雖然是The Sun惡名昭彰的Niel Custis跟Daily Star的報導
不過是說Smith的好話 而且內容感覺蠻真實的
所以還是看看吧! ^^

We've Let Everyone Down
Alan Smith believes the boo-boys have shaken Manchester United into action.
United responded from defeat and catcalls against Blackburn on Saturday
with a 2-1 win over Benfica on Tuesday. And Smith reckons the criticism
they received for that 2-1 beating by Rovers from fans and pundits
will probably do them good in the long run.
The midfielder said: “I think the criticism helps you sometimes.
No one ever learns anything from winning matches all the time.
Sometimes it covers over cracks.
Criticism hurts everybody and I think players at times need to
take it personally. A few of us have done that. But also when you
get criticised it builds bridges and bonds among players.”
Smith revealed United held a major inquest on Sunday
at their Carrington training ground. He added: “It does hurt
when people boo you. Everyone probably thinks we just walked off
that pitch on Saturday and forgot about it. I’ll tell you we didn’t.
We spoke about it Sunday morning going out training and it wasn’t nice.
There were no people more disappointed than us after the defeat to Blackburn.”

We're Al Up For It Now
Alan Smith has revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson inspired Manchester United
to hit back after their mini-crisis. And Smith admits United's stars
beat Benfica thanks to some serious soulsearching.
Smith said: "The manager asked his big players like Ruud van Nistelrooy
and Ryan Giggs to stand up and be counted against Benfica.
He said he needed his more experienced men to show their quality
- and that's what they did."

史密斯說：「當自己的球迷發出噓聲時，我們的心裡很難過，我想可能有不少球迷以
為我們在比賽之後很快就忘掉了輸球的痛苦，但實際上我們並沒有。直到第二天的訓練時
，我們還在說這件事，我想越是在困難的情況下越能鍛煉一個球員的意志。批評當然令人
傷心，但這種時候我們必須面對現實。批評反而能讓人學到東西，連續贏球反而會掩蓋一
些矛盾，輸球讓我們更清醒。」
無論如何，與布萊克本的比賽中，曼聯的後防線上4名球員3人都不是主力，而且前鋒
魯尼還停賽，史密斯說：「在本菲卡隊將比分扳平之後，我們的確有點慌亂，但如果我們
沒有一個良好的團隊精神，我們就不可能再進一球。這說明輸給布萊克本並沒有泯滅我們
的鬥志，反而激發了大家的潛能。」
