Mersey Hotel

Emil Hesky is as calm as Zen, whether talking about people's criticism of his filming or recalling the moment when he cried. The former Liverpool and English centre-forward introduced his new book Even if Hejsky scores (Even if Hejsky scores) at Cheshire Hotel. He smiled and said that he chose this name because "everyone says so."

Admittedly, his career goal data may seem a little inefficient for a No.9 player-the national team scored 7 goals in 62 appearances and 65,438+06 goals in 565,438+06 Premier League games-but 53 assists in the top league are also the embodiment of his real value. This figure is only twice less than that of paul scholes, who is generally defined as a master midfielder. He ranks seventh in the total number of appearances in Premier League history, spending 2 1 year in seven different clubs, which proves that Hejsky is a successful player.

"I play for many teams, which doesn't bother me," Hejsky said. From 1995 to 20 16, he played for leicester city, Liverpool, Birmingham, Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa, Newcastle Jet and Bolton. "I understand that strikers will always be eliminated. When the team scores five goals in a game and you get nothing, many strikers will be angry, but I don't care. "

He responded to those criticisms: "if I told you that a person stood out from all levels of youth teams in England before the age of 24;" 17 years old, made his career debut, and entered the three-cup finals with his hometown team (leicester city) within four years; Then he came to Liverpool, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and won the triple crown (FA Cup, Carling Cup and Europa League) in his first season. Represented England in two World Cups and European Cup; Goal in this game that may be the most unforgettable for the national team; How did you feel when you won six or seven championship trophies before you were 24? "

Hejsky said that the match was 5,438+0 in September 2006, when Britain beat Germany 5-/kloc-0-0 in Munich. Hejsky scored the last goal of the British team in the competition, and then imitated the DJ to celebrate. This unforgettable highlight moment, as he said, occupies an important position in his career.

When Hejsky was only 18, he helped Leicester City beat Crystal Palace in the play-off final of 1996 and advanced to the Premier League. After the game, he drank a whole bottle of champagne, which is "lifeless" in the words of his book.

Last season, Hejsky made his career debut under the leadership of Mark McGhee, but the new Irish coach Martin O'Neill has a more special influence on Hejsky. "All he asked was,' Come on, kid, pick up the ball and run.' Martin set me free. Steven Gerrard (Gerard Houllier's coach at Liverpool) taught me what football is. When I told people-they would all feel funny-Gé rard had a meeting for hours. The room was dark and I watched videos for hours. At that time, I often fell asleep and was too tired. "

So is Swede Eriksson, who was the head coach of England from 200/KLOC-0 to 2006. "I like him," Hejsky said. "His preparation is very detailed. I don't remember how he coached, but when you play, you know everything. "

However, steve mcclaren, Eriksson's successor, was puzzled when he re-recruited emil Hesky by phone in September 2007. This is the first time he has called Hejsky in three years. "He said,' I talked to michael owen about you.' It feels like-thank you, but what does this mean? "Hejsky said that I have been playing in the Premier League. It's not that you don't understand me Why do you want to surpass others? However, I may still want to thank Michael for bringing me back to the national team. "

When Hayes joined Liverpool in March 2000, the club paid him a record 654.38 million pounds. At that time, emil Hesky had won the Carling Cup twice in 1997 and 2000, and under the guidance of kevin keegan, he played for the first time on behalf of the Three Lions 1 draw with Hungary.

However, in the early days of Merseyside, Hejsky was troubled by homesickness. "It lasted about six months," Hejsky said. "I have children and I have a girlfriend. Sometimes I really just lie on the floor and cry. I was thinking,' What the hell am I doing?' I don't know if my decision is correct. But the funny thing is, as long as I train, I'll be fine. "

Then it gets easier and easier. I found my own barber and made new friends. Everything is normal. But yes, it was a difficult time.

Another story about tears is related to Martin O'Neill. Hejsky said, "I was a child then. After beating Southampton away from home, he gave me a good scolding. I cried, but I did miss some opportunities. "

Husky's honesty and self-awareness are amazing, which is a special ability. "I am a very understanding person. I can always understand others and keep an innate calm," he said with a smile. "Although sometimes I will lose these things and get a red card and be sent off."

Hejsky, 4 1 year-old, has worked with many world-class players, including Scholes, Beckham, Rooney, Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell and Steven Gerrard. Although he thought Campbell was his most difficult opponent, he called ashley cole the "best" player in the English Golden Generation.

There is an interesting description of this in his book. He said Cole was a "heavy smoker" and kept talking, but it still made Cristiano Ronaldo nervous. Hejsky smiled again. He said, "I don't know what it's like to smoke, but I can't imagine how much it helps you."

Hejsky also has his own feelings and thoughts about racism. His grandfather is from Antigua and his mother is from Barbados, another island in the country. In his book, he wrote that his father Tyrone and his mother Albertine came to Leicester at the age of 10 and had to face ugly racial discrimination, including seeing a sign saying "No blacks, Irish and dogs allowed".

Until now, Hejsky is still experiencing all kinds of discrimination. "The last time I was at the airport, I was going to France. I bought a cup of coffee and sat down in the rest area. A lady next to her immediately picked up her bag and left. You can only pretend that nothing happened and you can't let it affect you. "

Regarding the future, Hejsky admitted that he had no "strong desire" to become a coach, but he said, "I really want to try." With his rich experience and Zen-like heart, another excellent coach may be born in the future.
