[B]马丁斯,因为受伤而不能比赛对你的打击有多大?[/B]
「那的确是很困难。我实在经常都希望参与比赛。那也是我之前所说的信念的其中一部份。但如果你要不能上场,那也不是什么大不了。那是因为教练在理解了各个球员状态后的决定。不过伤患是十分可怕的。昨天的处境很好,,你首发上阵,而且发挥得很好。也许你有几个错误,就像昨天一样,也许你浪费了几个机会。但我要说的是我对昨天的比赛感到非常满意。」
[B]你有没有想念过非洲?[/B]
「不只几次,很多次了。其实是,每一天。就像昨天,我离开了球场之后就回家。你知道有谁在家吗?一个人都没有。我挂念母亲和兄弟姊妹。我每天都会致电他们,听听他们的声音。居于远方是不容易的。不感惭愧的说,我有时候会哭。那时候我会找母亲,她会说:『别担心,你两,三个月之后回家就会再见到我们了。』这安慰了我。我有个很好的家庭。当我受伤的时候他们每天都会致电给我,那时就是我对妈妈就别担心的时候。她不开心,所以我对她说:『没事的,他们都很照顾我。』这是这样,她现在很开心。」
[B]上月是你的19岁生日。你觉得自己是男孩还是男人?[/B]
「说老实的,谁知道?那是一个疑问。你会问自己是什么的时候。我有很多朋友,当我们见面或者他们到我家的时候,他们会问我的感觉如何。我是国米的马丁斯,但他们就我的行情不对一个甲组联赛球员。我没有『高』质素的生活。我不认为我们要强迫自己接受一个高质素的生活。」[align=right]翻译:inter1908.net[/align]
[B]MARTINS SPECIAL (2): FOR MY FATHER[/B] Friday, 26 March 2004 17:59:24
[B]Martins, how difficult is it for you to be out through injury?[/B]
It really is very difficult. I obviously want to play all the time. This is also part of that belief in the squad I was talking about before. But if you finish on the bench, for example, it's not a disaster. It's the boss' technical decision. He might have seen you in form or perhaps not, it's different. But an injury is terrible. The ideal situation is yesterday's match. You come on from the start, you're in form and you do well. Perhaps I made a few mistakes, also yesterday. Perhaps I wasted a few moves. But I have to say that I'm very pleased about yesterday.
[B]Do you ever miss Africa?[/B]
Not just a few times, loads of times. Actually, every day. Yesterday, for example, I left the stadium and went home. And do you know who was there? No one, I was alone. I miss my mother, my brothers and sisters. I call them every day just to hear their voices. It's not easy living far apart. Sometimes, and I'm not ashamed of saying it, I cry. Then maybe I'll call my mother and she'll tell me 'don't worry, you'll see that in two or three months you'll come home and see us all again'. This calms me. I have a nice family. When I was injured they called me every day and then it was me to tell my mother not to worry. She was sad, so I told her 'everything will be alright, they're taking care of me'. And so it was. And she's also happy now.
[B]You turned nineteen last October. Do you feel more a boy or a man?[/B]
If I have to be honest, who knows? It's a doubt I have. Sometimes you ask yourself who you really are. I have a lot of friends, and sometimes when we meet or they come to my house, they ask me how I feel. I'm Martins of Inter, but they say I never behave like they expect a Serie A player would. I don't have 'high' standard of living. I don't think we should force ourselves to fly high.
