※ 引述《JamesCaesar (首席百人隊長)》之銘言： : http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/may/21/patrick-bamford-derby- : county-qpr-chelsea : Chelsea's Patrick Bamford aims to make his mark for Derby against QPR : Stuart James - Wednesday 21 May 2014 18.19 BST : It is easy to imagine Bamford making a favourable impression with Mourinho : with or without his boots on. At the family home in Newark, : Nottinghamshire, where he is relaxing before Saturday's Championship : play-off final against QPR, Bamford speaks with great maturity as he rows : back over his life story. He is certainly not the stereotypical footballer. : Bamford was privately educated at Nottingham high school, where rugby is : the No1 sport and football played “only during break-time”. He was : bright, so much so that he sat his GCSEs and A levels a year early and had : an unconditional scholarship offer from Harvard University. “I never : really felt pushed at school or that I was struggling; it came naturally,” : he says. : “I do think I could have done a lot more revision but I always found : something else to do and it generally involved football. I ended up with : five A*s, three As and two Bs at GCSE. I did French, history, biology, : chemistry and general studies at A level. I dropped chemistry after the : first year because I thought it was really hard and I ended up with a B at : A/S. I ended up with three Bs and a C at A level. And I did an A/S in : economics once I had left school and was in my second year as a scholar at : Nottingham Forest. I did that to keep me stimulated.” http://sports.qq.com/a/20140927/013731.htm 騰訊體育 2014-09-27 10:38 切爾西前鋒帕特里克˙班佛現正租借在英冠的米德爾斯堡鍛鍊，在週中對陣利物浦的聯賽盃上，這名小將打入一球。今天，英國的《每日郵報》介紹了這名小將，讓人瞠目結舌的是，班福德才華橫溢，他不僅會講4國語言，4種樂器，而且還曾拒絕過哈佛的邀請。班佛現年21歲，是一名地道的學霸，母語是英語，精通德語和法語，並還自學了西班牙語，這讓他在小小年紀就掌握了四種語言，堪稱奇才；而在才藝上他同樣不逞多讓，不僅會彈吉他，而且是一名小提琴、薩克斯風和鋼琴高手。令人驚愕的是，為了踢球，他拒絕了美國哈佛大學提供的獎學金，“我早就過了 GCSE，因此在諾丁漢森林開始獎學金計劃時，我已經拿到了1年的A等級；為了以防萬一，我申請了國外的大學，哈佛願意為我提供獎學金，主要和足球有關，但也有商務和語言方面的課程。” 在接受採訪的時候，班佛透露自己的計劃是來到切爾西一隊。 “原先的計劃是留在切爾西擔任第三前鋒，但是德羅巴回來了，很顯然，他是俱樂部的傳奇。何塞認為我最好先租借出去，我同意了。” “你需要有耐心，盧卡庫想成為主力前鋒，因此他抓住機會加盟了埃弗頓，我知道自己的計劃，切爾西認為大部分球員在22或者23歲的時候不夠成熟，還不能效力一線隊，我需要不斷提高，同時保持耐心，希望機會能夠來到。”假以時日，這名出色的天才或許真的能在切爾西建功立業。（煙圈） http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2771516/ Chelsea striker Bamford turned down Harvard to chase Premier League dream By Craig Hope - Published: 23:17 GMT, 26 September 201 -- http://jamescaesar.pixnet.net/album/photo/110781933 永遠以摸過它為榮 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 114.24.51.102 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Chelsea/M.1411820963.A.A2E.html
