http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2230183/ Josh gets his teenage kicks with Boro but he still dreams of Chelsea By Colin Young - PUBLISHED: 23:00 GMT, 8 November 2012 Did you ever think you would hear a teenage Premier League footballer use the phrase 'jumpers for goalposts?' Meet Chelsea's Josh McEachran. That was his childhood growing up in Oxfordshire. He was handed his first Chelsea strip by the club at the age of eight and wore it every day in the family back garden, if he could be bothered to get out of his school uniform. Two versus two with his three brothers, who can all play a bit and are all midfielders. Josh, 19, is the oldest so teamed up with George, the youngest, now 12 — who has followed Josh's footsteps, and their parents Julie and Mark's car journeys, to the Chelsea academy. Their opponents were Billy, now 14, and second oldest Zak, 18, who was released by Chelsea five years ago and now plays for Oxford City. Got that? Josh and George v Billy and Zak. http://tinyurl.com/apahlga 還真陽光.... 'We were lucky we had a good relationship with the neighbours and they'd always throw the ball back,' Josh said. 'It was all we did. Two v two after school every day. As soon as we got in, we'd chuck the bags down and head out there. It was a small garden, no grass on it, just mud, we'd put down little jumpers for goalposts, get a proper ball out and batter the fences. 'It was really competitive. They are all good footballers and it usually ended in a little row and we'd sort it out the next night. My grandad played semi-pro in Scotland and my dad only played locally but he reckons he could play. I think he thinks he is better than he was but it's weird he has sons who are all pretty good.' Asked who is the best of the McEachrans, he gives it some thought, blushes and smiles when he nominates himself. It is a rare moment of bravado from a shy young man who is certainly not afraid to express himself on a football pitch. Those who have seen him play will not be surprised that his skills were honed in an enclosed backyard. He can also play a bit. He has played in 22 Chelsea games since his debut in the Champions League against MSK Zilina two years ago when he became the first player to be born after the competition started (November 1992) to play in it. http://tinyurl.com/a2r4ukg 陽光足球... But a loan spell at Swansea last season fell flat, despite his style suiting Brendan Rodgers. He played five games in five months, three as a substitute. 'I went at a bad time,' he said. 'They wanted to stay up, they were playing really well and Brendan didn't want to change the team so it was tough to get in. Gylfi Sigurdsson came in a week before me, he was on fire from the start so he had to play. They did well and I can't blame him.' Now on loan at Middlesbrough, he is a regular in their midfield, playing a pivotal role in Tony Mowbray's typically free-flowing side, who can go top of the Championship with a victory over Sheffield Wednesday on Friday night. McEachran is enjoying his time on Teesside. He lives at the luxurious Rockcliffe Hall adjacent to the training ground, spending an ideal day off with his girlfriend, whom he mentions a lot, even though she is supposed to be off limits. She is Coronation Street actress Brooke Vincent, aka Sophie Webster. http://tinyurl.com/b4q7obq Brooke Vincent It is the football I'm interested in and McEachran believes the move to the most northern Championship club is helping his development. It is working for Middlesbrough, who are looking for their biggest crowd for four years, despite the Sky cameras, after luring fans back with a half-price ticket offer. It helps that Mowbray's methods are working. http://tinyurl.com/bavjnmp 傳球大師 McEachran said: 'I could have gone to a few teams but I met Tony, got on with him and his assistant Mark Venus, saw the training ground. I know his style is to get the ball down, pass it through midfield, so it was an easy choice. He drums it in every day in training. I am playing games, which is what I came to do, and Middlesbrough are doing well. The standard is good, really competitive, anyone can beat anyone. 'My body is getting used to it but I am feeling fitter than ever and training is not as intense because of all the games.' McEachran is under constant review from Chelsea and he is in regular contact with assistant first-team coach Steve Holland. He has watched recordings of seen every Chelsea game. They could recall him in January, so he wants to be primed for that. While Middlesbrough is a happy temporary location, he did not sign a five-year contract last season for the sake of it. He said: 'I don't see Mata, Hazard or Oscar in my position. It would be good to play with those players, they are all on fire. I am a deeper midfielder, so that's my favourite position, where Mikel, Lampard or Ramires play. 'I've been there since I was seven and came through the youth system, so that is my dream club. That is who I want to play for, but this experience can only help me.' -- "We believe the same thing." "Maybe there is hope." - 9x20 The Truth -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.248.158.210
