 看到梅西萧瑟的背影，黯然神伤。清·百一居士《壶天录》：“女更黯然神伤，泫然流涕。”在子夜过后的凌晨，对于喜欢梅西的球迷来说，无疑也是这样的心情。 尽力了就好，这只是一场比赛而已。人生本就充满跌宕起伏。 Life is full of ups and downs. 所有这些都使得梅西在俄罗斯的无精打采显示器更加扑朔迷离。但是从他对冰岛的罚球流淌出来的那一刻起，梅西似乎都撤回了 - 他在场上，他在中场线寻找的地方，还有他自己。 All of which makes Messi’s listless displays in Russia all the more bewildering. But from the moment he flubbed that penalty against Iceland, Messi seemed to withdraw — both on the field, where he went hunting for by the halfway line, but also into himself. 曾记得，1990年世界杯的时候，球王马拉多拉在点球失利之后，掩面泪流，谁说男儿有泪不轻弹，只是未到伤心处。 阿根廷小组赛之后就要被淘汰出局，对于阿根廷来说，对于梅西来说，无疑是令人痛苦的场面。要知道，这也极有可能是梅西最后一届世界杯了。荣誉等身的梅西获得了太多的奖杯和个人荣誉，唯独欠缺的就是一座世界杯了。但好像大力神杯就是不愿意眷顾梅球王。 上一届世界杯梅西率领阿根廷队杀入决赛，但最终铩羽德国战车。这一届比赛简直惨不忍睹，小组赛第二轮就0:3被克罗地亚人砍瓜切菜般地拿下了。 当比赛结束时，克罗地亚选手以相等的疲惫和兴奋的声音落到了地板上，梅西停了几秒钟，他的脸上一片空白。他转过身来，顺着隧道往下走，看不见好。 When it was over, as the Croatian playersfell to the floor in equal parts exhaustion and elation, Messi paused for a fewseconds, a blank stare on his face. The he turned and stalked away down the tunnel, and out of sight for good. 随着比赛的进行，克罗地亚队加强了控制力，梅西开始接受一个生气的小孩的出现。他越远离目标，越深入，越深入，就好像他不再相信队友做他们的工作。 And as the game wore on, and Croatia took more control, Messi began to take on the appearance of a sulky toddler. He drifted further away from goal, taking the ball in deeper and deeper positions, as though he no longer trusted his teammates to do their jobs. 如果说，昔日老马还有风之子的鼎力相助。那么如今的梅球王是孤立无援。一己之力难以撼天，悲情梅西！ 整体战术单一，用人存疑，布阵不当，门将简直就是一个罪人。从两场比赛来看，阿根廷队在外围赛中的成绩不佳也就可以理解了。 这样的阿根廷队无疑是历史上最差的一支，没有之一。可叹梅西，生不逢时！ 在一场他们正在努力标榜的比赛中，阿根廷在这一点上至少与克罗地亚保持同等水平。他们需要一点灵感，并让球员有能力提供，但这种错误就像地震一样，将阿根廷发挥到极致，并将克罗地亚引入生活。 In a game that they were struggling to make a mark on, Argentina were at least level with Croatia at that point. They needed just one moment of inspiration and had the players capable of providing it but that mistake was like an earthquake, shaking Argentina to their very core and sparking the Croats into life. 梅西点球不进，或许已经注定了这届世界杯不再是梅球王的天下。江郎未必才尽，但猪一样的队友葬送了一片大好光阴。梅西没有马拉多纳一样的幸运。后者拥有上帝之手，还有风之子的鼎力支持。但梅球王仅靠一己之力，无力回天。 我们能看到梅西依然在努力着，他甚至在90分钟后、0-3落后时还在努力突破，但队友却在补时阶段站着防守导致了第三粒丢球。 最后，梅西在国歌期间皱起眉头和揉揉额头的形象可能被证明是阿根廷伟大的世界杯崩溃的决定性表现。 Inthe end, that image of Lionel Messi furrowing his brow and rubbing his forehead intently during the national anthem may prove to be the defining one of Argentina’s great World Cup collapse. 尽力了就好，因为世界杯本来就不相信眼泪。 |
