I felt like I was 10 again, says skipper Smith http://tinyurl.com/ljumgh（Shields Gazette） IT might have been Alan Smith's first game outside the top-flight, but Newcastle United's captain said he hadn't enjoyed a match as much in years. 也许这场比赛是 Smith 第一场在顶级联赛以外出阵的职业球赛， 但纽卡的新队长表示，他有好久好久没有这样地享受一场比赛了。 Smith, pictured, led by example against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns, putting in a series of crunching tackles as Chris Hughton's side came from behind to claim a creditable point thanks to a goal from Damien Duff and Tim Krul's performance between the posts. 在这场对上知更鸟的比赛里，他用一连串的狠铲来帮助球队拿到一颗宝贵的积分。 And Smith – who has spent his entire career in the Premier League – loved every minute. 而且他感到十分的舒畅与愉悦。 "I haven't enjoyed a game like that for some time – I felt like I was 10 again," Smith told the Gazette. "感觉真爽！我好像回到了10岁呀大佬～" "People watching on TV must have saw that we all enjoyed that game. "你们都开电视了嘛，你们也看得出来对不对？" "It was played in the right spirit, and there were tackles going in everywhere. "我们用热情融化了球场，而且到处乱铲！哈哈！" "There were 50-50 challenges all over the place, and a couple of goals. The referee did very well, and it was a good game all round. "这是一场势均力敌的比赛，两队合力进了两球，裁判没乱吹，一切都很完美。" "We could have won it. We've lost bodies, and when that happens you lose a bit of continuity. Everybody understands that." "我们其实可以赢下来的，要不是因为有夥伴受伤.." "而且当事情发生後球队的表现就失去了一些连贯性，你知道的。" The pre-match talk was dominated by Joey Barton's absence from the starting XI amid suggestions that he was involved in a disagreement in training on the eve of the game. 赛後记者会的锋头都被坏小孩抢走了，因为他赛前似乎和两位南美洲队友发生争执。 However, Smith insists every one of the club's players is committed to the cause. 队长 Smith 则强调队上的每个人都很团结。 He went on: "I'm not going to lie and say that it was easy. We've lost some good players last week, and while we wish them all the best, the main thing is that the lads who are still here want to be here. I think they proved that." 他说： "我不想逃避或对这些问题说谎，我们的确在上星期失去了一些好队友。 我们祝他们将来一切顺利。重点是，留下来的球员们就是想留下来的人。 我认为他们会证明这一点的。" -- 撇开球技不谈，其实他还蛮适合当队长的... -- Information is not knowledge / Knowledge is not wisdom Wisdom is not truth / Truth is not beauty Beauty is not love / Love is not music Music is the best. -- FRANK ZAPPA --
