【SOCCERBIBLE】 Q&A AARON RAMSEY

只看楼主收藏回复

You've seen the boots, you know the players, now New Balance are offering you the chance to be part of the #NBBlackoutSquad. We recently caught up with New Balance's main man Aaron Ramsey to talk about joining the brand, those unreleased boots, getting in front of the camera, tattoo's and...David Beckham.
Aaron, we're here with New Balance on a cold film set in Manchester - what's going on?
AR: I’m here today to film the first major commercial from New Balance Football that will be coming out very soon. It’s been really exciting and a new kind of experience for me and I'm happy to be a part of it and can't wait to see the what it looks like.
So obvious question, but why New Balance? You must have had a lot of interest from other brands before leaving adidas?
AR: Yes I did and there were other options, but I decided to join New Balance because I like the direction they're taking. It’s a very family orientated company, all of the people in the team are very helpful and I’ve had a lot of support from them. I feel like I can progress in my career wearing New Balance football boots.
The #NBBlackoutSquad is an exciting new campaign from New Balance, can you tell us a bit about it?
AR: It’s a competition for young players to have the chance to get the same sort of treatment that I get as a New Balance player and win gear for a year. It’s a great competition that hasn’t been done before so it’s exciting to be a part of it.
Did you know anything about New Balance's history in football before signing with the brand?
AR: Not really to be honest! All I knew was that they made football boots a long time ago, but it’s obviously been a long time since they’ve been involved in the game. I know Bryan Robson used to wear New Balance football boots but he’s the only name that I know of. He's wasn't a bad player to have wearing your boots though!
It feels like you’ve been wearing the boots for a long time now, what were your first impressions of the boots?
AR: Yes, I think I started with the boots back in October. Firstly I was given a prototype boot to test out for a week or two which we then made a few adjustments to based on how I wanted the boot to perform. It was really important for me to have my own input into the boot which they were very keen on as well so I was delighted with that. We’ve progressed the boot to the modifications that I wanted, so that’s been really helpful to get the boot as comfortable as we can.
So what changes have you made to the boots?
AR: We’ve changed little bits and bobs, for example I wanted longer studs and there was a small issue with the heel that needed addressing. To be fair, the New Balance team have been brilliant with me so far, so I’m very grateful that they’ve been able to change the boot to how I want it.
Every New Balance player we’ve spoken to so far has spoken about the comfort, is that always the most important aspect of a boot for you?
AR: Comfort is always a massive part. I’m running around for 90 minutes a match and as a central midfielder I tend to clock up more miles than most in a game, so it’s important for me to be able to run without having any pains or aches in my feet. That’s why comfort is always so important and the way the boot is designed and feels for me is very nice. I’ve enjoyed playing in them so far and I feel good in them as well.
New boots always get a lot of attention in training, what was the reaction like with your Arsenal team mates?
AR: All of the players were really interested in seeing what they were like and they did their laps around the changing room for sure! People were very curious to see this new boot and I think they were impressed with them as well.
Will you be going on a recruitment drive around the changing room?!
AR: Maybe! I don’t think that’s in my job description though luckily! We’ll see, but New Balance have some fantastic players in their boots already so it’s exciting times.
Today isn’t your first time in front of the camera, you recently did a shoot for Men's Health. Is sports fashion something that interests you?
AR: Sure, that was a case of wanting to do something off the field and you know, sort of take my mind off football at times and when that opportunity came along I said why not. It was something completely different and new to me and I really enjoyed it. It was a bit awkward at times but I enjoyed it and have done a couple more shoots since then!
The modelling side of things has obviously created some comparisons to David Beckham who’s been spending a lot of time at Arsenal recently. What’s he been like when you've seen him around the training ground?
AR: Yeah, he’s been about the training ground a few times over the last year or so. He’s a great guy and when I was injured he sent me a shirt with a message on, so that just shows you the kind of person he is. He always makes time for you and has a chat with you if he’s about the training ground.
So aside from running through water and screaming down cameras (you’ll see what we mean when the commercial comes out) what else do you like to do in your spare time?
AR: I like to play golf, that’s probably one of the biggest things I do away from the game. I’m playing off 12 at the moment so hopefully I’ll get that a bit lower and be playing off single figures soon. There’s not too much else to be honest apart from simple things like going out for dinner with my wife. We’ve got a puppy now as well so I’ll be walking him around the park most evenings!
You’ve got an impressive tattoo on your left leg which we don’t usually see on match day. Can you tell us about that?
AR: I always wanted a tattoo before I had it done and I was in the process of designing it and I have things on there which mean something to me. It was a pretty painful experience but one that I’m very happy with. Maybe I’ll get some more in the near future.
What about music, what bands are you in to at the moment?
AR: There aren't any new bands in particular that I’m in to, just the same old indie bands! I try and get to as many gigs as I can, I think the last gig I went to was the Arctic Monkeys last year and I’m going to try and get to Glastonbury this year as well.
Finally, we’ve got to end on a football note. What’s the best thing about being an Arsenal player?
AR: The best thing is that we always enjoy ourselves and whenever we go out onto the pitch we always get to express ourselves. That’s a massive thing for me and my team mates and we always try to win in style!

