CARRA: LEAGUE HAS NEVER BEEN TOUGHER Jimmy Rice 21 August 2008 英超冠軍越來越難搶 Jamie Carragher believes the task of winning the league and claiming that elusive 'number 19' has never been tougher. The club's vice-captain has won every domestic and European honour during 11 years in Liverpool's first team – except the Premier League. 卡拉格認為贏得英超冠軍的任務、也是第十九個賽季挑戰將會更加艱難。球隊的副隊長在過去十一年一線隊的生涯除了英超聯賽冠軍以外，已經贏得所有國內（聯賽盃、足總盃、慈善盾）、甚至歐洲級別的冠軍（歐洲冠軍盃、歐洲足協盃）頭銜。 It's a pill which becomes harder to swallow with each passing year, though Carra recently found comfort in the words of an Anfield icon who helped bring eight championship trophies home to Merseyside. 儘管卡拉最近發現一個球迷做的圖像裡，敘述他把八項冠軍獎盃帶回安菲爾德讓他感到非常安慰，但這（挑戰英超冠軍）就像是每年越變越大顆的藥丸一樣，讓人更加難以吞嚥。 "I was reading something from Alan Hansen during the summer and it really brought it home to me," the 30-year-old told LFC Magazine. 暑期在讀韓森的文章，格外觸動我心。 "You can't criticise much of what Liverpool teams of the past did when Hansen was playing. Obviously they were the best team around but it was interesting to read him say that sometimes Liverpool won the league even though they didn't have a particularly great side. 你無法挑剔韓森球員時代的利物浦。顯然當時他們是最出色的隊伍，但更微妙的是看到他說有時候即使他們不是格外強大的一支，他們依舊能夠贏得聯賽冠軍。 "He went on to say that there is no possible way you could do that today. It struck a chord with me and I thought it was a fair point. 韓森在那段話後也補充，現今的英超生態要做到類似的成就（不是超強、但贏得冠軍）已經毫無可能。這真的引起我的共鳴，而且我也認為這是非常公正的論點。 "I'm not saying bad Liverpool teams ever won the league – of course they didn't. But maybe a few years ago you could afford to carry a few players. 並不是說當時差勁的利物浦也依舊能夠贏得聯賽冠軍，他們當然不差勁。但也許在幾年前，你完全可以靠著少數幾個核心隊員來做到這樣的成就。 "I don't think that's possible now. Every position has got to be filled by a top player if you want to win things on a consistent basis. 我完全不認為這在現在會有可能性。假若你要贏得任何冠軍頭銜，你必須要讓每個位置都被一個頂級隊員給佔據，這樣才能提供一個非常穩定的競爭基礎。 "Look at the other top sides in the Premier League: even the full-back positions are filled with the best full-backs in the world now. 看看其他的英超有力競爭隊伍，即使在邊後衛的位置上現在都已經被世界頂級隊員給佔據。 "Years ago you could probably get away with carrying the odd player here or there. 幾年前在前往客場征戰的過程，你可能只需要帶著零散的隊員出發。 "It was good for me to hear that from someone who actually played back then rather than it coming from current players, where it'd probably just sound like an excuse. 對我來說，聽到這些說法來自退役名宿會比從現役隊員更好。畢竟現役隊員說來實在像是藉口。 "Basically what Hansen was saying was that it's more difficult to win the league now than in his day. The standards have been raised much higher over the past five to 10 years, especially with the Chelsea situation and what's happening there. 韓森所說的基本上就在陳述現在要贏得聯賽冠軍會比過去他還在踢球時期更加艱難。這樣的標準在過去五到十年已經被提升的相當高，尤其是切爾西的崛起，以及整體足壇生態的改變。 "That means our standards have to be higher." 那代表我們的標準也必須要跟著提高。其實大家都有危機意識雖然看起來本賽季也算小有提升無論厚度或者整體水平上都是如此但是這夠不夠成為利物浦拿到英超冠軍的基礎我想也就是 Benitez 至今沒有放棄補強的緣故一定還有提升空間才是過去幾年裡利物浦完全不缺少場上的激情演出但是缺少穩定性是不爭的事實上個賽季的歐洲賽場其實也有這個毛病小組賽的表現無疑兩極化當然潛能被激發與否也是個原因如果只是關乎晉級與否客場一場和局就已足矣就跟過去利物浦在英格蘭稱霸時期一樣主場贏下來、客場想辦法拿到和局這樣就幾乎篤定了聯賽冠軍頭銜但現在絕非如此除了主場連和局都要避免外客場最好也要能夠拿到三分動輒賽季九十分以上的奪冠標準就是 Hansen 所說的更加艱難也就是 Carragher 說的過去只要在客場帶幾隻蝦兵蟹將想辦法逼和就是現在絕對不可能這樣也因此對球隊的穩定性更加要求拿冠軍的征途中最好連被小石頭絆到的情況都得避免這對整體陣容不夠豪華的利物浦來說就是可以提升的空間當然信心還是要有即使當初拿歐洲冠軍球隊輪著受傷總有人能夠挺身而出的精神還是讓人至今難忘所以我相信客觀上利物浦這支隊伍還是擁有足夠的潛力來爭取這所謂的十九年的挑戰看上場比賽其實我是樂觀的畢竟該拿的分數拿到了（大家都知道客場開局總是格外艱難）打法上也看得出來 Benitez 沒有死守 4231 的基礎他知道這支隊伍必須依據對手的屬性來應對而不是那種真正的超級強隊能夠一招半式吃遍天下固守著已經建立的基礎就能贏得漂亮的成績這對利物浦來說完全不可能積極面向看來球隊也沒犯錯啊也許是過去這麼長久的等待讓人很難不保守吧總之就是保持堅定的信念 Gerrard、Carragher 已經沒讓人失望很久了為什麼不相信他們？ -- "At all the clubs I played for,there was always the question,'Is he going make it?'because I don't have the talent of players like Thierry Henry or Robin van Persie,"he says."But with a good mentality on and off the pitch -and especially on the training ground - I became better and better. ～ Dirk Kuyt 1980.07.22 / 184 cm / 77 kg / Striker / Liverpool FC / Holland -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.115.224.29
