【曼城晚报】布朗重振精神 Brown keeping his chin up

WES Brown refuses to get downhearted at the way his injury curse returned just as he was starting to fulfil his enormous potential.
Sir Alex Ferguson has always viewed Brown as one of the most natural defenders he has worked with at Manchester United.
Yet, on too many occasions, the 29-year-old's progress has been halted. Cruciate operations on both knees, a broken ankle and a host of muscular problems have kept Brown on the sidelines for extended periods.
It seemed those problems were at an end though when Brown stepped into Gary Neville's right-back role and became an integral member of the United side that swept to a Premier League and Champions League double in 2008.曼联,曼联BT,曼联在线视频,曼联图片,曼联新闻,曼联论坛7 p' x' R; n# K" [/ S( C- I
At that stage, with a place in Fabio Capello's England team for the first four games of their outstanding World Cup qualifying campaign, including the famous triumph over Croatia in Zagreb, also secured, the future looked bright for Brown.
Instead, after irritating Ferguson by dragging his heels over contract negotiations and then getting an ear-bashing for an own goal he scored at Liverpool, Brown's career was put on hold again by a ankle injury that ultimately kept him out for all but three games of the remainder of last season.www.imanutd.com( y3 g/ V8 n* _$ L) a
Brown's hopes of hitting the ground running this term were wrecked by a thigh problem suffered during a pre-season game in Munich, condemning the likeable Mancunian to spend the start of this term warming the bench.曼联,曼联BT,曼联在线视频,曼联图片,曼联新闻,曼联论坛  A4 S* E. h$ l7 l7 R
Although the defender has made three appearances, his only starts came against Burnley and Arsenal last month and he did not even make the bench for Sunday's amazing derby clash with City at Old Trafford.
So once more, Brown has a sense of making up for lost time when he features in tomorrow night's Carling Cup tie with Wolves.专业曼联球迷网站,曼联球迷的地盘,为广大球迷提供最新曼联新闻与视频资源.2 D! g' p' m% I% Q& C- y. I. {
"It was frustrating not to be able to build on where I was at the end of 2008," he said.

Rafael Da Silva came from nowhere to show himself a player of immense promise and then, when the latter stages of the campaign demanded more experience, John O'Shea filled the void so effectively he was one of the first names on Ferguson's team sheet for last season's Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.
"That is football," shrugged Brown.

在2008年，他顶替内维尔出现在右后卫的位置上，成为了曼联获得双冠王的最大功臣，似乎一切阴霾已经远去。

在布朗受伤的这段时间，很多右后卫的竞争者都涌现出来，而不只是老将内维尔的复出。

来菲尔-达-席尔瓦展现了自己过人的天赋，而在重要的场合，奥谢也很好的填补了这一空白，上个赛季的欧冠决赛，他是弗格森的首选。
