西班牙球星托雷斯结缘足球受《足球小将》影响

近来状态有所复苏的切尔西前锋托雷斯，看起来心情不错。现在他正跟随俱乐部在日本备战世俱杯的比赛。

虽然加盟切尔西后，托雷斯的状态让人大为失望。但不能否认的是，曾经的托雷斯是西班牙国家队和俱乐部的一把剪刀。连夺欧洲杯、世界杯和欧洲冠军杯，都是托雷斯身上实实在在的荣誉。

英国《每日邮报》透露了一个有趣的细节，托雷斯与足球结缘离不开日本动漫《足球小将》的影响。

据托雷斯描述：“当我还是个小孩的时候，电视信号不太好，但是每个学校的孩子都在讨论一部日本的足球动漫。这个系列的动画在西班牙叫《大空翼和若林源三》，在日本他们被叫做《天使之翼》，两个年轻人从青年队踢起，进入国家队夺得世界杯，然后分别去了巴萨和拜仁，这像做梦一般。”

（I remember when I was a kid, we couldn't find the signal really well on TV, but everyone in school was talking about this cartoon about football, from Japan.

'It was a series called Oliver y Benji in Spain, and in Japan it was Captain Tsubasa, and these two young players started as youth team players, got into the national team, won the World Cup, and moved to Barcelona and Bayern Munich, then moved to Europe, so it was like a dream.)

“我因此而开始踢球，我的兄弟很关注我，我喜欢这个卡通。我想像大空翼那样，因为他是外场球员，若林源三是个门将。这是我和日本的第一次接触。”

('I started playing football because of this, and because my brother forced me, and I loved the cartoon. I wanted to be Oliver, because he played out on the field and Benji was the goalkeeper. That was the first contact I had with Japan.' )

其实，不仅是托雷斯，《足球小将》还曾激励了包括托蒂、皮耶罗、阿圭罗等一票球星走上绿茵场。阿奎罗是《足球小将》主角大空翼的崇拜者，他的外号Kun就是大空翼的英文名。

正如一位网友留言：“这是我青少年时最好的足球动漫。”（The best football animation when i was a teenager.）相信很多中国80后的童年，也留下了《足球小将》的美好回忆。
