How Shearer got Viduka up for a fight with United 　　Mark Viduka is an enigmatic character but it did not take Alan Shearer long to work out how to get the best out of him. Chief sports writer Luke Edwards reports May 13 2009 by Luke Edwards, The Journal 　　When Alan Shearer marched on to Newcastle United's training ground for the first time as a manager in April and asked Mark Viduka if he wanted to fight, some would have expected punches to be thrown. 　　As a player, Shearer got the most out of every drop of talent he had been born with, yet on his first day as a manager he was confronting a player whose effort can pale in comparison to the ability he possesses. 　　Viduka is an infuriating footballer, supremely talented, but alarmingly injury prone to the point where his attitude and commitment have been openly questioned by managers and supporters frustrated by his apparent frailty. 　　Shearer, though, did not worry about a reputation and he did not listen to those who said the 33-year-old with the dodgy Achilles was a has-been ready to return to the beaches and barbecues Down Under. 维杜熊的实力不用质疑，有斗心，有才华 可是他的阿奇里斯老问题，一直影响他的状态和发挥 让一些领队和支持者对他信任不足 唯有 Shearer 力排众议，对他给予最大的信任。 　　Shearer remembered the player he had lined up against at Leeds United and Middlesbrough and the devastation he could cause to a defence when he was fit, motivated and, perhaps more significantly for a complex character like this, happy. Shearer 对他的信任源自在荔枝和米堡状态癫峰时 一人足以摧毁对手防线的能力 　　It has been an early triumph for a rookie manager who has been rewarded with the sort of high-class performances from Viduka which have reminded us that, even in the twilight of his career, he is a world-class centre forward when handled correctly. “When Alan Shearer came in, the first thing he said to me was ‘Are you up for a fight?’, said Viduka, before clarifying he had not actually meant with him. “And I am always up for a fight. 　　"No, he didn't take me into the office and say that. It was at the training ground and I said 'definitely'. I was in a situation (like this) at Leeds and getting relegated is not a pretty thing. It's something no one likes. 　　"That was what I needed to hear. Listen, I always–I wouldn't say looked up to–but I admired Alan as a player. He knows we play the same position and when someone like that comes, someone with that kind of personality, and what he has done in the game and they come to you and say 'I need you'. Things start, you know, it lifts you up, really lifts you up, no matter who you are.” 维杜熊很高兴，Shearer 是在训练场上直接问他，而不是叫他去办公室详谈 他二话不说，向老妖表达作战到底的决心 他相信 Shearer 球员时代跟他踢相同位置，也是世界级射手 所以了解他一直作战一直希望领队给他信任的慾望，给他激励。 用这麽短的时间把维杜熊的状态提升起来，是 Shearer 取得第一胜的关键！ 　　Viduka received a standing ovation when he was replaced late on against Boro with the game already won, a reaction in stark contrast to the treatment he received during the 2-1 away defeat by Wigan Athletic back in December when he was booed and jeered by some United fans. 相比上次客场对威根时被自家球迷狂嘘的场面 维杜熊用一场重要而久违的胜利换回球迷的支持和欢迎 　　Dogged by an Achilles injury which needs to be carefully managed and which will end his career eventually, Viduka has rarely been fit this season. When he was, however, he found himself working with a manager, Joe Kinnear, who did not understand him and, therefore, failed to get anything like the best from him. 　　"I'm really happy at the moment," said Viduka, who has been told by Shearer he may still earn a one-year extension to his contract if he can prove he deserves it between now and the end of the season. 原来老妖有提醒维杜熊，这几场的表现关乎能否争取延长一年合同。 （这下糟了，我不想熊成为另一个为拿到饭票打出表现的例子。看看阿梅和副队长） 　　"Put it this way, when a couple of months ago, I was in a situation when I had problems with my Achilles and stuff like that, Joe Kinnear really wasn't . . . he didn't look as if he wanted to use me and stuff like that. I'd worked really hard to get myself back, but you know under Joe Kinnear, I don't know what he was thinking, but I don't think he wanted to use me. 维杜熊顺道批评金老爷爷在位期间冷待他（。。。那时候当红是阿梅） 　　"If Alan hadn't come in, I don't know to be honest, I really don't know (whether I would have played again). But everything is open again. I would love to stay, but we shall see what happens. I would love the fans to see the best of me, but I don't know what the club are thinking. I wouldn't say I owe the fans, that's a big word, but I would love to play here in good times. I experienced that a little bit under Kevin Keegan when we started to play some really good football. 　　"I love the feeling going into a game knowing you are going to do some damage as a team, having that confidence. The thing is, this season has just been chopping and changing from the start with what's gone on." 　　However, with two games left to play, Newcastle's Premier League future is in their hands for the first time in weeks and a win against Fulham on Saturday could guarantee survival. 　　With just one win in 19 games before the Middlesbrough victory, Viduka is suddenly confident the floundering Magpies are ready to fly again under Shearer. 　　He said: "We have been under a lot of pressure lately and it was a very important game for us, a massive game for us. It's a derby obviously and they are always difficult games. We needed a big performance and I think as a team, we worked very, very hard, especially when we went (a goal) down. 　　"These fans here are crazy about their club. It's the most important thing, you know and I think it showed. They got behind us and I think they really helped us. 　　"They were a big difference. I remember playing here for Leeds and Boro and when this crowd gets behind the team, it is very difficult to play against. We want more of the same against Fulham." 维杜熊同意新堡迷的死忠和热情是最重要的。 他回忆效力荔枝和米堡时，每次来到SJP比赛的场面 观众的强力支持场面实在与前两者有很大的不同 但他希望全火腿时有更多球迷更大的支持。 -- 等大牌下场也打破进球荒，保级就安啦！ --
