리오퍼디난드가 박지성 칭찬했네요 ㅋㅋ

[ManU_C.RONALDO]

퍼디난드 “박지성 플레이는 판타스틱”

“지성은 우리 팀의 G－UNIT(지유넷)이다.”

맨체스터 유나이티드의 중앙수비수 리오 퍼디난드(28)가 내린 박지성에 대한 품평이다. ‘맨체스터 이브닝뉴스’는 27일 ‘리오가 밝히는 탈의실의 비밀’이라는 제목으로 맨유 선수들에 대한 X파일을 살짝 공개한 퍼디난드의 인터뷰를 실었다. 동료들을 차례로 거명하며 품평회를 연 것.

▲샤프한 지성씨=그 가운데 박지성에 대해 아낌없는 칭찬과 아울러 약간의 섭섭함을 재치있게 드러냈다. “그가 없으면 단박에 표가 난다. 있을 때는 그런가 보다 하지만 없으면 얼마나 그가 환상적인 선수인지를 깨닫게 된다. 그는 지금껏 내가 알고 있는 선수 가운데 가장 많이 뛰는 선수이며, 지칠 줄 모르는 체력을 가지고 있다.” 그러면서 퍼디난드는 “지성의 두뇌는 매우 샤프하며, 그를 영입한 것은 대단한 일이었다”고 극찬했다. |관련기사 5면

“우리는 그(박지성)를 ‘G-UNIT(힙합그룹 이름)’이라 한다. 지성은 내가 말하면 항상 웃는다. 하지만 그 이유는 단지 나의 말을 잘 이해하지 못하기 때문이지, 나와 거리감을 두기 위해 그런 것은 아니라고 생각한다.” ‘G－UNIT(지유넷)’은 미국 최고의 힙합 아티스트인 ‘50cents’가 키우고 있는 그룹. 현재 ‘지유넷’의 대표곡은 ‘스마일(Smile)’ ‘당신을 알고 싶어요(Wanna get to know you)’ 등. 음악을 좋아하는 퍼디난드는 “늘 웃는(스마일) 박지성을 알고 싶다”는 바람을 재치있게 ‘G－UNIT’으로 표현한 것이다.

▲칼링컵을 품에 안고…=그랬다. 늘 웃음을 머금은 박지성. 박지성의 미소는 칼링컵에서도 빛났다. 맨유는 27일 영국 웨일스 카디프 밀레니엄 스타디움에서 열린 칼링컵 결승전에서 웨인 루니가 2골을 터뜨리고 루이 사하, 크리스티아누 호나우두가 1골씩을 보태 위건 애슬레틱을 4-0으로 격파하고 우승했다. 맨유는 1991~1992시즌 노팅엄 포레스트를 1-0으로 물리치고 우승한 데 이어 14년 만에 칼링컵을 차지하며 2년 연속 ‘무관’ 위기에서 일단 벗어났다. 박지성은 이번 경기에서 선발 출장해 왼쪽과 오른쪽 측면에서 풀타임 활약하며 한국인으로서는 처음으로 칼링컵 메달을 목에 걸고 우승대에 올라 컵을 들어올리는 영예를 누렸다. 특히 박지성은 프리미어십 입성 첫해에 맛본 우승이라 그 의미가 더욱 각별하다. 또한 박지성은 일본(2002년 일왕배), 네덜란드(2002~2003, 2004~2005 정규리그 우승·2004~2005 KNVB컵·2003~2004 위너스 슈퍼컵) 등 다른 3개국에서 우승컵을 안은 최초의 한국인이라는 진기록도 세웠다. 영국 스포츠 전문매체 ‘스카이스포츠’는 3~4차례 결정적 골찬스를 만들어내는 등 맹활약한 박지성에 대해 ‘언제나 자발적(ever willing)’이라며 평점 6점을 부여했다.

UNITED'S dressing room secrets... Rio gives a rare insight:

EDWIN VAN DER SAR: A fantastic goalkeeper with great experience. He has been around the block and won the European Cup. He has been a great acquisition for us. He is someone who takes a lot of pride in his clothes. He dresses quite smart and the lads have a go at him about his shoes.

GARY NEVILLE: A fantastic trainer and everything he does revolves around football. On the training ground you always hear his voice shouting or moaning, usually moaning! But if things need to be done he is the one up front getting things sorted for everyone.

He is a great consistent player and has been England's best right-back for the last decade at least.

He makes me laugh. He's a funny geezer but I don't think he knows it.

WES BROWN: Wes is Mr Calm. He never raises his voice and never gets flustered. He helped me settle in when I came to United and we have become great mates.

He's been very unfortunate with injuries and had it not been for them then I think he would have had a load of England caps. He's a strong person because to have so many bad injuries as he's had you have to be a big character. It would have broken lesser people.

MIKAEL SILVESTRE: A great trainer. Always stretching. He does yoga as well. He's a quality player and I just don't know how he doesn't get into the French squad these days.

He's a quite fella and you don't really hear him much around the place. Everything is prim and proper with him. His clothes always look clean and smart. His car is always polished and spotless.

PATRICE EVRA: New to the squad in January but he's a good lad. He comes and plays computer football with us. Darren Fletcher and me are the kings of PlayStation Pro-Evolution Soccer and we had to batter him and Louis Saha. He did well the first game and we let him win that because he was new. But then we showed him what we are about and put him in his place.

