新聞來源 - Sky Sports King rubbishes quit talk Tottenham captain Ledley King has rubbished suggestions he may have to retire because of his knee injury. King has been dogged by injury over the last two years but it is his recent knee problems that have been cause for real concern. The England international has played just three league games this season, but he was able to make it back for the Carling Cup final when he led Spurs to their first piece of silverware since 1999. King will not play again this season as Spurs, who have little to play for, want him to regain full fitness. Rumours have been circulating in recent months that King will never get back to being 100 per cent and could quit, but he has rubbished these claims. "I've read a lot of stories about my situation over the last few weeks but I honestly believe that when I do finally get it all right there won't be any more problems in the future," King told Sport magazine. "It's just talk. I've heard it but I have no idea where it came from. It's never nice to read stuff like that about yourself but I don't feel like I have to prove anything to anyone, all I want to do is play football. "I'm not retiring, let's put it that way." King explained how his knee injury became such an issue but added that he was confident about next season. "I was playing on an injured knee for a few seasons, but at the time it didn't really seem like a major problem," he said. "Gradually I just made it worse and when I eventually did have the operation it was maybe a little bit more complex than it should have been. "I always want to play if I feel I can and at the time the injury was there but I could play through it. I made the decision to keep playing until I really had to have the operation. "I'm not sure exactly when I'll be back playing twice a week again. Now my main aim is to prepare myself for next season and do everything possible to ensure that I don't have any problems next year. "As a player when you've been out for six months what you really need are matches in order to get back to full fitness and consistency, so it's been difficult playing one game and then missing out in the next three. "I'm still searching for that fitness because I'm not playing week in week out but we had important games that I really wanted to play in and I felt that if I could get myself right for certain games it would help the team." Despite his struggle for fitness, King was included in Fabio Capello's first England squad - which he admits was very pleasing. "It was a huge boost. It was actually a little bit catch 22 because, although I was back playing, I still didn't feel that I was right with my knee and I wasn't sure how much I'd be able to train," he added. "But it was great to know I was in his thoughts after only a couple of games. I'm desperate to play for England but at the moment I'm still searching for the consistency of playing games every week. I want to make sure I'm 100 per cent before I start to really think about England again." ============================================================================== 隊長駁斥他要退休的傳言 King說: " 過去幾週我看到了很多關於我的新聞 但我堅信我會恢復到最佳狀態 " " 聽到這些真的讓人很無奈 對這些廢話沒人會有好感覺 但是我不喜歡證明給誰誰誰看 我只想踢足球 " " 我不會退休 別鳥他 " King對在下一個賽季前恢復有信心 " 過去幾季我一直帶著受傷的膝蓋上陣 我一直不覺得這是一個問題 " " 漸漸的我讓它的情況更糟糕 我只要動個手術就好 我讓情況變的很複雜 " " 只要我覺得我行我都會想比賽 即使帶傷 我決定在真的要動手術之前都要踢 " " 我不確定我什麼時候可以恢復到兩週一場球的程度 現在我的功課是準備下季 要做好準備讓下季沒有任何問題 " " 身為球員你離開球場六個月 你真的需要一些比賽來找感覺 踢一休三會很困難 " " 我仍然在追尋健康 因為我不能每週踢 但是我真的很想踢重要的比賽 我想幫助球隊 " 談到第一次進入卡佩羅的國家隊King認為這是一個很大的鼓舞 -- 其實King才27歲 XD 這是他這些年受傷的心路歷程 -- Ｔo Dare is to do! --
