人士還是專業的人員，YIPS一樣能夠影響到你。 In golf, darts or snooker you have time to think, but football is a game of constant action during which you make instant, instinctive decisions. Yet for me, footballers are as vulnerable to the yips as anyone — particularly strikers. And I should know. 在高爾夫、飛鏢和斯諾克這些運動上你有時間去思考，但是足球是一個連續的運動，你必須做出迅速的本能的判斷。對我來說，足球運動員對於YIPS和其他人一樣沒有抵抗力 — 特別是前鋒。做為一個球員，我了解這一點。 Once, I confided in Andy Townsend that there was a particular scenario I dreaded. A player goes down the left and pulls the ball back across goal. I meet it with my weaker right foot from close range and shank it wide. Then, in a game, it happened just like that. Andy looked at me and laughed. It was his cross. I didn't see the funny side. 有一次，我跟安迪˙湯森說我非常擔心一種情況的出現，一個隊友從左邊將球傳中，我用我相對較弱的右腳去觸球，把它碰飛了。接著，在一場比賽中這個情形發生了。安迪看著我露出了笑容，就是他把球傳過來的，我絲毫不覺得這件事有趣。 I was like the golfer who cannot hole five-foot putts, or Patsy Fagan, the snooker player who couldn't use a rest. Yet in other aspects of my game, such as heading, I was confident. But negativity was eating away at me. The self-doubt affected me during games. I realised that my mental preparation was flawed but I didn't want to admit to myself that I had a problem. 我就像那些沒辦法將球洞邊上的球打進洞的高爾夫球員一樣，或者斯諾克球員芬鞏不能使用支架。對我的比賽的另一些部分，比如說頭球，我還是很自信的。但是陰暗的一面慢慢吞噬了我，我開始自我懷疑。我明白我精神準備上出了問題，但是卻不想承認。 So, like Shevchenko does, I worked my socks off, made sure that no one could accuse me of hiding and tried to transform my fortunes with effort. If only it was so simple. 就像現在舍瓦做的一樣，我將鞋子跑飛了，我不想讓任何人指責我未盡全力，並且想用努力去改變運氣。可惜事情不會這麼簡單。 At Aston Villa in 1990, Graham Taylor was my manager for only six weeks before he left for the England job. Somehow he saw what I wouldn't admit — that beneath my bubbly exterior I was troubled. He told me to see a sports psychologist who helped me to think positively. 1990年在阿斯頓維拉的時候，我的教練是葛拉漢˙泰勒，在為英格蘭國家隊工作之前他在我們這待了六個星期，不知道為什麼他發現了我不願意承認的事實 — 在活躍的外表下，我陷入了困境，他讓我去見一名體育心理醫生，以幫助我積極的面對問題。 I watched Shevchenko at the training ground last week. Free kick after free kick went over the bar. As his shots went high, his head went down. You can be sure that when Shevchenko does find the net again all the Chelsea boys will mob him. The squad have a close bond and, talking to them last week, the squad are full of praise for his teamwork and personality. 上個星期我在訓練場上看到了舍瓦，他的任意球一個接一個偏出了球門，他的射門越離譜，他的頭就垂得越低。你可以確定的是，如果舍瓦進了一球，所有的切爾西男孩都將歡欣雀躍。這個球隊非常團結，上週跟他們談過之後，我發現所有人都對舍瓦的團隊工作和性格讚不絕口。 But a striker's worth is measured in goals, especially one as prolific as Shevchenko. I wonder what the effect of the 2005 Champions League final has been. His penalty in the shoot-out was one of the worst you will ever see. What's more, the match wouldn't have gone to spot-kicks if he had scored that easy chance near the end. That trauma stays with you. 但是前鋒的價值是通過進球來體現的，特別是像舍瓦這樣的人。我懷疑2005年冠軍盃的最後一個點球是否終對他產生了影響。那次的點球是你所能想像到的最糟糕的一球。更不幸的是，假如他抓住比賽最後的那次機會，那麼球隊根本不必進入到點球決戰。這個陰影將一直影響你。 But I got out of my indifferent spell and there is no doubt that Shevchenko will, too. It's like Jose Mourinho, his manager, said: Chelsea are winning without Shevchenko's goals. How good will they be when he is on peak form? The thought is enough to give Chelsea's title rivals the yips. 但是我最終擺脫了這個魔咒，毫無疑問，舍瓦也會。就像他的教練穆里尼奧說的一樣，切爾西在舍瓦未能進球的情況下還是取得了勝利。有朝一日當舍瓦開始進球，那麼球隊的情形會變的有多好？這個想法足以使切爾西的競爭對手YIPS。舍瓦進球紀錄 2006-07 (Chelsea): 8 apps, 1 goal 2005-06 (AC Milan): 40 apps, 28 goals 2004-05 (AC Milan): 39 apps, 23 goals 2003-04 (AC Milan): 41 apps, 28 goals 2002-03 (AC Milan): 35 apps, 9 goals 2001-02 (AC Milan): 35 apps, 17 goals 2000-01 (AC Milan): 48 apps, 33 goals 1999-00 (AC Milan): 38 apps, 25 goals 1998-99 (Dynamo Kiev): 40 apps, 28 goals 1997-98 (Dynamo Kiev): 33 apps, 25 goals -- 以伊露維塔的名為證發誓 — 若有誰敢奪取屬於我們的藍色之魂，不論對方是天使、惡魔、男人或女人，包括尚未出生者，若有任何的生靈，不論偉大或渺小，是善還是惡，我們都將懷著復仇與憎恨之心直追到天涯海角，直追到世界結束之日。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.129.127.217