NEMANJA VIDIC: He is eager to learn and do well. He is strong in the tackle and a solid defender. He will be great. Was a major part of Serbia and Montenegro's World Cup qualifying defence that conceded just one goal in their ten group matches. Can easily see why when you see him play.

He's a great lad. He's happy to be here and eager to please.

JOHN O'SHEA: Long Man has been unfortunate with a few injuries. But his latest one with broken ribs is one that you can't get treatment on and so he got a trip away to Dubai instead! I wonder if he planned that?

DARREN FLETCHER: He is Mr Scruffy. What a scruff pot. He doesn't care what he wears. The first thing that comes to hand when he opens his wardrobe he'll stick it on. He could wear the best suit in the world but he'd look scruffy.

Darren is going to be a Man United player for many, many years. He will grow into being one of our main players. Roy Keane going has allowed him to express himself more.

He's a player's player. The lads appreciate him but a lot of the work and things he does go unnoticed by fans and pundits. But in the long run everyone will see what he is made of.

WAYNE ROONEY: Fantastic footballer. He is a real Man United player. Can do everything with a football. He just loves the game. He is the greediest person in the world before a training session. You can't get a ball off him.

On the sly he loves his clothes. He pretends he's not bothered but when he gets something new he hangs around the training ground so people will notice him.

The hooped jumper he wore when he signed for United was one of the worst I have ever seen but to be honest I think he made a lot of effort to get that jumper and that says a lot about him!

RUUD VAN NISTELROOY: Put the ball in the box and the ball falls to Ruud. We were laughing after his goal at Portsmouth when Ryan Giggs' shot hit the bar and rebounded because it could have only have fallen for Ruud.

He wants to score goals and he does it better than anyone else. If we won 4-0 and he didn't score then he'd be disappointed. He's not afraid to show that and that's why he's one of the best around.

He's a really nice guy and any new player who arrives he's one of the first to talk to them and get them integrated into the squad.

LOUIS SAHA: Ask any defender in the Premiership and they will tell you they don't like playing against Louis. That speaks volumes for his ability. He has been unfortunate with injuries but now they have cleared up he will go on to be a quality player for United.

JI-SUNG PARK: When he is not in the team you realise what a fantastic player he is. He runs more on a football pitch than anyone I have ever known in my life. He runs a frightening amount in matches.

His brain is very sharp and is a great signing for us this year.

We call him G-Unit after the rap band. He laughs whenever I say anything to him because I don't think he understands me at all so he tries to get away from me!

CRISTIANO RONALDO: We are lucky to have two of the best young footballers in the world in him and Wayne Rooney. His goals against Fulham and Portsmouth show what he can be. He will definitely grow into a player who will score 15 goals a season and when he does that he'll be regarded as one of the best in the world.

His physical attributes and skill are what you'd use for the perfect footballer.

When Chico was on the X-Factor we called him `Chico Time'. He loves the banter and loves his clothes. He won't wear anything without a name brand on it. I hammer him for that everyday.

RYAN GIGGS: Every footballer, not just at United, looks up to Giggsy for his ability and the way he has conducted himself.

He could have had the lifestyle and profile that David Beckham has got but he has chosen a different way. He could have been the world superstar and global icon but he wanted to concentrate on his football and his trophy cabinet speaks for itself.

I would love to be able to walk away from football having achieved the things he has.
OLE SOLSKJAER: The living legend. He's a fantastic person and the lads love him. He has been unfortunate with his knee problems over the last two years or more and we'd all love him to score again at the Stretford End. I watch the reserves these days just to see how he is doing.

Not sure about his taste of music though. He had the all time worst CD on the coach once and he has been hammered for it. I don't even know what or who it was and I love my music, that's how bad it was.

TIM HOWARD: Great ability as a goalkeeper. Unbelievable in his first year and since has been in and out. But he is going to be a great goalkeeper. Some of the saves he produces on the training pitch are unbelievable.

PHIL BARDSLEY: A great local lad. Just unfortunate he is behind Gary Neville. He has been through the ranks at United and you can see him being a regular right back at this club in the future. It is just a matter of time. He is really down to earth.

KIERAN RICHARDSON: He used to play against my brother in London when they were kids so I have known him a long time. When the manager was having a difficult time with injuries he came through and showed his worth. He's going to be a top player.

GIUSEPPE ROSSI: He does phenomenal things with a football. What a goalscorer. I watch the reserves and see him banging in the goals and I text people and say you should see what he is doing to these people. At any other club in the country he would be first choice but he has Ruud, Wayne and Louis in front of him.

GERARD PIQUE: Like Giuseppe he can't beat me at two-touch. He has a long way to go before he can come into the arena with me!

But he's a good lad and is working hard. Was a bit lightweight at first but he is filling out and putting the work in in the gym and you'll see in the future what a very good player he will become.

RIO FERDINAND: A down to earth normal lad. King of Pro-Evolution Soccer on the PlayStation with Darren Fletcher. If anyone wants to test us and think they can step up to us then let me know. Nobody in the club can get near us.

We are ranked number one and if anybody wants to try and knock us off the top then bring them on!

I have only been playing it for six months and now nobody can touch me and Fletch!

I was a bit like Cristiano Ronaldo when I was younger with my clothes but I have only been shopping once or twice properly for myself in the last year. But I do love my music.

I love being at United and there is no other place I would rather be.
