巴尼特視角：好消息中的決賽
2007-02-27 00:09:42 切爾西中文官方網站
作為記者、編輯和電臺解說員，尼爾-巴尼特已經跟蹤報導切爾西超過20年。他認為
，
2007年的聯賽杯決賽應該比今天報紙報導的更好。
昨晚，在比賽結束幾個小時之後，在卡迪夫街頭遍佈的切爾西球迷--很多像我一樣在
外面吃飯而不是走在回家的擁擠不堪的道路上--都只有一個問題：JT怎麼樣了？
當他們得到確認的消息說他有些迷糊但還好，以及已經和球隊在一起的時候，幾乎所
有人不管在做什麼，他們的下一句話都是：難道不是太好了麼！
就是這樣的，切爾西在與一支天才的阿森納隊的比賽中贏得了聯賽杯的決賽，沒錯，
阿森納有幾名年輕的球員，但我們有迪亞拉、米克爾以及後來上場的卡勞。穆裏尼奧承認
阿森納在我們的幾條線間活動，為我們的菱形中場製造了麻煩。他們實踐了 4-2-3-1的陣
型，所以他們有5個人圍繞著我們的4個人。那同樣將巴普蒂斯塔推向了馬克萊萊，只要我
們在控球。他們在擠壓我們的陣型。
何塞對這些問題作出了處理，他撤下了馬克萊萊，將陣型變成了 4-3-3，換上了羅本
，為對手製造麻煩。毫無疑問，如果你跟蹤我們本賽季的比賽，不管是菱形中場的4-4-2
，還是4-3-3陣型，都不比另外一個好，但當我們表現不好，並作出改變時，B計畫經常比
A計畫運轉得更好。 克拉克暗示了其中原因，可能是由於球員的超強能力，我們只是可以
比對手更快的作出改變。何塞說蘭帕德和巴拉克在下半場的表現要好很多，我們的 3中場
更加緊湊了，有了更多的從容和寬度。但德羅巴再一次重申了我們應該在比賽的開始表現
更好，尤其是重要的比賽。在這場與阿森納和之前對利物浦的比賽中，我們的開局都不好
。
凱利-迪克森經常說我們當作為一支球隊時看上去更加壯觀，當然羅本給了我們例證
。
所以我們找出了戰術的問題，並且贏得了聯賽杯。我們的切赫、卡瓦略、德羅巴和替補上
場的羅本表現都非常出色，迪亞拉和替補上場的米克爾都令人充滿了希望。同時，我們找
出了另一個特里受傷時不利於恢復的因素。何塞週五在賽前新聞發佈會上說了埃辛在中後
場是一名多麼重要的中場，有時你可以在他的想法中明白，但他是一名重要的中後場球員
，在上半時的45分鐘裏，他幾乎不時作為一名根據中場需要進行調整的中後場球員。蘭帕
德和舍甫琴科在下半場重炮集中門框的射門預示了切爾西最終的勝利。
然後，在傷停補時階段出現了"爭吵"。這是很不幸的一件事，但當我今天重新看它的
時候，我被這樣一件女子手提包一樣的事驚呆了，我認為米克爾不應該被罰下，圖雷失去
了他的冷靜，他應該下去，在膠片中，我也沒看到布裏奇遭受的那記肘擊。昨晚10點在
BBC廣播5台--之前我在聽清楚的M4--他們用了整整一個小時討論了這次混亂，以及它有多
麼不光彩。尼傑爾-溫特本最後一個打進了電話，他支援了球員，說了蘭帕德在比賽結束
時說的話，那是錯誤的，但他道出了贏得這項賽事的球隊的熱情。
今天報紙都把它和特里的悲慘一幕放在了頭條，同時還有他舉起獎盃的高興瞬間。他
們沒有說的是，那個混亂比約特里受傷後的一幕更加吸引人們的目光。在特里受傷後，雙
方的球員都圍攏了過來，阿森納(也是英格蘭隊)的理療師加里-勒文剛好從球門後走過，
他趕緊上前弄清約翰的喉嚨，同時，切爾西的醫療人員穿越了半個球場的長度。另外，在
比賽結束後，雙方的球員互相握手，擁抱對手。這不是一場壞脾氣的比賽，從技術、戰術
和身體的角度來說，這是一場頂級的比賽，同時裏面加了一些佐料--30分鐘的失去冷靜。
有責任的球員將被停賽，並有可能遭受處罰，比賽會得到更高的稱讚，由於它的90分鐘(
再加上傷停補時的時間)。
我希望兩家俱樂部都不要因為那次混亂而惹禍上身，我希望他們都因嚴肅對待這項賽
事，獻上了一場精彩的決賽而受到讚美，尤其是其中的一個瞬間曾經給了我們好的脾氣。
我們的老人大衛-李乘火車去了卡迪夫觀看這場比賽，他主意到了切爾西和阿森納的球衣
是如何在四輪馬車上被融合到一起的，他說他已經10年沒看到這個了。在阿塞內-溫格回
到阿森納的更衣室的時候，在跟隨他的媒體面前他走向了阿什利-科爾，他停下來問特里
怎麼樣。 阿什利說他回來了，情況很好。溫格讓他給特里帶去最好的祝福，阿什利感謝
了他並說："當然了。"
所以，扔掉那些消極的頭條吧，讓我們迎接下一個挑戰。

LOOK AT IT THIS WAY - THE GOOD NEWS FINAL
Neil Barnett has been writing, editing and broadcasting for Chelsea for over
20 years. He believes the 2007 Carling Cup Final deserved better reviews than
today's newspapers gave it.
