覺得這篇不錯，順手翻譯一下，有誤請更正。 http://tinyurl.com/6ulo2 From hero to zero Two years ago Ronald Koeman was the next big manager, turning down the Barcelona job in favour of Ajax's brilliant crop of youngsters. Today he is out of a job. Leander Schaerlaeckens looks at where it all went wrong. 兩年前科曼是巴薩教練的熱門人選，但他因為AJAX一批有才華的年輕人而拒絕的巴薩，兩年後的今天他辭職了，Leander Schaerlaeckens在此分析到底是哪裡出錯。 Monday February 28, 2005 Two years ago he was the next big manager, turning down the Barcelona job several times in favour of hot young Ajax. Today he is out of a job. How did it all go so wrong for Ronald Koeman? On December 3, 2001 he was appointed at Ajax after being lured away from a revitalised Vitesse. He inherited a team from Co Adriaanse that was a shambles. Adriaanse had attempted to build a team out of youngsters who, although absurdly talented, weren't ready for first-team football, combined with cheap obscure foreign players who had the assignment of holding things together until the homegrown players were ready. Needless to say it all went horribly wrong. 01年十二月科曼被AJAX從Vitesse拉來，繼承了前教練Co Adriaanse的陣容， Adriaanse之前選擇重用青年軍，雖然這批人非常非常的有才華，但是卻還不夠成熟，Adriaanse另外簽了一幾個不是挺有名氣的外籍球員，想借重這批外籍球員的經驗帶領這批這批年輕人度過一段時間，結果可想而知，事情不如他所料。 Koeman soon turned things around and even managed to win the league that year with a refreshingly attacking team in the classical Ajax mould. 科曼接管後，馬上扭轉了該隊的情勢，不但贏了荷甲，也把該隊塑造成一個攻擊型球隊。 The next year was as exciting a season as Ajax have had since the Champions League glory of 1994-95, despite losing the league to PSV by one point in one of the closest seasons Holland has seen in years 隔年AJAX雖然以一分之差讓PSV把荷甲冠軍拿走，但是這季整體來說是自94-95年那批歐冠得主之後，最讓人興奮的一季。 Young guns Rafael van der Vaart, Steven Pienaar, Cristian Chivu, Andy van der Meyde and Zlatan Ibrahimovic brought Ajax to the quarter-finals of the Champions League in which they lost agonisingly to AC Milan in injury-time of the second leg at the San Siro. 因為該隊有van der Vaart, Pienaar, Chivu, van der Meyde, 與Ibrahimovic 讓AJAX打進歐冠八強，直到在第二輪客場敗給ACM。 The average age of the first team was just over 21 years old and Van der Vaart was named the best young player in Europe. Ajax were being praised for their fluid attacking, fighting spirit and talented youngsters. That winter Barcelona repeatedly offered Koeman their manager's position but he preferred to stay on at Ajax in the pursuit of a fifth European Cup for the club. 當時該隊的平均年齡才不過21歲，而VDV被選為該季最佳荷蘭年輕球員，該隊也被媒體稱讚他們的流暢攻擊與拼鬥精神，當然還有這批才華洋溢的年輕球員們。巴薩也數度邀請科曼執教，但是科曼選擇繼續待下去意圖為AJAX謀得第五座歐冠獎盃。 The following summer Koeman allowed Chivu and Van der Meyde to go to Roma and Inter respectively, a decision that would haunt him for the rest of his time at the club. One-time Manchester United target Julien Escude was brought in to replace Chivu but has been unconvincing, while Van der Meyde was never properly replaced as the scarcity for traditional right-wingers within Ajax's budget played up once again. 隔年夏天，科曼讓Chivu與Van der Meyde分別去了羅馬與國米，這決定讓科曼此後一直困擾著。科曼隨然從把曼聯相中的法國後衛Escude買進以彌補Chive離去的空缺，但是法國人表現一直不是讓人信服，而VDM去國米後的右翼空缺，也因為科曼的轉會預算不夠一直找不到合格的替補。 