축잘알 지미홍's 풋볼인사이드

Eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt will join the A-League's Central Coast Mariners for an "indefinite" training period as he works to realize his dream to become a professional footballer.

8개의 올림픽 금메달을 따낸 우사인 볼트가 A 리그(호주 프로축구리그) 센트럴 코스트 마리너스에 무기한 연습생 신분으로 훈련에 참가하며 프로축구 선수의 꿈을 이루기 위해 노력한다.


The 31-year-old, who retired from athletics last year, is an avid Manchester United fan who has long wanted to play top-flight football.

작년, 육상에서 은퇴한 서른한 살의 볼트는 맨체스터 유나이티드의 열렬한 팬으로, 최상위의 축구리그에서 선수로 뛰기를 오랜 기간 바라왔다.


He has already tried out with teams in Germany, Norway and South Africa, to no avail.

그는 이미 독일, 노르웨이, 남아프리카공화국의 축구팀에 도전했지만, 소용이 없었다.


Undeterred, the Mariners have agreed to see what he has to offer and the sprint legend is set to arrive at their training ground in Gosford, 75 kilometers north of Sydney, later this month.

좌절하지 않은 끝에, 마리너스가 볼트의 재능을 확인할 수 있는 기회를 제공하기로 동의했고 이에 따라 그는 시드니 북부에서 75km 떨어진 고스포드의 훈련장에 이달 말 도착할 예정이다.


"The agreement between the Central Coast Mariners and Usain Bolt does not guarantee a professional playing contract," the club said on their website late Tuesday.

센트럴 코스트 마리너스 측은 "팀과 우사인 볼트의 이번 계약은 프로선수로 뛰는 것을 보장하는 계약은 아니다"라고 화요일 오후에 팀 웹사이트에 공지했다.


"But it does provide the eight-time Olympic gold medallist with an opportunity to achieve his burning desire to play football professionally."

"하지만 우리는 올림픽 8회 금메달리스트인 볼트가 프로축구 선수로 뛰고자 하는 불타는 열정을 이룰 수 있게 기회를 제공할 것"이라고 밝혔다.