                      离New Balance全新足球鞋正式发布的日子越来越近了,我们最近跟头号代言人拉姆塞来了一次深入的专访,其中就谈到了为何加盟New Balance、新鞋究竟如何、他的纹身......甚至贝克汉姆。
                        你今天来到这里是为New Balance担任什么角色?
                        我今天要为New Balance拍摄一则广告片,我非常兴奋,很想看到最后的成片是怎样的。
                        你为何选择了New Balance?你跟阿迪达斯的代言合同到期后,肯定有很多其他品牌对你有兴趣。
                      是的,的确有不少品牌想签我,但我最终选择了New Balance。因为我很欣赏这个品牌的发展方向,而且他们是一个大家庭,每个人都在做着积极的事情,我能得到很大的帮助。我相信New Balance足球鞋能提升我在比赛中的表现。
                        “NBBlackoutSquad”是一个相当有趣的球鞋测试活动,你能为我们简介一下吗?
                        这个活动能让普通球员也能参与到新鞋的测试中来,这是一件非常让人兴奋的事情。
                        在签约New Balance之前,你对这个品牌的足球历史有了解吗?
                        说实话,我了解不多。但我知道New Balance在很久以前就已经进入了足球装备领域,但后来离开了一段时间。我知道布莱恩·罗布森曾是New Balance足球鞋的穿着者。
                        你测试New Balance的新鞋已经有一段时间了,说说你对新鞋的第一印象吧。
                        我在去年10月份就拿到了测试鞋,在我穿了大概一到两周之后,我提出了修改意见,New Balance的团队迅速根据我的意见而作出了修改,现在的版本已经很合我脚了。
                      你对新鞋作出了哪些调整?
                        我们的确做了不少改动,例如我想要长一些的鞋钉以及后跟的包裹问题。New Balance的团队反应非常快,我很感激他们的工作成果。
                        我们采访的每一位New Balance球员都说到了“舒适”,“舒适”对于你们来说是否最重要的?
                        是的,因为我是中场球员,我需要不断地奔跑传接,一双无任何不适的球鞋对我而言很重要。舒适是New Balance新鞋的首要设计点,很高兴到现在为止我穿着新鞋的感觉都相当不错。
                        你的阿森纳队友会关注你的测试鞋吗?
                        他们全都很感兴趣,在更衣室里拿着鞋子看了又看。New Balance足球鞋的确能给人留下深刻的印象。
                        你会叫他们加入New Balance的阵营吗?
                        也许吧,但实际上这并非我的工作。我相信接下来会有越来越多的梦幻球星加入。
                        最近你在拍摄一则关于男性健康的广告,你也对运动时尚感兴趣吗?
                        是的,在场下我也喜欢尝试参与一些与运动时尚相关的事情,我喜欢新的挑战。一开始我拍摄男性健康广告的时候确实有些尴尬,但慢慢就放开了。
                        贝克汉姆最经经常出现在阿森纳训练场的边上,你会时不时碰见他吗?
                        对,我跟他在训练场碰过几次面,每次都会聊上一会。贝克汉姆是一个非常友善的人,在我受伤的时候,他曾为我送上一件写着祝福话语的球衣。
                        你在业余时间里都喜欢做些什么?
                        打高尔夫是我最大的业余爱好。说实话,我的生活挺简单的,除了打高尔夫就是陪着妻子和我家的小狗。
                        我们注意到你的左脚有个特别的纹身,能告诉我们其中的意思吗?
                        这纹身对我而言的确有着特别的意思,这是我亲自设计的,或许将来还会增加一些。
                        说说你喜爱的乐队吧。
                        目前我没有特别喜爱的新乐队,还是比较喜欢听那些老独立乐队的歌曲。去年我看了北极猴子的演出,今年打算去格拉斯顿伯里音乐节。
                        最后一个问题:作为一名阿森纳球员,最好的特质是什么?
                        我们团结、欢乐,有很强一股凝聚力去争取胜利。
