西蒙尼：過去那支特別的西班牙隊(duì)終會(huì)卷土重來
導(dǎo)語：率領(lǐng)馬德里競技勇奪西甲冠軍的少帥迭戈·西蒙尼已經(jīng)加入我們，成為世界杯報(bào)道版塊的索尼技術(shù)指導(dǎo)大使(Sony Coaching Ambassador)。在第一篇獨(dú)家專欄中，他分析了西班牙世界杯過早出局的原因。
Spain made us fall in love with the football we saw at Barcelona. It was an incredible moment which brought together a wonderful group of individuals – and the results were there for all to see.
借鑒了巴塞羅那踢法的西班牙隊(duì)讓我們深深愛上了足球。當(dāng)一批優(yōu)秀的人才齊聚一堂時(shí)，那真是令人難以置信的美妙時(shí)刻，而他們所創(chuàng)造的成績也是有目共睹。
Today, that moment is not the same as before and all the rest are always looking to try to beat them, to beat Barcelona and to beat Spain – so it’s logical some have found the formula for competing against them.
今天，那樣的時(shí)刻不同以往。所有人一直在想方設(shè)法擊敗巴塞羅那隊(duì)、擊敗西班牙隊(duì)。因此，有人找到了擊敗他們的良方也是合理的。
I consider that football is a game in which the rival is sometimes superior and in that respect, both Netherlands and Chile played better, with more intensity and identified the best way to play against Spain.
我認(rèn)為足球比賽中，對手的發(fā)揮有時(shí)會(huì)更出色。在這方面，荷蘭隊(duì)和智利隊(duì)都踢得更好，憑借著更高的強(qiáng)度和公認(rèn)的最佳方式擊敗了西班牙。
Football is very changeable. Spain’s players will have gone to the World Cup aiming to give their best, but when another team prepares as well as you and competes as you do, playing with more intensity and more aggressively, you can end up losing.
足球世界瞬息萬變。西班牙隊(duì)的球員們?yōu)槭澜绫弑M全力，但當(dāng)其他球隊(duì)也和你一樣準(zhǔn)備充分、同場競爭，但踢得更激烈、更具有侵略性時(shí)，你就可能輸?shù)舯荣悺?/p>
There was no Xavi against Chile, but Spain didn’t depend totally upon Xavi . . . they depended on a collective which dominated possession and was also very solid. In the last World Cup, Spain never won by more than two goals. But in this one, they have been unable to repeat that possession, with Xavi or without Xavi, and they haven’t been solid either.
對陣智利隊(duì)的比賽，哈維沒有上場。但西班牙隊(duì)并不完全依賴于哈維。他們依賴于一個(gè)掌控傳接球的團(tuán)隊(duì)，而在過去這個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)牢不可破。在上屆世界杯，西班牙隊(duì)從未贏球超過2個(gè)。而在這屆，他們沒能重現(xiàn)那樣的控球場面，無論哈維是否在場，他們都不再牢固。
With the result as it is, it would also be very easy to say that Diego Costa didn’t work out. Spain were used to playing at one rhythm and one pace, while Costa offers other characteristics. If you don’t take advantage of Costa’s runs, you isolate him.
根據(jù)比賽結(jié)果，我們會(huì)很容易地說迭戈·科斯塔沒有發(fā)揮作用。西班牙過去習(xí)慣于一個(gè)節(jié)奏和一種速度的踢法，而科斯塔帶來了不同的技術(shù)特點(diǎn)。如果在場上不能利用科斯塔的跑動(dòng)優(yōu)勢，他就會(huì)被孤立。
He likes to exploit the spaces, to attack from deep positions and to get on the end of final passes, but Spain’s football focuses more on the collective. Playing that collective game, Spain haven’t performed at their best, nor were they able to take advantage of Costa and the characteristics he brings.
科斯塔喜歡創(chuàng)造空間、突前站位、搶點(diǎn)進(jìn)攻，但西班牙足球過分強(qiáng)調(diào)團(tuán)隊(duì)配合。踢這樣團(tuán)隊(duì)配合的比賽，西班牙隊(duì)既不能發(fā)揮他們的最佳水平，也無法利用科斯塔和他的技術(shù)特點(diǎn)。
A coach knows why he picked the players he picked. I have never wanted to interfere or talk about that. And it wouldn’t be fair to talk about changes, either. Spain have always played this way and done really well playing this way. Those calling for a ‘Plan B’ should have done so when everyone was speaking wonders of Spain and the way they played.
一名教練要清楚自己挑選每個(gè)球員的原因。我從未想過干涉或談?wù)撨@方面。而且現(xiàn)在談?wù)撨@些變動(dòng)也并不公平。西班牙一直是這種打法，而且踢得很好。那些現(xiàn)在要求制定后備方案的人，在當(dāng)時(shí)所有人都驚嘆西班牙隊(duì)和他們的打法時(shí)，就該預(yù)想到這一點(diǎn)。
The reality is that if others prepare to win and compete to win, sometimes they do better than you. And that’s what happened to Spain. That’s football. This time they lost, but I’m sure Spain will be back competing again – just like they have done for the last 10 years.
現(xiàn)實(shí)就是如果對方志在取勝并為之奮力的話，有時(shí)他們就會(huì)踢得比你好。西班牙就遇到了這樣的情況。這就是足球。這次他們失敗了，但我相信西班牙隊(duì)會(huì)卷土重來——就像他們在過去10年所做的那樣。
