英墨战前伟哥传言四起,高原堡垒阿兹台克静候三狮
英格兰主帅图赫尔否认队员为适应高原服用伟哥,但墨西哥球迷骚扰和2140米海拔仍构成严峻考验。
世界杯十六强战英墨对决前,一则关于英格兰队可能服用“伟哥”应对高原的传闻闹得沸沸扬扬。赛前发布会上,主帅图赫尔被问及此事时笑着摇头:“消息不实,我们没有这个计划。”中场亨德森更打趣道:“伟哥确实有帮助”,引发全场大笑。英国小报此前称,队医鉴于阿兹台克球场2240米海拔,考虑使用血管扩张剂西地那非,因其能改善肺部供氧且非违禁药物。
科学依据却未给这一设想撑腰。世界反兴奋剂机构研究显示,西地那非仅在海拔4000米以上才有提升运动表现的微弱可能,而墨西哥城的高度远未达标。这一流言并非首创:2010年南非世界杯,英格兰也曾被传为适应约翰内斯堡高海拔备有类似计划,后遭英足总否认。此次再现,折射的是外界对三狮军团高原作战能力的普遍担忧。
现实挑战比传言更磨人。图赫尔承认,抵达后自己头痛失眠,队员训练初段亦感吃力。更棘手的是,墨西哥球迷在酒店外彻夜刺耳鸣笛、燃放爆竹,试图剥夺客队睡眠,警方被迫封街。东道主则享有魔鬼主场加持:阿兹台克球场近89战仅失2场,上次沦陷已是2013年,本届小组赛全胜且零封对手。
无论伟哥传言如何荒诞,当开场哨响起,英格兰必须直面海拔、噪音与一支主场不败之师的堵截。八强席位悬念,唯有足球可以揭晓。
