球場(chǎng)內(nèi)外的馬拉多納
ABOUT THE FIELDS—MARADONA
“We” could not win the World Cup, since no British team had even qualified for the finals in the USA. So the British media decided to restage the glorious Falklands War instead, with the Argentinian captain Diego Maradona cast in the role of the headlines.
Maradona was kicked out of the World Cup after failing a drugs test. He was found to have traces of the banned substance, ephedrine, in his blood stream. He might have taken it to combat a summer virus. He might have taken it to help him lose weight fast before the World Cup finals began. But one thing is for certain, he did not take it to make him lay the kind of football with which he has bewitched the world for a decade. They have not invented a drug that can make you play like Maradona. If they had, even England and Scotland could have qualified for the finals with the aid of a cornershop chemist. But the British media were not interested in any of that. To them Maradona’s expulsion from the tournament proved he was “Dirty-cheat Diego”(the idea is that you say it fast and it sounds like Dirty cheatin’ Dago), and they dragged out every has-been British footballer to kick him when he was down.
Gary Lineker said it was a case of “ good riddance “, and Terry Butcher announced that Maradona should never have been allowed to play in the World Cup in the first place ,because his previous drug conviction (for taking e, a drug which definitely does not enhance your ball skills) meant he was setting a terrible example to young fans. Unlike Mr Butcher, who set them such a fine example by head-butting Tunisians on the field while playing for England.
Of course, the bile displayed by the likes of Lineker and Butcher came purely from their sense of affronted sportsmanship, and had “nothing” to do with the fact that these players were part of the English team beaten by Maradona in the quarter final of the 1986 World Cup, He humiliated England in that game, not with the Hand of God, but with the second goal, the dazzling run past half of the team that made the Fenwicks and Butchers of the English defence look like the artless shit kickers they were. Linker won the Golden Boot in that World Cup by scoring six goals. But nobody outside his native Leicester remembers any of them. The ones Maradona scored against England and Belgium on the way to winning the tournament will live in the memory forever.
The bashing bulldogs of the British press have been waiting for revenge ever since, and they sunk their teeth into Maradona with relish。 Maradona has been playing on drugs for most of his career. He has had to pump himself full of the pain-killer cortisone, to enable him to play on with the countless injuries inflicted by the Butchers he found wherever he played—in Argentina, in Spain, in Italy and in World Cup tournaments. There was never any outcry about that because cortisone is legal. Indeed the rich men who held his contracts insisted he take the drugs, because their bank balances needed him on the pitch, regardless of the damage which cortisone can do to the body in later life.
Maradona has always cultivated his relationship with the poor and the oppressed. In Naples he made himself the champion of the backward south of Italy against the rich north (centred in football terms on AC Milan) When Argentina played the Italians in Naples in the semi-final of the 1990 World Cup, Maradona even appealed to Neapolitans to support his team because “What has Italy ever done for you?”
Maradona has incurred the wrath of no less a bigot than the Pope, because every time His Holiness makes a speech about helping the poor, Maradona demands that the Vatican should give them its own vast wealth. And he has often fallen foul of the Argentinian oligarchy. When he arrived in the USA for the World Cup, Maradona said that, first, he was glad to be in a country where they played football with their hands as well as their feet, and second that he had a message for Argentina’s president Carlos Menem: “Instead of swanning around here and boasting to everybody that we are going to win the World Cup, he should think of the poor people at home, on the streets and without jobs….”
