Röviden összefoglalva azok kedvéért, akik nem beszélnek angolul (sok újdonság mondjuk nincs benne):miki36 írta:Duff nyilatkozata: (a Q-val kezdődő mondatok a kérdések, az A-val kezdődőek pedig duff válaszai.)
Q WAS IT A BIG DECISION TO LEAVE CHELSEA?
A I had a great three years at Chelsea which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I'd like to think they enjoyed me as well. But I just want to get back playing. I just want to play week in and week out because when I do that I am at my best. I'm not kidding anyone because I know I struggled in the second half of last season, so I guess I've something to prove to myself, but not to Chelsea. I'm the only one.
Q IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN EASY TURNING YOUR BACK ON THE CHAMPIONS THOUGH?
A I've had problems for the last three or four months because I didn't play enough. I just had a feeling that I wasn't guaranteed to play a lot this season. So I told Chelsea that if clubs came in for me I'd like to speak to them. Newcastle did and I'm happy to be here.
Q PEOPLE ARE ALREADY DRAWING COMPARISONS BETWEEN YOU AND CHRIS WADDLE, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
A I don't need to be compared to greats like that. I want to be my own man and play my own game. Hopefully I can become a hero like him, and I'm not saying I left Chelsea just to get worshipped. All I want to do is play football and be happy inside because I've not been happy for a while. I hope this is a place I can be happy.
Q WHAT CONVINCED YOU NEWCASTLE WAS THE CLUB FOR YOU?
A It feels special here. Playing here with Chelsea and Blackburn it was an unbelievable place to come as an away player, it's probably the most passionate place in England to play. That is one of the many factors why I wanted to come here.
Q WITH OTHER CLUBS INTERESTED, DID IT TAKE LONG TO REACH A DECISION?
A It took a couple of days. I spoke to the gaffer and the lads here like Scott Parker, Steve Carr and Shay Given but at the end I listened to my heart. Maybe there are a lot of Liverpool supporters in Ireland saying 'why didn't you sign for us' but my heart told me to come to Newcastle United.
Q DID THE PASSION OF THE NEWCASTLE FANS INFLUENCE YOUR DECISION?
A I've played here before. I know what the fans are like. They're special and they gave me a great welcome outside. It will be totally different playing in black and white than playing as an away player, so I can't wait for that.
Q WHAT ARE YOUR IMMEDIATE AMBITIONS?
A I'm here to play football, not to make friends. I'll be my own man, play my own game, and hopefully get off to a good start on Saturday and have a good five years plus at Newcastle.
Q AND IN THE LONG TERM?
A I hope we can bring success. Obviously we're not kidding ourselves, it's a massive job ahead of us and we know we're not going to be challenging for the Premier League this year. But I'm here for five years and hope to do great things.
- Bár nagyon jól érezte magát nálunk, az utóbbi néhány hónapban az volt az érzése, hogy jm nem fog rá számítani annyiszor, mint azt szeretné. (Sajnos ezt jól érzi
)- A geordie-k mellett az szólt a többi érdeklődő klubhoz képest, hogy a Newcastle szurkolói egyedülálló fokú szenvedéllyel szeretik a csapatot, amit az eddigi idegenbeli meccseken tapasztalt (Ezt egyébként magam is így gondolom, sőt mástól is hallottam hasonló véleményt)
- Hosszabb távon az eddigieknél sikeresebb szerepléshez szeretné segíteni új csapatát
Ha esetleg kihagytam valami fonotosabb dolgot, egészítsetek ki. Az biztos, hogy ebben az interjúban semminemű kritikával nem illeti a Chelsea-t, tengődő játékosokat pedig végképp nem említett...
Fordítgass!! Az mindig jót tesz.
