‧ Arsenal fall short when it comes to 'confidence and mentality'
Arsenal 缺少必須的信心和積極的心態
‧ Fábregas highlights lack of belief against top opposition
Fabregas 指出缺少對抗明星球會的信心。


Cesc Fábregas has admitted Arsenal were "scared" of losing to Manchester
United at Old Trafford last Monday and that they fear defeat in major
fixtures.

Cesc Fabregas 承認在上週一於 Old Trafford 輸給 ManUtd 的 Arsenal 球隊，比賽前
既膽怯會輸給對方，也害怕在重大賽事裏輸球。


Arsenal lost 1-0 to a Park Ji-sung header to continue a dire run against
United, who beat them home and away in the league last season. Arsène
Wenger's side have also lost their last four league games against Chelsea,
the reigning champions.

Arsenal 敗在 Park Ji-sung 一記頭球，以 1-0 輸給在主場的 ManUtd，且 Arsenal 持
續著悲慘的雙方交戰紀錄，上賽季亦在主客兩場皆輸給 ManUtd。教授 的槍手們也連續輸
給上屆冠軍 Chelsea 四場英超比賽。


"They [United] were more aggressive than us," Fábregas said. "They have the
belief that comes from not losing at all [in the league] this season. That
gives you a lot of help mentally. I'm realising more and more that football
is all about confidence and mentality. Sometimes you do the right thing but,
if people tell you it's not right, you start believing it, even though you
were right at first.

『他們(ManUtd)比我們積極得多，』Fabregas 表示。『他們有著來自本賽季(英超)未曾
輸球的信心。再精神上絕對高人一籌。我能肯定的是，足球表現是關乎於信心和心態的。
有時候你做著正確的事，要是有人告訴你做錯了，你就開始懷疑自己做錯了，即使原先你
做的才是正確的。』


"I think the difference on the night was that we were scared of losing but
they were not scared of winning. That was a big difference that played in our
heads. Sometimes we seem scared of losing these big games – we don't really
go for it and we're tempted to drop back and see what the opposition do. We
look to see if we are capable of beating them by what they are doing and how
good they are on the day, instead of us going forward, causing them problems
and dominating the game ourselves."

『我認為當晚的差異就在於，我們害怕輸球，但他們不怕有沒有贏球。這就是在我們的念
頭中與對方最大差異了。有時我們看起來害怕輸掉重大賽事─ 我們沒有積極去贏，常常
落後對方，只能觀望對方的一舉一動。我們看上去像是，要靠對方的表現和狀態來決定我
們是否能贏，而不是積極主動、製造給對方防禦的威脅、以及掌控全局。』


Wenger admitted his side had been tense. "We looked a little nervous at Old
Trafford. We put a bit too much pressure on our shoulders because we were so
intent on winning a big game and as a result we didn't turn up with the kind
of performance we can produce."

教授 也承認自己的隊伍表現有點緊張。『在 Old Trafford 我們顯得有點緊張。給自己
心理上太多壓力，因為我們渴望贏下重大比賽，結果未能以平時的表現來扳轉劣勢。』


Arsenal are two points behind United, who have 34 points and a game in hand.
Yet with Manchester City level with Arsenal and Chelsea a point behind,
Wenger believes the title race is unpredictable. "This championship remains
very open. Don't forget that we have played at United, at City, at Chelsea
and at Liverpool, so we are in a strong position. Now the rest of the season
will be decided on how much we've learned, how much we improve and how much
confidence we can take from our performances so far."

Arsenal 以2分落後目前34分且少賽一場的 ManUtd。然而 ManCity 與我們同分，而
Chelsea 落後 Arsenal 一分。教授認為英超冠軍的得獎者難以預測。『英超冠軍依然競
爭激烈。別忘了我們分別在 ManUtd、ManCity、Chelsea、以及 Liverpool 的主場踢過比
賽，還能領先許多隊伍。接下來的賽程，就看我們所汲取的教訓、改善的程度、以及到目
前為止在比賽中的表現所展現的信心有多少。』


Arsenal play Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League, having been
defeated 6-3 on aggregate by Pep Guardiola's team in the quarter-finals last
year. But Wenger said: "We want to qualify, to knock them out, rather than
worrying about avenging last year's defeat."

Arsenal 在上賽季於歐冠的八強賽遇上 Barcelona，並以 6-3 輸給由 Pep Guardiola 所
執教的球隊，而後者止於四強未能晉級。但 教授 表示：『我們要晉級，擊敗對手，而非
去想報仇上賽季輸球的恥辱。』


Wenger is content regarding injuries. "Overall the situation looks quite
positive. Abou Diaby is back in full training. Cesc Fábregas and Robin van
Persie have had more minutes on the pitch and are getting better and better.
We think Thomas Vermaelen can return in January."

教授 對傷兵復原情況感到滿意。『整體而言，狀況都不錯。Abou Diaby 已回到正式訓練
。Cesc Fabregas 和 Robin van Persie 最近有上場過，且狀態也越來越好。我們認為
Thomas Vermaelen 可能在一月歸隊。』

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

我得承認，
這正是為什麼我不敢看強對強的比賽。
(上週一晚上一直夢想著槍手勝曼聯(1-0)，然後又覺得太貪心了，平手好了(1-1)
又覺得不夠，要多進一顆球(2-1)，接下去就.....只記得夢到5-5就睡著了(￣□￣|||)a

正因為前賽季的看球感受、以及過去的紀錄，
對於自己身為一個槍手球迷，
總是為每次的大賽感到擔憂，
總是期待能領先，哪怕是一個幸運進球也好，
可以改變自己看球的悲觀態度。
(逆轉勝也好,10/16 逆轉勝 Birmingham 那次就令我格外地激動，恰恰的進球更是一絕)

球迷能做的，也只能在比賽前、過程中、以及賽後表達對其之熱愛：

Arsenal! 打出你們的風格吧！週末在主場拿下 Chelsea 並宣示奪冠氣勢吧！

Goal! Goal! Arsenal!
We r the Champions !
