Everton manager David Moyes insists plucking Andrew Johnson from the Championship was not a gamble even though everyone else refused to pay the asking price.
에버튼 감독인 David Moyes 다른 구단들이 거절한 860 만 파운드를 내고서
앤디 존슨을 데려 온 것이 전혀 모험이 아니었다고 말했다.
Johnson has scored two goals in the opening three games of the season since Moyes persuaded the Everton board to splash out 8.6million to bring the striker to Goodison Park last May.
모예스가 구단 이사진을 갈궈서 860만 파운드에 데려온 존슨은 개막후 3경기에서
2골을 넣었다.
Johnson's move from Championship Crystal Palace has already brought him renewed recognition at England level with new coach Steve McClaren including him in the squad for the forthcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers against Andorra and Macedonia.
존슨의 프리미어 리그로의 이동은 새 잉글랜드 국대 감독 Steve McClaren 이
그를 2008 유로 예선전 리스트에 이름을 올리게 했다.
The 25-year-old was coveted by a host of Barclays Premiership clubs last season but none of them were prepared to take the chance on signing him until Everton took the plunge.
여러 프리미어 리그 클럽들이 25살의 존슨을 주시 하고 있었으나 에버튼이
낚아챌때까지 아무것도 하지 못했다.
Johnson's record of 74 league goals in 140 games for Palace was an exceptional return from a striker who had enjoyed just one previous season in the top flight.
His 22 goals in 2004/5 earned him England caps against Holland and USA but despite limited experience of the Premiership, Moyes was always confident Johnson would be a hit on Merseyside.
존슨은 04/05 시즌에 프리미어 리그에서 22골을 넣었고 덕분에 네덜란드와 미국과의
경기때 국가대표로 뽑히며 멋진 활약을 했다. 그는 프리미어 리그 경험이
부족했으나 모예스는 전혀 걱정 하지 않고 그가 Meseyside (에버튼이 있는 지방)
에서 활약을 펼칠꺼라 언제나 자신 있어 했다.
Moyes said: "I didn't think it was a gamble, not for one minute.
모예스 옵빠 : "나는 단 1분도 모험을 한다고 생각하지 않았소"
"He is worth every penny that's for sure. He's a nice, quiet lad and likes his work.
"그는 1센트까지 자기 몸값을 하고 있어.그는 그의 능력 만큼이나 멋진 녀석이지"
"He doesn't just want to score the goals he wants to roll his sleeves up and muck-in
with the lads.
"그는 직접 골을 넣는 것보다는 팀 동료들을 도와주려고 하고 있지"
"He has got a hunger. He has come up through Palace and Birmingham let him go but
all I've ever said is that if he does for Everton what he's done in the last
three or four seasons, I will be more than happy.
"In the main he scores one in every two games and that is a phenomenal record. If he does that for us, it will be great.
"그가 2게임마다 한골씩 넣어주면 그건 정말 훌륭한 기록이 될거야. 그렇다면
아주 좋을텐데"
"I have never tried to change him. I just want him to do what he'd done for his other clubs and that's score goals. He's just at the moment a centre-forward who looks as if he will get a goal.
"나는 그를 바꿔보려고 하지 않았어. 나는 그저 그에게 지난 몇시즌 동안
그가 팀에 공헌했던 것들을 해주길 바랄뿐이지. 그가 골을 넣을때는 그가
CF 로 보이겠지"
"His all-round play is good and he is playing well. He can hold it up, he can run, he will take people on, so what he needs is confidence and self-belief.
"그의 all-round 플레이는 아주 좋고 그는 잘해주고 있어. 그는 잘 뛰고 선수들을
잘 쓸 수 있지 (?). 그러니까 그에게 필요한건 자기 자신을 믿는것과 자신감이지.
"If he keeps that, then he will keep playing as well as he does."
"그가 그걸 얻을 수 있다면 그는 아주 잘 해낼 수 있을거야
Ten-man Everton beat Spurs at White Hart Lane for the first time in 21 years thanks to a second-half own goal from Calum Davenport and Johnson's 66th-minute decider.
10명의 에버튼은 Calum Davenport 의 자살골과 존슨의 추가골로
토튼햄을 원정 경기에서 21년만에 무찔렀다.
The Toffees had Kevin Kilbane sent off for two bookable offences after 33 minutes but Spurs could not make the most of their numerical advantage and slumped to their second defeat in three games.
Everton remain unbeaten and Moyes is now hoping they can build on their good start after the international break when they face arch-rivals Liverpool.
"The result matched the performance against Spurs," added Moyes. "That will give us confidence. It was difficult to see who had the 10 men.
"We are talking about a Tottenham side which could be breaking into the top four and have signed quality players at big expense, so we are happy.
"If you can get a few wins under your belt then obviously you are more buoyant. I have great faith and trust in the players.
"We always planned to try to get off to a good start and I thought our opening four games this season were really tough because three of the teams had finished in the top six of the Premiership last year.
"Liverpool will be a really hard game for us. They are probably going to contest the Championship this year so we have to keep that in perspective."
Ref's Report: Mark Halsey - Exceptional performance from Halsey. The Kevin Kilbane dismissal was spot on and there was little he got wrong all afternoon.
Fussy Factor: The only complaint was the small amount of injury time allowed at the end. Halsey ordered two minutes when it took that long to deal with at least one injury during the second half.
