温格换了5万次人??


我以前一直觉得国内很多新闻媒体都是标题和内容不符,而且很多时候不加思考胡乱转载。最近看到的一则新闻,让我尤为气愤。真的想大骂,你们转新闻时是不是不经过大脑的?!

事情缘于:上周阿森纳坐阵酋长球场迎战曼联,最终以1-2败北。赛后,教授温格的一次换人引起的媒体的普遍质疑,甚者连当时场上球员都有不解。那是比赛下半场,张伯伦刚刚助攻范佩西攻入扳平的一球,温格做出了一次让人大跌眼镜的换人:用近期表现低迷的阿沙文换下场上表现出色的张伯伦。此时,队长范佩西的表情是:



赛后,天空体育采访温格时,他也承认自己犯了一个战术失误(虽然在记者的追问下,他也不肯明说是什么失误)。采访视频可以才天空体育的官方网站看到:这里


在这个新闻里,引用了一句话来表示温格坚持自己换人是正确的:"I've been a manager for 30 years and have made 50,000 substitutions. I do not have to justify every decision I make to you (the Press). I stand up for it." 翻译成中文就是:我当了30年的教练,换了5万次人。我不需要向你们(媒体)解释我为什么换人。我相信我的决定。

于是,这句话成了事后被引用得最多的,媒体(特别是国内)用来炒作温格自我辩解的噱头。国内相关新闻:
6万阿森纳死忠狂嘘温格 教授:嘘我?我换过5万次人!espnstar搜狐, goal.com
腾讯就更搞笑了,直接改成是范佩西说了:范佩西亲撰文否认与温格矛盾

或许普通人看了不觉得什么,我在这里就是想说明一下,50000次换人,稍有足球知识的人就知道不可能。为什么呢,我来分析下:

温格1984年开始当主教练,到现在一共大概执教了1300多场比赛(按wikipedia是到2012.01.22一共有1317场)。一场比赛可以换3个人,一个最大就是1300×3=3900. 如果多算一些,算温格有1500场比赛,那就是4500次换人(如果外加什么友谊赛,换人不受限制的,算1万也不够5万啊)。

看网易的相关新闻:温格换人遭球迷狂嘘不认错 辩解称有5000次经验],就感觉比较实际了。但是5000次,远远没有5万次有震撼力啊。

那么,来考察到底是谁出的错。每次英超比赛结束,天空体育是有对主教练的专访的,因此,天空体育应该可以算是消息发源地。专访的视频是在电视上及时(应该是有剪辑)播出的(上面天空体育网站的链接也有这个视频)。在视频中,我没有听到温格具体提到关于换人次数的解释,他只是说想换人做些改变。不过天空体育网站在相关新闻里面是引用了这么一段的:
"I've been a manager for 30 years and have made 50,000 substitutions. I do not have to justify every decision I make to you (the Press). I stand up for it."。
因为是放在引号里,所以可以认为是温格的原话。但是因为视频里面没有出现相关语句,可以认为有可能是温格口误(个人认为可能性地),或是说5000次,而网站编辑手误写成了50000。

不管是温格口误还是编辑手误,这都应该是一个错误。不少外媒在转载时就把50000换成了many(很多),而且一般都是用“温格辩解自己如何换人”这类标题的。因此,可以感觉到,其他媒体也觉得这个50000不合理,所以没有突出或者干脆换成很多次。反观国内,”五万次换人“成了绝好的新闻标题,特别是球场观众才6万人。估计再下次,标题该改成“6万阿森纳死忠狂嘘温格 教授:嘘我?我能换6万次人!”.

其他新闻领域我不清楚,但是足球这块,在我呆在国外这几年,通过对比国内和国外新闻,深深感受到某些新闻写稿人的知识之匮乏,网站编辑文平之底(我还常在体育新闻里看到错别字的)。我就不禁奇怪了,我们中华文化如此深厚,有见识有底蕴的知识分子是应该大有人在,为什么诸多新闻网站就充斥着如此多了垃圾新闻,标题新闻呢?别说深度评论,就是中肯准确的新闻都难得一见啊。如果没有相关知识,那读者们岂不是容易受误导,以讹传讹?

Big mistake: Wenger have made 50,000 substitutions?

Arsenal lost 1-2 at home to Man Utd. One substitution Arsene made surely seemed doubtful to everyone. But I would like to comment on one news that about Aresne's defence on his decision.

The full news can be seen as SKY Sports:

The quote is:

"I've been a manager for 30 years and have made 50,000 substitutions. I do not have to justify every decision I make to you (the Press). I stand up for it."

According to Wikipedia, up to 22 January 2012, Wenger has managed 1317 games (since 1984). The maximum substitutions he can make is 1317 * 3 = 3951.The statistic may not be accurate. But even if we assume he managed 2000 games, he can only made 6000 substitutions. There is no near 50000!

As I cannot find the interview video contains such conversation, so I don't know whether this came from Wenger or just the editor put the wrong figure.

In both case, the one with a brain should sense there is something wrong with such 50000! But ironically, such sentence has been quoted on many other website (include bbc).

2012 is not gonna to be a normal year - January So far

Although I'm not believing the film <2012>, this year seems definitely to be historical.

So far, many things happened as you would like to believe they are stories:

  • You may think "Titanic" is an old story only happened in the old days. Costa Concordia tells you that history is copyable, no matter how advance the technology is.
  • It had been like an overlord, but even like Kodak cannot stand the change of time. 
Sometimes, you may always believe something would never happen. You may be wrong in 2012!
