波特談執教切爾西一個月

14 10月 2022


今天是波特執教切爾西的第一場比賽的一個月紀念日，那是歐冠1-1戰平薩爾茲
堡的比賽，這個特殊的日子讓他有理由反思。

由於種種原因，波特在斯坦福橋的生活有點斷斷續續，但如果比賽結果可以參考
的話，他現在顯然已經進入了最佳狀態。藍軍在10月份取得了四場勝利，進了10球，
只丟了一球。考慮到這樣的狀態，波特保留了額外的讚揚，他的球隊轉變了思想，接
受了主教練的哲學。


“這是一個超現實的開局，女王去世、比賽取消、國際比賽、我的第一場歐冠比
賽。”波特解釋，“有很多事情讓我的頭腦很快清醒過來，但就像我之前說過的，我
要感謝球員們。他們非常樂於接受，保持開放和誠實，我們開始建立良好的關係。”

“我們在很短的時間內有好幾場比賽，我們必須盡可能明智地利用這個團隊，我
們已經做到了。”波特補充，“我對球員們的印象很深刻。他們的態度非常好。有幾
個球員還沒有上場，但這並不一定是因為他們做錯了什麼，而是我們只能派出11人。
但比賽一場接著一場，球隊在不斷進步。就目前所處的位置而言，我們還沒有達到頂
峰，未來還會有更多的比賽。”


當波特到達切爾西時，大部分的討論都集中在他以前從未管理過所謂的“頂級”
球隊上。許多權威人士質疑他是否能在切爾西更衣室裡處理好“大牌”問題，但波特
在今天下午科本的記者會上很快打消了這個想法。


“球員是開放、誠實、負責任的。他們有野心、有決心，他們想把事情做好。到
目前為止，在我看來一切都很好。他們仍然是人類，而媒體認為當球員達到一定水平
後會長出第二個腦袋之類的東西，他們會變得和我們其他人不一樣。說出這樣的事很
容易，但我發現事實並非如此。”

“布萊頓沒有很多大牌球員，但拉拉納贏過歐冠冠軍，為利物浦效力了七年，維
爾貝克在他的職業生涯中表現不錯。我和他們相處得很好，儘管他們因為有強大的自
我意識而有第二個腦袋！”


“英超球隊有24名球員都想踢比賽。他們知道如果表現得好會有什麼結果。如果
主教練不選他們，他們會很失望，自尊心受到了傷害。各行各業的人都是複雜的，這
項工作並不簡單，無論水平如何，但到目前為止我們都做得不錯。”


波特不是一個喜歡搶風頭的人，但他承認，自上任以來，他的個人生活在某些方
面發生了變化。


“我已經意識到自己不能經常出去了。週圍已經變得比較高調了，不過沒關係，
反正我很忙。我沒有自己的生活，我只是來到訓練場，試著準備比賽！”

“不幸的是，我的臉經常出現在電視上。我不喜歡在電視上看到自己，我會手心
出汗。我寧願去看牙醫！事情就是這樣。”

Potter on his burgeoning bond with the Chelsea players and what's changed

Potter: Comparing coaching careers and why I couldn't support Villa

16 Oct 2022


At Villa Park today, two English coaches go head to head, a Premier League
occurrence that is not as infrequent this season as it is in some years.

In Graham Potter and Steven Gerrard, it does however bring together two
who have had contrasting career paths to their current positions. The
Chelsea head coach was asked about that in the build up to the match.


Whereas Potter played for a large number of clubs in a range of divisions,
Gerrard was for all but one season a one-club man at Liverpool, and while
the former England midfielder started managing at Scottish giants Rangers
before taking over at Aston Villa, Potter has developed his coaching
career by starting outside the professional game and then overseas in
Sweden before working steadily up to the higher echelons of the Premier
League, gaining a variety of experiences along the way.


'I don't think it is good to compare yourself to anybody else,' said
Potter on the question of which is the preferable route.

'You don't know their context or their circumstances. All you can do is
concentrate on yourself and your path and that's the great thing about
coaching, you can take different ways to get to the same point.


'I think my path has been good for me. I don't think it's necessarily the
right path for everyone but for me personally, I'm very happy with it and
I'm very grateful for it. Somebody else can do something completely
different, that's absolutely fine, but for me it's been really good.

In early 2011, Swedish fourth tier side Ostersund appointed Graham Potter
as manager


'It depends on the person, depends on the playing career, depends on lots
of things,' he added.


'I was a university football coach. I had to take the steps to develop
myself and give myself a reason, give myself a narrative as to why I'll be
employed - step by step, achieving things. But everyone's different,
that's the beauty of it. You look at Pep for example. He's gone straight
in at the top and has been fantastic, so everybody's different.'


Villa start today's game in 16th position with one win in their past seven
league outings. Potter confirmed empathy is felt in his profession when
other coaches come under pressure.


'We all want the feeling of success but sometimes it isn't straightforward
and you have to suffer. You know that, because of the media interest in
the league, because of the narrative around managers and pressure, and
it's hard,


'It's something to talk about and if it's not VAR, if it's not referee
watch, if it is not the transfer window, it's managers under pressure.
It's part of the narrative and we can't complain about that. You have to
ride it out when it is you and respectfully deal with it when it is
somebody else.'


With Potter returning to his native West Midlands today, he was quizzed on
any early Aston Villa affiliation he may have had. His mind went back to
the early 1980s when that club were crowned European champions.


'One of my first footballing memories is my brother sat with the European
Cup in the British Legion in Shirley. It goes to show how far football has
gone - you could take the European Cup to the Shirley British Legion!

'We had the picture at home with my brother with the cup with Ken McNaught
and Peter Withe. So I liked that Villa team, Tony Morley, Gary Shaw. Then
I started playing for Birmingham City and then you realise you can't have
allegiances to both of those, so in the end I didn't support anybody.'
