利物浦精神!


英超需要利物浦的「草根精神」,那種在大場面不斷製造驚喜的現象級發揮。落後了不離棄不放棄,關鍵戰能夠雄起,強強對話時,能夠踢出那種讓人窒息的節奏和氣場。早些年,貝尼特斯在歐冠率領利物浦屢創神奇的時候,靠的不是巨星扎堆的陣容,而是一種智慧和勇氣。

Meryl Streep Wins Her Third Oscar!


Meryl Streep was the victor in the much-contested Best Actress category at Sunday's Academy Awards. For her acclaimed transformation into British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, the star bested fellow frontrunner Viola Davis of The Help, plus Michelle Williams (My Week With Marilyn), Rooney Mara (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) and Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs).

It was the third win for Streep and her seventeenth nomination; the most-nominated-ever actress last won in 1983 for her leading role in Sophie's Choice.

Joked a teary-eyed Streep at the podium: "When you called my name, I had this feeling i could hear half of America going, 'Oh, come on, why her again?'...But whatever!"

She made sure to thank at the very top of her speech her husband of 34 years Don Gummer, with whom she has four kids. "I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives you've given me," Streep gushed.

She continued, "I really understand I'll never be up here again. I really want to thank all my colleagues, all my friends. I look out here and I see my life before my eyes. My old friends, my new friends. Really, this is such a great honor, but the thing that counts the most with me, is the friendships and the love and the sheer joy we have shared making movies together. My friends, thank you all of you, departed and here, for this inexplicably wonderful career. Thank you so much."
