Rafa Benitez challenges Ryan Babel to fill Liverpool's attacking void
拉法.贝尼特斯激励 瑞恩.巴贝尔 填补利物浦进攻空缺
Deprived of the transfer funds he so desperately needed to bolster his squad, Rafa Benitez has instead challenged Ryan Babel to fill the void in Liverpool’s attack which many of the club’s fans had hoped would be filled by a glamorous, multi-million pound signing
在失去了迫切需要增强球队实力的转会资金后,拉法转为激励巴贝尔来填补利物浦进攻方法的空缺,而不是球迷们希望的令人激动的大手笔签约。
Babel himself, of course, did not come cheap, arriving just days before Fernando Torres for a fee of £13.5 million and bearing a reputation as one of the most exciting prospects in Europe. In his two years at Anfield, though, the Dutch international has flattered to deceive. Glimpses of his gifts in his first campaign gave way to stagnation in his second. Anything but progress in his third is likely to herald the end of his Liverpool career.
当然,巴贝尔来的也不便宜,在托雷斯来到安菲尔德之前几天用1300万英镑签下的,并且他也被寄予欧洲最具前途的球员之一。但是在他在安菲尔德的两年里,荷兰人却是有孚众望。他第一个赛季所表现出来的天赋被他第二赛季的停滞不前所让人忽略了。而第三个赛季的表现将决定他的利物浦生涯。
“Ryan knows he has to perform this year at a different level,” said Benitez, denied a move for David Silva by Liverpool’s financial woes. “He has to give something this year. He is really focused and wants to improve, and you could see that from the first day of pre-season training.Sometimes players, especially Dutch players, need more time, but now he knows what is going on here.
“瑞恩知道他这个赛季必须表现出更高的水准,”贝尼特斯说,在由于利物浦的财政悲剧而致使大卫.席尔瓦转会失败之后。“今年他必须表现出来些东西了。他确实很专注并且渴望进步,这点你可以从他季前赛的第一天训练就可以看出来了。有些球员,特别是荷兰球员,需要更多的时间,但他知道现在球队的情形。”
Liverpool are expected to unveil Sotirios Kyrgiakos on Saturday after the £1.5 million defender completed a medical in time to face Aston Villa on Monday. Daniel Agger, who will undergo a back operation in France next week, is likely to face at least six weeks out.
在周六及时(能够在周一出战阿斯顿维拉)完成150万英镑后卫的体检,利物浦期待Sotirios Kyrgiakos的亮相。而丹尼尔.阿格,由于下周要去法国完成背伤的手术,将缺席至少六周。
Rapping is my hobby
Rappers dont want trouble
I'm the Liverpool star those bitches are loving
I know what time it is - I've just bought a new watch
Ill give you a punchline: eight seconds, youll be knocked down
Towel in the ring
My family in the V.I.P
No caviar for us, Surinamers eat chicken
Ya'll know nothing: this is the Premier League
Representing the G
You can see this n***a with number 19
Ya'll can f*** off, I f*** with a whole team
Ya'll can talk, but you dont get anything with it
Ya'll can't be like me, my status is too high
If rappers come to close, I have to take space
People watch YouTube to learn my actions
I have those skills, try some tricks
I was a poor n***a
Now I make f***ing money
I went from the Euro to the English pound
I put money in my pocket, now I spend money on nothing
I like it this way, I'm sure you like it
If somebody want beef, well come on
I like it with some pepper, homie
I'm sure in my life
Give me the f***ing ball, you lose both legs
And now my competition is past
If you hate me because of that, I say youre right
If I was you, I would hate me too
I have the s**t homie
I cant even spend all my money
Keep your daughter in sight. or you will be my family
Ill take your daughter and let her make clean
101 Barz - this is the first time but I came hard!
I came alone, I don't have a back-up
I came because I mean it
Check it
Liverpool's Ryan Babel
has admitted he is keen to join former club Ajax on loan in January and has accused Rafa Benitez of failing to keep promises regarding his first team chances.
Babel, an £11.5m signing from Ajax in the summer of 2007, has become an increasingly peripheral figure at Anfield and after starting the opening day defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, the Dutch international has played only 14 minutes as a substitute since.
Benitez only started the 22-year-old in six Premier League games last season and Babel is growing ever more frustrated with his inability to command a regular place, particularly with Holland looking forward to their participation at the World Cup finals next summer.
Now the Amsterdam-born forward is keen to return to his hometown club on loan in January having been disappointed by the chances afforded to him in the early part of the season.
"There have been a lot of things promised, but they haven't been followed up," Babel told De Telegraaf. "I would get to play for more minutes and have more chances, but after the first defeat, I only lost my place.
"I think half a season at Ajax with a view to the World Cup wouldn't be a bad idea. I can add something to the Ajax squad.
"Loaning me out was not an option (in the summer). Now we have agreed to review the situation in January. I see the current situation as a signal that I really have to get playing."
Babel was not initially included in Holland's squad for their upcoming fixtures against Japan and Scotland but was called up by Bert van Marwijk following an injury to Ibrahim Afellay.
