元サウサンプトンDFヤン・ベドナレクは金曜日の夜、ナイフを持った強盗に遭遇するという恐ろしい試練に見舞われた。ベドナレクはその数日前にポルトのリーグ優勝に貢献していたが、彼の歓喜の祝賀会は自宅に侵入されたことで衝撃的に中断された。先週末、ポルトがアルヴェルカを1-0で破り、4年ぶりのタイトルを獲得した際、30歳の選手は決勝ゴールを決めた。彼は一週間ずっとその勝利の高揚感に浮かれていたが、祝賀会は無残にも打ち切られた。ポルトガルの新聞レコードによると、ベドナレクさんと家族は金曜夜午後９時半ごろ帰宅し、敷地内に侵入者を発見したという。伝えられるところによると、襲撃者はベドナレクさんをナイフで脅した後、約12万9,000ポンド相当の物品を持ち去ったという。ポーランド代表選手とその妻には幼い娘がおり、その前に美術展で夜を過ごしていた。それ以来、ソーシャルメディアの投稿には、善意を願う人やファンからの応援メッセージが殺到しています。ベドナレクは7月にポルトに加入し、クラブのプレミアリーグ降格を受けてサウサンプトンでの8年間の任期に幕を閉じた。セインツで254試合に出場しており、新チームにとって素晴らしい獲得であることが証明された。このセンターバックは今シーズン、ポルトで48試合に出場し4ゴールを決め、代表チームメイトのヤクブ・キヴィオールと守備的なパートナーシップを築いている。キヴィオルは昨夏にアーセナルを退団し、最終ラインの中心選手として活躍し、32試合でわずか15失点に抑えているが、国内では1敗を喫している。ポルトは、37歳のイタリア人監督フランチェスコ・ファリオーリ氏と、クラブ会長を務める元チェルシー監督のアンドレ・ビラス・ボアス氏によってタイトル獲得に導かれてきた。先週末のアルヴェルカ戦で1-0で勝利した後、ファリオーリ監督は「とても感慨深い。みんなにとてもうれしい」と宣言した。「このグループのために、ここで働く人々のために、ホルヘ・コスタのために、大統領のために、ここにいる人々のために…誰もが長い間無かったこのような称号を得るに値した。」米国、メキシコ、カナダで開催される48チーム参加のトーナメントへの出場権をポーランドが獲得できなかったため、ベドナレクにとって今夏のワールドカップは楽しみではない。ポーランドは予選プレーオフでスウェーデンに3-2で競り負けたが、ヴィクトル・ギョケレスが土壇場で劇的な決勝ゴールを決め、ポーランドの希望に終止符を打った。 Source link
