: 護犢子護到如此地步 弗格森竟祝英格蘭歐錦賽成績糟糕
曼聯官網的另一篇報導
觀點剛好相反 :P
不過內容還是在講說我們暑假時會超忙
要到美國 有歐冠的資格賽 Vodafone Cup 還有可能要比慈善盾
Sir Alex說通常在賽季暖身前會讓球員休息28天
這樣到賽季後半部才不會沒力
不過看來這個暑假一定沒辦法好好養精蓄銳
得把這些熱身友誼賽看的更重要 當成訓練的一部份
英格蘭在Euro 2004走的遠不遠也是安排管理賽程的關鍵
雖然如此 SAF還是祝福英格蘭有好的表現
這對英格蘭足球在國際足壇上也有正面的效果

This summer’s European Championships could have a significant bearing
on United’s 2004/05 campaign – but Sir Alex is nevertheless hoping
for English success in the tournament.
Ferguson is acutely aware that the further the likes of England,
France and Holland progress in this summer's Euro 2004 tournament,
the more of an impact it will have on his preparations for next season.
With five of Ferguson’s squad possibly involved – Scholes, Butt, the
Nevilles and Wes Brown – success at Euro 2004 for England would
necessitate a reshuffle to the United boss’s pre-season plans.
But, despite his Scottish roots, Fergie says it is important England
in particular perform well in Portugal - for the good of the domestic
game.
"I hope they do well, I really do,” he says. “It would be great for
the English game. It's come to the time in international football where
England need to make their mark. “Domestically, clubs have made very
good progress. Chelsea have done fantastically well this season.
”Each year we get closer to that consistent success in Europe and there
is no reason why the international team, with players like Gerrard,
Scholes, Beckham, Owen and Rooney, can't go far.
"That would give me a problem [if England got to the final]. That would
mean they wouldn't be back to train with us until 2 August; meaning they
would go straight into the pre-season tournament. But that would only
give me nine days before the Champions League qualifier."
The European Cup qualifier – the first of two legs on 11 August –
is the thorny issue for Sir Alex.
"It's going to be about arranging when my players come back from the
European Championships,” he said. “I normally give my players a 28-day
rest after coming back from European Championships. If England were
to get to the final we would have a problem."
It may seem, then, that the Vodafone Cup, announced yesterday for the
3 and 5 August, puts unnecessary pressure on the players, who have
international commitments and a three-game return to the US in July.
However, Sir Alex’s stance is markedly different. "We are going to
need matches in pre-season,” he insists. “Normally we have six games
prior to the beginning of the season. We have three games in America,
two in the Vodafone Cup, that makes five. The Community Shield would
be an important one if we get there. We also have the qualifiers of
the Champions League.
"We have a tight schedule and there is no disputing that. It is going
to take good management and we have a lot of organising to do in terms
of who is going to be playing where, and when they can play. A lot
depends on how far teams go in the European Championships."
