英格兰球星贝克汉姆日前宣布将在赛季末退役,这一消息引起了全球媒体的关注。在巴黎的Le Bristol 酒店,他第一时间接受了好友、昔日曼联队友加里▪内维尔《天空体育》的专访。在曼联开始职业生涯时两人曾是室友,如今小贝对加里敞开了心扉。 贝克汉姆开玩笑说,当欧冠与巴萨交锋、被梅西一下子过掉的那一瞬间,他意识到自己已经老了。“在那场主场比赛里,当梅西带球过掉我的时候,我可能就知道(该退役)了。能这样告别是件好事,很简单,你作为一个冠军离开,所以我认为,现在是合适的时机了。” 以下为专访全文内容: Gary Neville: You’ve just announced your retirement. Why now? 加里·内维尔:你刚刚宣布退役,为什么选在这个时候? David Beckham: I think over the years when I’ve seen players retire, when you ask them about it, they always say ‘you’ll know when you’re ready’. And I think I know when I’m ready. I think I’m ready. Obviously it’s a difficult decision because I still like I can play at the top level and still have done for the last six months. But I always said to myself that I want to go out at the top. If you’d said to me eight months ago that I’d be playing in the French league, winning the French Cup, winning the league, and finishing like this, I would have said ‘absolutely no chance’. But I was given the opportunity to come to PSG and I just feel now is the time. |
