上面介紹阿根廷球員, 選了幾個有外號的….
Roberto Ayala
Argentina's captain under coach Marcelo Bielsa and heading for his second finals.
Strong and dependable central defender who is good in the air,
making up for his relatively small stature with exceptional timing,
he also has good distribution.
Made his mark at River Plate before moving to Europe with Napoli.
Ended a disappointing spell with AC Milan by joining Valencia and helped
them reach their second successive European Cup final last year.
Nicknamed Raton (mouse) after namesake Ruben Ayala who played on the
wing in 1974 World Cup side but is not related.
因為和別人同樣姓Ayala, 從此得到一個莫名其妙的綽號…….
Ariel Ortega
Nicknamed Burrito (little donkey) after a local bar where he regularly
met up with friends in his Andean home town of Jujuy.
Developed mesmerising dribbling skills playing with older and bigger boys
which helped earn him the tag of the new Maradona early in his career
with River Plate, where he returned in 2000 after a not too successful spell
in Spain and Italy.
英文太差, 看不太懂小毛驢的由來…
Claudio Lopez
Known as Piojo (louse), for his elusiveness and slight build,
he is a very fast striker who made his mark at Racing Club before
embarking on a European career with Valencia. A Passarella favourite
who has kept his place with Bielsa. Moved to Lazio in 2000 after their
Serie A title victory.
沒那麼瘦小吧…….虱子、跳蚤(泣)
Pablo Aimar
Played alongside Riquelme in 1997 Youth Cup and was his only serious rival
for the title of most creative player in Argentina until his transfer from River Plate
to Valencia in 2000. Helped River win their last league title in December 1999
as part of a brilliant attacking trio that included Javier Saviola and Colombian
Juan Pablo Angel. Has struggled at times to make his mark in Spain.
Nicknamed Payaso (clown) because he always has a smile on his face.
這裡說得比較好聽……難道笑也不行嗎?!
Juan Sebastian Veron
Known as La Brujita (little witch) after father Juan Ramon La Bruja of
Estudiantes de La Plata fame in the late 1960s, he is the hub of Bielsa's side,
galvanising a mainly reserve team to come from behind against Wales in
Cardiff in February. Has had a quiet if effective first season with United -
after a storming start that had the British media talking of the Player of the
Year award in September. Usually called Seba, could be one of the
players of the tournament.
好像很少人這樣叫他……
Matias Almeyda
He played under Passarella in the central midfield role, has good positional sense
and distribution. Missed Wales friendly in February through injury. Now wears his
hair long but as a boy always had it very short hence nickname Pelado (baldy).
還是留長髮好些….
Gabriel Batistuta (Batigol,沒什麼好說的)
Javier Saviola
Nicknamed Conejo (rabbit) by goalkeeper German Burgos at River
because he is so fast and elusive. Supremely gifted top scorer
for champions Argentina in the World Youth Cup on home soil last year,
he has only two senior caps as a substitute but he is fast
getting used to rugged defences in top flight European football.
Has a very fast turn of speed reminiscent of Maradona and could
sneak a place in the 23 as a potential match-winner.
這裡也說得比較好聽, 速度快總比暴牙好……
Claudio Caniggia
Nicknamed Pajaro (bird) but more often called Cani, he is a veteran of the 1990
and 1994 World Cups and Copa America winner with Argentina in 1991.
He earned his first call up in nearly six years for the Wales friendly in February
after just three appearances under Passarella in 1996. Left Boca Juniors, with
whom he had a pay dispute, in 1999 looking to revive his career at Atalanta,
where he had played in the early 1990s, and was thrown a lifeline by former
team mate Dario Bonetti at Dundee, the stepping stone to his late revival.
Faces stiff opposition, however, from younger forwards for a short intense
tournament.
奇怪的是疾風之子是從那裡來的綽號……
Cristian Gonzalez
Called Kily since he was a child when he could not pronounce his first name properly.
As a Boca Juniors player, made a bizarre start to his career under Passarella against
Brazil in December 1995, coming on as a late substitute for his debut and being sent
off three minutes later. His next cap, the first of 28 under Bielsa, came against
Mexico in Chicago three and a half years later.
A fast left sided attacking midfielder who played in two losing European Cup finals
for his club.
對不起, 我一直以為你的名字就是Kily Gonzalez……