“我們”無(wú)法贏得世界杯，因?yàn)橛?guó)隊(duì)甚至沒(méi)有資格進(jìn)入在美國(guó)的決賽。于是乎英國(guó)的媒體決定重演福克蘭戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的輝煌，隨之阿根廷隊(duì)的隊(duì)長(zhǎng)迪耶果·馬拉多納成了頭版頭條的主角。
馬拉多納在未通過(guò)藥檢后被逐出世界杯。在他的血液中發(fā)現(xiàn)有違禁物質(zhì)麻黃素的跡象。他可能服用了此物來(lái)抵抗一種夏季的病毒。也可能為了幫助他在世界杯決賽前盡快減輕體重�？捎幸稽c(diǎn)是肯定的，他不會(huì)將此藥物用在他那十年來(lái)使世人癡迷的足球上面。還沒(méi)有人能發(fā)明一種能像馬拉多納那樣踢球的藥物。如果有，英格蘭和蘇格蘭或許能靠街頭藥店的幫助而有資格進(jìn)入決賽了。但英國(guó)的媒體對(duì)此絲毫不感興趣。對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)把馬拉多納逐出錦標(biāo)賽就能證明他是個(gè)“骯臟、騙人的迪耶果”（想想你說(shuō)得快的話，聽(tīng)起來(lái)就像在說(shuō)骯臟騙人的拉丁人），并且他們拉出每一個(gè)當(dāng)過(guò)英國(guó)足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員的人，對(duì)他落井下石。
加里·萊茵科爾說(shuō)這是個(gè)“甩掉包袱”的事例，而泰里·布切爾聲稱馬拉多納根本不應(yīng)允許再參加世界杯，因?yàn)樗郧拔荆ㄒ驗(yàn)榉每Х�，這是種絕對(duì)不會(huì)提高你球技的毒品）意味著他給年輕的球迷留下了一個(gè)可怕的示范。這倒不像布切爾先生，他在代表英格蘭隊(duì)踢球時(shí)在場(chǎng)上用頭撞擊突尼斯隊(duì)隊(duì)員，從而給別人樹(shù)立了多么好的榜樣！
當(dāng)然，萊茵科爾與布切爾之流所顯露的失態(tài)，純粹是出自他們被褻瀆的球風(fēng)，與1986年世界杯四分之一決賽上被馬拉多納打敗“無(wú)關(guān)”， 當(dāng)時(shí)他們是英格蘭隊(duì)隊(duì)員。在那場(chǎng)比賽中，馬拉多納羞辱了英格蘭，不是靠上帝之恩賜，而是靠第二個(gè)進(jìn)球，靠令人眼花繚亂地繞過(guò)半數(shù)的隊(duì)員，使英格蘭的后衛(wèi)芬威克斯和布切爾看上去像毫無(wú)球藝的飯桶。那次世界杯中萊茵科爾因進(jìn)六球而贏得金靴獎(jiǎng)，可除了他的家鄉(xiāng)萊斯特外無(wú)人記得其中的任何進(jìn)球。而馬拉多納在贏得錦標(biāo)賽的過(guò)程中對(duì)英格蘭和比利時(shí)所進(jìn)的球卻將永遠(yuǎn)留在人閃的腦海中。
自打那時(shí)起，英國(guó)媒體的這些躍躍試試的猛犬們就在等待復(fù)仇的時(shí)機(jī)，時(shí)機(jī)一到他們便狠狠地向馬拉多納咬去。馬拉多納足球生涯中大半時(shí)間與毒品有染。他必須要靠止痛的可的松來(lái)使自己精力充沛，使他能頂住到處都會(huì)碰到的類似布切爾給他的那種傷害—包括在阿根廷，西班牙，意大利以及世界杯錦標(biāo)賽。從沒(méi)有人對(duì)此提出抗議，因?yàn)榭傻乃墒呛戏ǖ�。�?shí)際上與他簽約的富人們執(zhí)意要他服用這種藥，因?yàn)樗麄兊你y行收支絕對(duì)與他的良好競(jìng)技狀態(tài)息息相關(guān)，哪管可的松會(huì)對(duì)他的身體將來(lái)所產(chǎn)生什么危害。
馬拉多納一向與窮人保持著良好的關(guān)系。在那不勒斯他支持落后的意大利南部地區(qū)去對(duì)抗富裕的北部（以AC米蘭為中心的球隊(duì)）。當(dāng)阿根廷在1990年世界杯半決賽中與意大利隊(duì)在那不勒斯比賽時(shí)，馬拉多那甚至呼吁那不勒斯人去支持他所在的球隊(duì)，因?yàn)椤獯罄譃槟阕鲞^(guò)什么呢？’
馬拉多納曾經(jīng)引起教皇對(duì)他的憤怒，因?yàn)榻袒时菹旅看伟l(fā)表關(guān)于扶貧的演說(shuō)時(shí)，馬拉多納就主張羅馬教廷應(yīng)將自己巨額的財(cái)富分給窮人。同時(shí)他還時(shí)常與阿根廷的寡頭統(tǒng)治相抵觸。當(dāng)馬拉多納到美國(guó)參加世界杯時(shí)，他說(shuō)首先他很高興來(lái)到一個(gè)手腳并用來(lái)玩足球的國(guó)家，其次他有一個(gè)給阿根廷總統(tǒng)卡洛斯·梅內(nèi)姆的口信：“不要來(lái)這里到處向大家吹噓我們要贏得世界杯，他應(yīng)該想想國(guó)內(nèi)的受苦人，流落街頭的失業(yè)者 ······”