Hours after the end of the game last night, on the streets of Cardiff, those
Chelsea supporters who had hung around - many like me eating out rather than
battling the traffic back - had only one question: 'How is JT?'
When they were re-assured that he was a little dazed but okay, and had flown
back with the team, in nearly every case the next comment was: 'Wasn't it
great!'
And it was. Chelsea won the Carling Cup Final against a talented Arsenal team
who, yes, had some young players, but we had Lassana Diarra, John Mikel Obi
and at the very end Salomon Kalou.
Jose Mourinho admitted that Arsenal posed problems to our midfield diamond by
playing between our lines. They did that by exercising a 4-2-3-1 formation, so
they basically had five buzzing around and in-between our four.
That also allowed them to push Baptiste on to Claude Makelele whenever we had
the ball. It cramped our style of play.
Jose dealt with these problems by taking Makelele off and shifting to 4-3-3,
bringing Arjen Robben on to cause them problems.
There is absolutely no doubt if you trace our games this season that neither
the 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield nor 4-3-3 is better than the other, but
that Plan B often seems to work better than Plan A when we aren't doing well
and change.
Steve Clarke has suggested that the reason for this might be that with players
of superior ability, we are simply capable of adapting to change quicker than
the opposition. Jose said that Frank Lampard and Michael Ballack were far more
effective in the second-half when we were tighter in the midfield three and
had more pace and width.
But Didier Drogba re-iterated that we have to start games, especially big
games, better, and we haven't started big games well against Arsenal here
and Liverpool in the past.
Kerry Dixon has often said that we look much more imposing when we go for
teams rather than sit back, and of course Robben gave us that edge.
So we sorted out the tactical problems and we won the game and the Cup. We
had some terrific performances from Cech, Carvalho, Drogba and Robben when he
came on, and some promising ones from Diarra and Mikel when he came on.
We also sorted out the extra handicap of covering for John Terry when he was
injured. Jos? talked at Friday's pre-match press conference about how Michael
Essien is essentially a midfielder playing at centre-half, and you can see
that in his thinking sometimes, but he has been a magnificent centre-half,
and almost at times in the first 45 minutes he seemed a centre-half adjusting
to midfield.
Frank Lampard and Andriy Shevchenko thumped second-half shots against the
woodwork to underline Chelsea's superiority in the end.
Then in stoppage time came 'the brawl'. It was unfortunate, but I was
surprised when I re-watched it today how handbaggish it was. I thought Mikel
shouldn't have got sent off. Tour? lost his cool, and he had to go, and I
didn't see the elbow on Wayne Bridge in the footage.
On BBC Radio 5 at 10pm last night - by then I was on a moderately clear M4 - a
whole hour was given over to the brawl and how disgraceful it was. Nigel
Winterburn was on the end of a phone defending footballers, and saying what
Frank Lampard had said at the end of the game, that is was wrong but it showed
the passion the sides had to win the competition.
Today the newspapers have made their headlines with that and with the drama of
the John Terry incident followed by the happy photographs of him holding the
trophy.
What they didn't say was that the brawl was more than countered by the
splendid sight of players from both teams crowding round injured John Terry
with real concern, of Arsenal (and England) physio Gary Lewin who happened to
be behind the goal making his way back to the Arsenal bench racing on the pitch
to clear a passage in John's throat as Chelsea's medical staff ran half the
length of the pitch, and of players at the end of the game shaking hands and
embracing with opposition.
This was not a bad tempered game. This was a top class game technically,
tactically and athletically that had added ingredients - dramas - which
included a 30 seconds loss of cool.
The guilty players will suffer suspension and probably fines, and the
tournament will receive higher kudos for the quality of the 90 (plus stoppage
time) minutes.
I hope neither club gets into trouble for 'the brawl' but that both are
complimented for taking the tournament seriously, providing an excellent Final
and for all but that one moment giving us a good tempered affair.
Our former player David Lee travelled to Cardiff by train to watch, and noted
how Chelsea and Arsenal shirts were mixed together throughout the carriages.
He said that couldn't have happened 10 years ago.
As Arsene Wenger returned to the Arsenal dressing room following his media
commitments, he ran into Ashley Cole, stopped and asked after John Terry. Ash
said he was back and okay. Wenger asked for his best wishes to be sent to him,
and Ash thanked him and said: 'Of course.'
So, stuff the negative headlines. Bring on the next challenge.
