岑登：稍安勿躁，大巴將穩步提速

2012年11月24日 22:01


曾效力過利物浦和切爾西的岑登成為新帥貝尼特斯的教練組成員，他誠懇告知切
爾西球迷，請大家稍安勿躁，球隊的整體改觀也許不會一下子到來。


此前，岑登沒有任何執教經驗，因此貝尼特斯將其招為入幕之賓多少令人感到驚
奇，不過既來之則安之，他將於貝尼特斯一起重整切爾西，盡力一掃最近8場比賽僅
有一次勝績的頹勢。


“說實話第一天上任我感到有點瘋狂，有點忙亂，因為每個人都不知道接下來該
幹什麼，每個人都的重新找找感覺，但準備時間很短，你有時不能一下開到200英里。
不過球員們的態度真不錯。”


關於貝尼特斯，岑登評價道：“他的要求非常高，不過球迷期待的教練就該是這
樣。人們都知道他是個技戰術大師，他非常喜歡把一切規整到有條不紊，他重視合作
這也是讓球員更快更好振作的有效手段。”


2001-2004年，岑登效力於切爾西，此次返回能見到不少相熟面孔他也感到很開
心。


“以前我跟特里，蘭帕德一起踢球，我也曾作為藍軍的對手和這些球員們對陣，
除了一些這賽季的新面孔，其他人我都挺熟悉的。我也很開心能跟那些工作人員們重
聚，這些人不在聚光燈下，卻為俱樂部默默做出了貢獻。”

Boudewijn Zenden says it will take time for Rafa Benitez to stamp his
mark on the Chelsea squad

ZENDEN'S RETURN JOURNEY

Posted on: Sat 24 Nov 2012


It is not quite a 'sliding doors' type story, but it was a chance meeting
between Boudewijn Zenden and Rafael Benitez a matter of weeks ago that
accelerated the former Chelsea player's recruitment onto the backroom
staff at Stamford Bridge.


Of course the Spaniard and the Dutchman knew each other well from two
seasons when Zenden played under Benitez at Liverpool, and they kept in
touch after that too, but then they lost touch, as the 36-year-old
explains as he tells the official website the story of how he comes to
beat Cobham this week.


'Over the years, after I left Liverpool, Rafa would call me for advice on
certain players and things because I have been playing in different places
and different leagues and worked with different people.


'Apparently he always appreciated my advice and my opinion, but because he
has moved on a few times and I have moved on a few times, for the last half
year or so we didn't have each other's contact details.


'About two weeks ago I was in Doha, Qatar, and I played in the ex-El
Clasico match between old Barcelona and Real Madrid players and Rafa by
coincidence was there to do a lecture.


'We only spoke for five minutes in a hotel but he asked me for my details.
Then all of a sudden on Wednesday he called me and said do you fancy being
an assistant because I might get a job soon.'


It wasn't an idea immediately on the Zenden agenda. He was working
frequently as a pundit on TV in England and back home in Holland and was
also still training to keep fit at Bayer Leverkusen having left Sunderland
in 2011, but he agreed in principle to it, not expecting a call soon after
asking him to come to London immediately.


'It was my former team where there are familiar faces. I know some of the
players that I played with and lot I have played against, and it was
something that just came out of the blue.


'I am sure that if we didn't meet two or three weeks earlier he might have
got my details through someone else but it was a coincidence that we met
for five minutes and soon after everything was rolling.'


Zenden lists some of his former coaches such as Guus Hiddink, Louis van
Gaal, Johan Neeskens, Frank Rijkaard and Steve McClaren as people whose
ideas on the game he has stored away and used in his playing career, and
will now bring to his new role.He is also able to give a little insight
into what it is like to be a player under Benitez's management, including
the manager's past attitude to squad rotation.


'He is very demanding which you should be at times and he has also got his
clear ideas of how he wants the game to be played, and he is trying to
convince players about that. As a player, when you see certain ideas work
out in a game it gives you even more of a feeling of working in the right
direction. Rafa over the years has experienced more things and will
probably do things slightly differently than when I played for him.


'At Liverpool, there were so many competitions, the idea of the way you
play would probably be similar but with different players so sometimes a
player, though playing in the same position, would bring something
different.


'I played every time in the Champions League, so I would play against
Barcelona on the Wednesday but then I wouldn't play on the Saturday
against Stoke. He tried to find a balance between what we needed in a
certain game or a certain competition, because all the competitions are
different.'


For the record, Zenden was named man of the match in the recent ex-El
Clasico but Barcelona lost on penalties after a 5-5 draw.


'It was the first El Clasico when both teams stayed in the same hotel,
travelled on the same bus and had dinner at the same table,' he says. 'But
it should have been a friendly and as soon as both teams wore the shirts
then there was nothing friendly about it!'
