卡希爾：不錯的開局

上載於 : 2012年3月31日 星期六 17:36


加里˙卡希爾之所以能發展出自己的天賦，以致可在英超一流的俱樂部中作賽，
甚至獲得亮相歐冠的機會，原來源自於一名前切爾西球員的功勞。


週六對阿斯頓維拉的比賽，卡希爾被列入參賽名單之中，而球隊也希望可以全取
三分。卡希爾15歲的時候加入了維拉青年軍，踏上了職業足球員之路。在維拉足球學
院中，他接受了托尼˙麥克安德魯的指導，後者到了現在依然是維拉的教練之一。


McAndrew was a 1982 signing for Chelsea from Middlesbrough with
then-manager John Neal bringing in a player he knew well as he attempted
to improve the character of the Stamford Bridge dressing room.

Unfortunately the tough central defender/midfielder was hampered by a
back injury during his time at the club and he was limited to 23
appearances before returning to Middlesbrough in 1984. However players
from that side which restored Chelsea's top-flight status after five years
away say his influence behind the scenes was sorely missed, including Pat
Nevin who wrote the following in one of his columns on the official
Chelsea website:


'The captain during the first season I played with Chelsea, Tony
McAndrew, wasn't the flashiest of players, but the work he did was the
type that allowed the more flamboyant players such as myself to express
ourselves.


'More importantly than that was the effect he had on the ethos of the
side. John Neal had made him skipper because he understood the respect he
had from the rest of the squad, also for the fact that he always had the
most supportive attitude, that he always valued the team before any
individual including himself and he stamped out any negativity from the
group.


'In the end many of the fans never really did take to Tony but when
he left Chelsea the team lost a fine leader and one or two of the less
positive role models took his place and the team suffered accordingly.'


That fits with Cahill's experience two decades later.


「他對我的職業生涯影響非常大。」這名英格蘭國腳回想道。「他是一名很嚴格
的人，也很清楚自己想要甚麼，但作為一名教練，他是頂級的，隨著你年紀漸長，總
要經歷另一個階段，當你回首時，便會發覺他有多好。凱文˙麥克唐納和科文斯與他
一樣，都有相似的方法，思想比較古老，對球員非常苛刻。」


「甚至有一段時間，我們不允許穿有顏色的球靴，當時我們並不明白，後來長大
後，我們反而對他們充滿尊敬，因為正是如此，我們才會腳踏實地，全神貫注於足球
之上。」


當時與卡希爾差不多年紀加入維拉的同學中有依然留隊的阿邦拉霍爾，其他較有
名的成員包括克雷格˙加德納、盧克˙摩爾、利亞姆˙里奇維爾、史蒂芬˙戴維斯和
傑米˙沃德。


「回想那時候的預備隊，有一半現在依然踢著職業足球，不少更在英超作賽，這
是非常罕見的。」卡希爾說。「我們贏得了預備組聯賽的冠軍，也打進了青年足總盃
的決賽，而在我加盟前的一年，更是贏過少年盃。」


卡希爾2008年加盟博爾頓前，曾為維拉上陣過31次。


「維拉是一塊讓我充滿美好回憶的地方，雖然沒有太多回歸的感覺，畢竟也離開
了這麼多年。不過，能回去探望影響自己那麼深的教練是一件好事，如果與他們招呼
也非常好。」
