WHAT WE LEARN FROM THE OVERLAP WITH RUUD VAN NISTELROOY

Manchester United hero Ruud van Nistelrooy is the latest guest in Gary Neville's The Overlap series, answering 25 questions in a tease of a bigger interview that will be released next week.

曼联传奇范尼斯特鲁伊是加里·内维尔The Overlap节目的最近一次嘉宾。他在这里回答了25个问题，而这只是下周发布的一篇更大采访的引子。

The legendary ex-Red is asked that specific number of questions because he scored 25 goals during the 2002/03 season, when he won the Premier League’s Golden Boot award.

这位前红魔传奇被提问25个的原因是他在2002/03赛季进了25粒进球，获得了当赛季英超金靴。

In total, van Nistelrooy netted 150 times throughout five popular seasons at United and you can watch every single one of his finishes in the video below – trust us, you won’t regret it.

范尼在效力曼联的5个赛季里总共进了150个进球，你可以在MUTV观看所有进球，而且你肯定不会失望。

Neville asks a series of wide-ranging questions to learn more about his former team-mates, but there are naturally a large number that extract answers of a Red persuasion.

内维尔问了范尼一系列覆盖范围很广的问题，来了解这位前队友，但是自然会有很多问题引出和曼联相关的答案。

Ruud reveals the favourite goal he has ever scored is the individual effort against Fulham at Old Trafford, and also heaps praise on Sir Alex Ferguson when asked to name his best manager.

范尼揭露了他最喜欢的个人进球，是主场对阵富勒姆靠个人能力的进球。当他被问及谁是他最好的教练时，他对弗格森爵士赞不绝口。

“Sir Alex,” answers Ruud. “Because I had him for a long time, for five years, he is the manager I played under for the longest. His legacy really, I was part of that for five years and looking back on it, that five years, the way he managed the team, the players, the club, that for me is the best.”

“弗格森爵士，”范尼回答道。“因为我在他手下效力了5年，他是我合作过时间最长的主教练。他给球队留下的遗产很厚重，我在那五年亲自看着他掌管球队、球员、俱乐部，他对我而言是最棒的。”

Van Nistelrooy names paella as his favourite food, inspired by his time with Real Madrid, but he amusingly remembers an unusual meal that he used to eat at United - a chocolate muffin with custard!

范尼最喜欢的食物是西班牙烩饭，这是他在皇马效力期间喜欢上的。但是令人感到有趣的是，他在效力曼联期间吃到过一次不寻常的食物——巧克力松饼配奶油布丁！

"I loved it," laughs Ruud. "I had loads of that custard on it, I used to love it. But there was also a white sponge cake with custard and that was also very nice. I had this big bowl!”

“我太爱这个了，”范尼笑称。“我配了相当多的奶油布丁在上面，而且我曾经很喜欢这个。但是这里同样还有白色海绵蛋糕配奶油布丁，我也很喜欢这个。我曾经吃了一大碗！

The striker reveals he once watched his favourite band Coldplay at Bolton Wanderers' stadium with team-mate Edwin van der Sar, before detailing his pre-match ritual at United.

这位前锋透露，他有一次和队友范德萨一同观看了他喜欢的Coldplay乐队在博尔顿流浪者球场的演唱会，在落实他在曼联的赛前仪式之前。

“I was always in the treatment room, I was changed quickly, and I was just there relaxing on the massage beds with the physios, reading the match programme,” says Ruud. “Most of the players were in the lounges waiting and then changing. I was already changed.

“我经常在医疗室，我换衣服很快。我在那里让理疗师给我在理疗床上按摩，同时阅读比赛流程，”范尼提到。“大多数球员都在休息室等着，然后换衣服。而此时我已经换了。”

“It happened sometimes when the gaffer called me into his office and I was already changed, and he told me I was not in the squad. I put on the suit again! I was always getting changed and thinking I'm playing today. I needed to have that, even though I didn't know it. Another Dutch confident guy!”

“有时候教练把我叫到他的办公室，而我已经换好衣服了，然后他告诉我说我不在名单里。于是我就重新穿上御林冠和西装！每次都会这样换来换去，还想着今天一定能踢球。其实当时并不知道自己需要这种态度，但现在回想起来才发现原来也算得上是一个充满信心的荷兰小伙子！”

Sir Alex is the most famous name in his contact list and, when asked to name the best defender he played against, the goalscorer points to a formidable backline we faced in the Champions League.

弗格森爵士是他通讯录里最有名的人。当他被问及他对位过的最强的防守队员时，这位得分能手指出了曼联在欧冠中面对的一条强硬的后防线。

“I always say when we played Milan away in the last 16, it was Cafu, Nesta, Jaap [Stam] and Maldini. That was the back four with Gattuso in front. Okay, that was too much, that was too much.

“我经常提到我们在客场面对AC米兰的欧冠16强比赛，对方的后防线是卡福、内斯塔、斯塔姆、马尔蒂尼。同时他们前面还有加图索。这就足够了，这已经足够了。

“I would say when I played Jaap in that game, I know playing with him for the national team and United, but actually playing against him, that was a beast. Quick, also on the turn because that's when you want to beat these guys, the determination, the aggressiveness as well. It's a lot.”

“当我那场比赛和斯塔姆对位时，我知道在国家队和曼联和他做过队友，但是当我和他做对手时，他就是个野兽。他速度和转身都很快。如果你想要打败这些人，你需要决心和攻击性。这很重要。”

It's safe to say Ruud did not enjoy playing against his compatriot Jaap.

范尼说他并不享受和他同胞斯塔姆对位，还好说出来这件事是安全的。

Ruud chooses Cristiano Ronaldo as the penalty taker if his life depended on the outcome and, to conclude, he touches on his famous miss against Arsenal that promoted ugly scenes at the height of our famous rivalry.

如果他的生命安危取决于接下来的点球，那么范尼会选择C罗作为罚点球的人选。之后，他又提到他对阿森纳时著名的失误，这在我们积分竞争最激烈的时候制造了一个丑陋的场景。

“I was calm because I missed, I was upset, but then the year after was nice.”

“因为我失误了，所以我很平静，但我也很沮丧，但是一年过后我就没有那种感觉了。”
