From the author of the bestselling TORRES......
Luca Caioli
打字员写在前面的话:
这是托雷斯自传的作者写的,大部分内容是采访梅子的家人,朋友,教练等相关人物,因为梅子并不是很健谈的人,同样不喜欢讲述过多关于自己的事...于是作者采访了一系列人物,算是拼凑出了一个迄今为止还算完整的梅子吧.......
书中有些内容是以前采访的,也添加了一些新的内容....我买的是全英文版,鉴于本人英文水平不咋地,就不翻译误人子弟了...
由于没有扫描设备,而且LZ是个懒人,所以会慢慢把内容手敲上来...望各位看官勤劳督促LZ,大恩不言谢.....

“I buy the rump or a piece from the hindquarter. They're cuts of beef I've also seen in Barcelona but I don't know what they're called. I put a bit of salt on each piece,dip them in egg and coat them in breadcrumbs. I fry them until they're nice and golden-brown and I put them in an oven dish. I slice the onion finely and fry it over. When the onion turns white,I add chopped tomatoes,a little water,salt,oregano and a pinch of sugar. And I leave it on the heat for around twenty minutes. Once the sauce is done,I pour it on top of each piece of beef,making sure they're well covered. I take some cream cheese hard cheese out of the fridge and lay it on top of the beef in thin slices. I leave them in the oven until the cheese melts. All that's left to do is fry the potatoes as a side dish and the milanesa a la napolitana [schnitzel napolitana] is ready to serve.”
With the passion and experience of a good cook,Celia describes her son Lionel Messi's favourite dish.
‘When I go to Barcelona I have to make it two or three times a week. And with at least three medium-sized cuts of beef. I tousle his hear and tell him:“My schnitzel napolitana and my mate [traditional Argentina tea] are what make you score so many goals.“ It's true:when he scored three against Real Madrid,I was there making his favourite dish and preparing the tea for the evening.’Lionel has simple gastronomic taste:schnitzel,but not made with ham or horsemeat;chicken with a sauce made of pepper,onions,tomatoes and oregano. He doesn't care much for elaborate dishes,like the ones his brother Rodrigo makes,but then,as it well known,Rodrigo is a chef and his dream is to open his own restaurant sooner or later. It is natural for him to experiment and try new recipes,although his younger brother doesn't always appreciate them. Does he have a sweet tooth?'Yes, Leo loves chocolate and alfajores [traditional caramel-filled biscuits — a national delicacy];when we go to Spain we have to take boxes and boxes so that he always has a good supply.' She tells the story about how,when he was little,when a coach promised him an alfajor for every goal he scored,he netted eight in a single match. Some feast.