The cracks began to show as Koeman fell out with one of his star players for the first time in what would be a long succession of similar situations. Egyptian wunderkind Mido refused to show up to training on time or to conform to Koeman's vision of discipline and was sold off to Marseille after being loaned to Celta Vigo for the second half of the 2002-2003 season. 科曼與他隊伍的間隙首次出現是因為Mido拒絕準時出現練球，這埃及人也不服科曼的紀律化管理的理念，科曼遂將02-03他下半季外借Celta，格年邁到馬賽去。 The 2003-2004 season was Koeman's best. Ajax won the league on pure talent, easily keeping PSV and Feyenoord behind them throughout the year. Despite the apparent ease of this victory though, Koeman did have troubles with several of his players. Eccentric striker Ibrahimovic was craving the spot-light and "respect", right-back Hatem Trabelsi went on strike to force a new contract, new Dutch international Wesley Sneijder demanded a starting spot - verbally assaulting his manager in the process - and captain Van der Vaart refused to play out of position any longer. 03-04年是科曼執教表現最好的一年，AJAX拿下荷甲，並讓PSV與菲諾得遙遙在後，雖然聯賽冠軍贏的輕鬆，科曼卻面對幾個內部問題，一是因為好鎂光燈注意的Zlatan ，要求教練要"尊重"他，二是Trabelsi因為合約問題罷工的事，三則是Sneijder 要求要先發位置，甚至口頭攻擊科曼，四是VDV拒絕打他不擅長的位置。 On top of that Pienaar couldn't stay fit for more than three matches at a time and youngsters Nigel de Jong and Johnny Heitinga, though both Dutch internationals, couldn't find a place in the Ajax starting line-up, resulting in heavy criticism in the press. 另外還有Pienaar狀態一直不好，而其他兩個年輕球員de Jong與Heitinga雖然已是國腳，在AJAX卻年先發都排不上，這些招來媒體的嚴厲批評。 This season it all finally came to a head. After refusing to adjust the season's expectations upon Koeman's request, football director Louis van Gaal resigned. Ibrahimovic was finally granted his transfer to mighty Juventus but wasn't replaced by Angelos Charisteas until the Christmas transfer window. Homegrown starlets Van der Vaart, Sneijder and De Jong even stated publicly that they didn't feel they got any better under Koeman. 這季所有的不幸一次降臨在科曼身上，首先是該俱樂部的football director范蓋爾辭職，因為科曼希望這季俱樂部的期望能調整。Zlatan終於如願去了組文，但是他的空缺直到冬季轉會才由Angelos Charisteas(這是不是那個希臘九號前鋒？) 青訓出來的球員VDV，Sniejder與de Jong也落井下石的說在科曼底下他們沒什麼進步。 On top of all that, Ajax are eight points behind PSV and even four points behind traditionally inferior AZ - coached by one Co Adriaanse. Champions League and subsequent Uefa Cup elimination to Auxerre were the final straw for Koeman, who cleared out his office last Friday. 除了這些內部問題之外，在聯賽AJAX已落後PSV八分，甚至落後黑馬AZ四分，之前歐冠出局與現在UEFA CUP出局上科曼清出了他在AJAX的辦公室。 The former free-kick virtuoso has since been linked to the Valencia job and will no doubt soon have a new toy to keep him busy. But it is doubtful he will ever find a situation as promising as the one he had at Ajax again. 這個昔日的FK大砲近來被臆測為瓦倫的接班人之一，不過，他的未來也不一定會比在AJAX日子好。 **************** Koeman's interim successors Tonny Bruins Slot and Ruud Krol managed to win 2-1 at Vitesse this weekend, keeping hopes of a Champions League berth live. Elsewhere fourth-placed Feyenoord convincingly beat RBC 3-0 as league top-scorer Dirk Kuijt banged in his 21st of the season. AZ continued their impressive season by beating Willem II 3-1 inspired by old playmaker Barry Van Galen and PSV beat Heerenveen 3-0 -two goals by Jefferson Farfan - to remain four points clear at the top. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 80.229.140.103
