from Celticfc.net Keane: This is where I belong by Paul Cuddihy Keane和Celtic簽下十八個月的合約,意味著他將在Celtic踢到2007年六月。 在記者會中,Keane侃侃而談,表示很高興自己加入Celtic, 在與包括West Brom等很多英超球隊和皇馬談過之後, 覺得Celtic才是他歸屬的地方。 Keane表示這大概是他最後一份球員合約, 也提到自己來Celtic不是為了展現自己的ego, 不是來養老休息的,當然不可能為了經濟因素,更不是為了要討好任何人。 他踢足球,就是為了勝利,為了幫助Celtic更上一層樓, 爭取榮譽和獎盃。 Keane說他從不把自己在球隊的主力位置視為理所當然, 來到Celtic也是一樣。他會在近期把體能調好,多認識隊友, 準備在明年為球隊效力。 他說其實他的體能狀況很好,還開著玩笑說: 「很多人都以為我已經94歲了,其實我才34歲。」 他的體能其實在幾個禮拜前就沒問題了,在曼聯時本來預計要踢一場預備隊比賽的, 但最後被取消。基於歐洲足聯的規定他必須要等到明年才能上場, 這段時間剛好可以拿來熟悉隊形,在訓練中多加強。 他還說他喜歡踢球、喜歡訓練、喜歡督促自己、也喜歡督促隊友盡全力, 雖然這在現代的足球中有些孤掌難鳴。但他還是會繼續這樣表現下去。 (I push myself very hard every day, and I try to push my teammates hard. And people are quite happy with that up to maybe a few months ago.) 祝福Keano! “I FEEL this is where I belong.” With these words, Roy Keane announced his arrival at Celtic Park in a transfer that is the most high-profile the club has ever been involved in. Certainly the impact it has made stretches way beyond the confines of Scotland and it only serves to further increase the stature of the club throughout the football world. The Irishman has signed an initial 18-month contract, keeping him at the club until June 2007. And as news quickly spread of the signing coup, Celtic supporters began to gather outside the front entrance of the stadium in their hundreds. Facing a packed media today as he was officially unveiled, Keane himself looked calm and confident and spoke with a quiet assurance that the decision to sign for Celtic is the right one for him. “It’s a great move for me,” the Irish internationalist said. “It was important that I took my time over the past three or four weeks but now that everything’s done it’s a good day for me. It’s been a strange few weeks since leaving United but it’s a great move for me and I’m really looking forward to the challenge. “It was important I took my time and made the right decision and walking round the club today I felt really comfortable. I’ve met one or two of the players and I feel this is where I belong. It’s been documented over the years that I’ve been up to Celtic Park for a few games and I’ve always enjoyed coming up and watching them. They’re seeking to improve and win titles, and that’s what I’m in the game for. I’ve not come up here on a PR trip or an ego trip or to unwind, far from it. “I’m here to win football matches and help the squad. I’m very much a team player, despite the reports. I want the team to do well and that’s what I’ve come up here for and that’s what I’ve come up here for, to help the club move onto the next level and win trophies. “That’s what I’m in the game for. I’m not necessarily in the game to be popular. I like training hard, I like playing hard. I like pushing myself. I like pushing the people I work with hard. In the modern day there seems to be a problem with that but that’s what I enjoy doing. “A team like Celtic, which is challenging for trophies, needs a big squad and I’m well aware that the players who are at Celtic have done very well. I’m under no illusions that I’m going to come up here and walk straight into the team. I’ve never done that in my career. I’ve never taken my position for granted so what I’m looking to do over the next couple of weeks is to train hard and give the manager a problem. “But I think when I was at my previous club, when we bought midfielders I saw that as a challenge and hopefully the players here will see that as a challenge. If you want to be successful you need a big squad and everyone’s going to be vying for eleven positions and I’m no different from that. “Over the next couple of weeks my priority is to try and get a bit of sharpness and getting to know my new team-mates.” And when asked about how his reputation as a plain speaker would go down in the Celtic dressing-room, Keane joked: “I’m sure they’ll love me!” He went on to say: “I never ask a team-mate to do anything I wouldn’t be prepared to do myself and I know there are a lot of good players here – a lot of senior players and a lot of young lads. The fans will judge me on what I do on the football pitch and not on what I say. There’s been a lot of nonsense written over the past few months over what I’ve supposed to have said but I’ve come up here to try and do well and help the squad.” The player is not eligible to play for Celtic until January 1, 2006, but he dismissed any fears regarding the current state of his fitness. “I was fit four or five week ago,” he explained. “Just before I left United I was due to play in a reserve match but that was shelved. It’s been frustrating, but I’m glad I took those few extra weeks to take my time and make my decision and come up with the right decision. “I’m looking forward to all the games. The players here have done brilliantly and, considering the position I play, the best two players in Scotland over the past four or five years have been Neil Lennon and Stilian Petrov, so, again I’m under no illusions as to how hard it will be.” -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.72.38.151 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: narcolepsy (absolutely love Keano) 看板: ManUtd 標題: Re: Keane: Celtic is where I belong 時間: Sat Dec 17 15:12:51 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/4526940.stm (右上角有記者會連結) 補充之前幾篇沒寫到的 由於蘇超規定新簽約球員不得在轉會期中登錄第一天就為新球隊上場, 所以Keane第一場為Celtic出戰的機會將是明年 1/8, Scottish Cup第三輪比賽,在Broadwood Stadium對Clyde。 "I've been in the Premiership for a long time and feel I have proved myself there and needed a different environment, different teams, different grounds," said Keane, who had in 1999 said that he would like to end his career at Celtic Park. Keane will not be eligible to make his Celtic debut against Hearts at Tynecastle on New Year's Day as Scottish Premier League rules do not allow for players to be both registered and play on the first day of the new transfer window. He will instead be aiming to face Clyde at Broadwood Stadium in the Scottish Cup third round the following weekend. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.72.38.151 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- < 作者: narcolepsy (absolutely love Keano) 看板: ManUtd 標題: Re: Keane: Celtic is where I belong 時間: Sat Dec 17 15:21:51 2005 http://tinyurl.com/bjs2y Keane加盟Celtic http://tinyurl.com/djm6y 加入後第一天訓練 http://tinyurl.com/cecda http://tinyurl.com/dp4ns http://tinyurl.com/c72mz http://tinyurl.com/de6l7 http://tinyurl.com/dsq2o -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.72.38.151 ※ 編輯: narcolepsy 來自: 203.72.38.151 (12/17 15:29)
