Cordoba on Inter Channel: "Thanks, I'll repay you"
Saturday, 07 May 2011 18:50:00
APPIANO GENTILE – He's been on the sidelines since undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee on 15 April, but Ivan Ramiro Cordoba is never far from his team-mates and the Inter Channel studios, where today he wished to greet the fans and thank them all during 'A tu per tu'.
Here on inter.it you can read a complete transcription of the Nerazzurri centre-back's interview with Roberto Scarpini.
Ivan, we decided to interview you this week because we're counting on you stopping Gilardino tomorrow...
[Smiling] "I wish I could, but I don't think I'm going to make it..."
Joking aside, this was an opportunity to have a chat with you about this season as it draws to a close, and to show you how supportive the fans are towards you while you're out of action.
"I can't thank the fans enough, although I must admit that it hurts even more to feel their affection for me and not be able to do anything to repay them for it. It's so nice to know they are waiting for me to return; it's hugely motivating - perhaps more so than any therapy."
For Cordoba the summer will be something of a working-holiday...
"I'll follow a personalised programme for a month, from Monday to Friday, and rest at the weekend. When I get back to Appiano Gentile, the medical staff and I will look at how things are and then I'll hopefully start working with the team again."
So can we assume that you'll be ready for the start of next season, around mid-July, or is it too early to say that at the moment?
"It is early but that's the target: to start working my way back into the group slowly. My team-mates will start together while initially I'll be on a separate individual programme, taking it one day at a time until the end of July when I should be back with the rest of the team. Then there'll be no stopping me."
So you won't even be able to work as a TV commentator for the Copa América then...
[smiling] "No, I'll have to work really hard, but I'm sorry I won't be in Argentina."
What would you like to say to Javier Zanetti, who will make his 1000th professional appearance against Roma?
"A thousand? What can you say about that, other than to wish him another thousand? Javier is writing footballing history and I count myself lucky to have met him and to be able to work with him every day and go out on the pitch alongside him, because you learn so much from someone like him. His desire to keep going, never giving up, is a fantastic example to us all. When one of us is out it's another reason to try and return as quickly as possible, so that we can join him again."
Let's get back to the present day. Fiorentina, Roma, Napoli, Catania: what's the end of this season going to be like?
"The team are concentrating on nothing but winning the rest of our games this year. Every match is an important one: that's how they should all be considered and that's the feeling in the air here. Everyone is taking it for granted that AC Milan will win the Scudetto this week or next, but we'll do our best to make it that bit more difficult for them. Then there's the Coppa Italia of course, which has always been the hallmark of our success in recent years."
If you were to reach the Coppa Italia final, would you prefer for Inter to face AC Milan or Palermo?
"I don't like talking about our possible opposition in the final. First we have to beat Roma. Once we've done that, we will already know who our opponents will be on 29 May."
Thanks then, Ivan. Enjoy your holidays... at work.
"The holidays will be great anyway because I'll be at home, my other one, with my parents and my family, whom I don't see very often. I'm really motivated to make a good recovery. Thanks to all the fans for the messages they have been sending me. I wish everyone all the best for the end of the season and I hope it brings us some success so that we can celebrate something important together."
科尔多巴:谢谢谢谢,我会回报大家
5月7日阿皮亚诺詹蒂莱消息:在4月15日接受了左膝的关节镜手术后,伊万·拉米罗·科尔多巴一直没有上过场,但他从没有离开自己的队友和国际米兰频道工作室,今天在这里接受面对面采访时,他希望向球迷致以问候并感谢球迷们。
伊万,我们决定本周对你进行采访,因为我们盘算着你明白要阻止吉拉迪诺……
(笑)“我希望我能,但我觉得自己做不了……”
开了个玩笑,在赛季即将结束后能有机会和你聊聊这个赛季,从而告诉你球迷们在你不能出场的时候是如何支持你的。
“我无法感谢更多了,虽然我必须承认感受他们对我的感情但无法做任何回报他们的事情对我来说更加难受。知道他们正在等着我回归赛场是很美妙的,这是对我巨大的鼓舞,也许胜过任何心理学。”
对科尔多巴来说这个夏天将是一个训练的假期……
“我会在每周一到周五进行个人练习,周末休息,这样坚持一个月。当我回到阿皮亚诺詹蒂莱的时候,我和医疗组成员将会看看那时的情况,然后我会如人期待地再次参加球队训练。”
所以我们能否假设你会在下赛季开始的时候做好准备,大约是7月中旬,还是现在说这个还为时尚早?
“现在还早,不过这是我的目标:我会慢慢地按照自己的方式回到球队参加训练。我的队友们将一起开始下个赛季,而我会主动去做一些个人的练习,直到7月末的某一天,我会回到队伍当中。然后就没有什么能阻止我的了。”
所以那时你不会去当美洲杯的电视评论员……
(笑)“不,我必须相当地努力训练,但我很遗憾不能在阿根廷。”
你想对哈维尔·萨内蒂说什么,他将在对罗马的比赛中完成自己的1000次职业生涯出场记录?
“1000次?除了祝愿他的下一个1000次外,你还能说什么?哈维尔书写着足球的历史,我觉得自己能认识他、能和他成为队友每天一起在球场上训练在一起是幸运的,因为你从像他那样的人的身上会学到很多。他的愿望是一直向前,从不放弃。他是一个我们所有人的梦幻般的榜样。当我们中的某一个不在球队的时候,这是我们努力尽快回到球队的一个理由,那样我们就可以再次回到他的身边了。”
我们回到眼下吧:佛罗伦萨、罗马、那不勒斯、卡塔尼亚,赛季末期这段时间会怎么样?
“球队现在的精力只是集中在应得本赛季余下所有比赛上。每场比赛都是重要的:这就是球队所有人的想法,这里的空气中弥漫着这样的感觉。每个人都都觉得AC米兰即将在本周或者下周赢得联赛冠军,但我们将尽最大努力去为他们制造多一点的困难。然后当然是意大利杯,在最近几年里这座奖杯一直是我们荣誉室中的战利品。”
如果你们进入了意大利杯决赛,你希望国际米兰遇到的是AC米兰还是巴勒莫?
“我不想谈论我们在决赛中可能的位置。首先我们要去击败罗马,如果我们做到了,我们才会知道5月29日的对手是谁。”
谢谢你,伊万。享受你的假期吧……要训练。
“不管怎样及其都会很棒,因为我会回到家里,和我的另一半、我的父母和我的家庭在一起,这些人我无法经常见到。人们相当希望我能有一个不错的康复。感谢所有球迷给我的留言。我祝愿每个人在赛季末一切都好,我希望这些能给我们带来成功,那样我们可以一起去庆祝一些重要的东西。” |
