Mesut Ozil - his first Arsenal interview

http://tinyurl.com/jvlkz47

Mesut, welcome to Arsenal. How does it feel to be joining the Club?
Mesut, 歡迎來到兵工廠，加入這支球隊的感覺是？

It feels really good. I’m really looking forward to the challenge, life
there [in London] and [meeting] my team-mates, the manager and the fans,
as well as the Premier League. I’m really excited. It’s a perfect decision
for me and and I’m looking forward to it all.
我感覺真的很好，也真的很盼望著接下來的挑戰，以及在倫敦的生活並跟我的隊友、
主帥和球迷見面，當然還包括英超聯賽。我很興奮，這對我來說是個完美的決定，我
期盼著所有的一切。

What made you choose Arsenal in particular? How important was Arsène Wenger
in your decision?
你為什麼選擇了兵工廠？溫格在你的決定中扮演著如何重要的角色？

I chose Arsenal because they are one of the top clubs in England. The coach
is a world-class manager - he's demonstrated that for years. A lot of
players have developed under his guidance in the past and that's why I
decided to join Arsenal. I want to improve myself further and I'm looking
forward to the style of play. Arsenal are well known for the strength of
their technical game and their desire to play attacking football. I think I
will fit perfectly into that. That’s why I chose to sign for the Club.
我選兵工廠是因為他們是英格蘭頂級俱樂部之一，他們的主帥也是世界級的，並且已經
執教兵工廠很多年，過去有很多球員在他的指引下發展，這就是我決定加入兵工廠的
原因。我想要更進一步地提高自己，也很盼望著加入到球隊的風格中去。兵工廠是以在
比賽中技術出眾而聞名的，他們也渴望踢出攻勢足球，我認為我會完美地融合進來，這
也是我簽這家俱樂部的原因。

How important in your decision was the ambition of the Club and the plans
they are making?
俱樂部的雄心和計畫在你的決定中又起著什麼樣的作用？

That was very important. The most important thing is that the manager has
given me his trust. I want to show my potential and have fun on the pitch.
I think that I can help the team through my performances.
那是很重要的，最重要的是主帥給了我信任，我想要在場上展現自己的潛力並尋找快
樂，我認為我能通過自己的表現來幫助球隊。

Did you talk to Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski about the Club before you
made your decision?
加入俱樂部前有先向Mertesacker和Podolski談過你的決定嗎？

Unfortunately not. It all happened so fast. I spoke to the manager a lot on
the phone and he presented his vision and what he thinks about me. That
convinced me and that’s why I am now at Arsenal.
沒有捏。一切都發生的很快。我和主教練煲了很久的電話粥，他說明了他的觀點以及他
對我的想法，他說服了我，這是為什麼現在我在這裡。

And what about the style of play at Arsenal. How much did that attract you?
兵工廠的風格是怎樣？那又如何吸引了你？

Like I said, Arsenal are one of the technically strongest teams in the world.
The manager always wants to play attractive and attacking football. I think
I fit into that because I enjoy playing quickly - that's one-touch football'.
I’m happy to be part of the Club and I hope I can help the team.
像我說的，兵工廠是世界上技術流強隊之一，主教練總是想踢出好看又攻擊性強的足球，
我可以融入這種風格，因為我喜歡踢快節奏，也就是一腳觸球（one-touch football）。
我很高興成為俱樂部的一員，我希望我能幫助這支隊伍。

Do you feel this squad can deliver trophies this season?
你本賽季認為這支隊伍可以奪冠嗎？

Definitely. In the last few years, Arsenal haven’t been so successful but we
want to become more successful. We want to win trophies. I think the fans are
looking forward to that too. We have a very strong and a very young team that
can improve a lot under the manager. I think we will win trophies because we
have the potential [to do so].
絕對行！過去幾年兵工廠沒能成事，但現在我們希望取得更多的成就！我們想要冠軍！
我想球迷也很盼望這點。我們這支隊伍很年輕也很強大，在主教練的帶領下會進步的。
我認為我們有潛力奪冠。

You've created more chances from open play than anyone else in Europe in the
last five years. From a personal point of view, do you value assists as much
as goals?
過去五年全歐洲創造得分機會最多的人是你。從個人的觀點來看，你認為助攻和進球的
價值是否等同？

Yes, of course. It [assists] leads to success and I’m the sort of player
that likes to create goals. I think a lot of my team-mates know me as a
player who is not selfish. It makes me very happy when I create goals or
score goals myself. But the most important thing is that the team reaches
its goal and plays positive football.
噢，當然！助攻是邁向成功的道路！我是那種喜歡創造進球的球員。我想我很多隊友都
知道我是無私的人。當我創造進球或我自己射進，我都會很開心。但最重要的還是，球隊
達成目標，踢出積極的足球。

The Premier League has a different style to La Liga. How do you think you
will adapt and how will it add new qualities to your game?
英超的風格和西甲截然不同，你認為是否能適應呢？你又是否會為自己的比賽注入一些新
的元素？

I’m happy to be playing in the Premier League because everyone knows it's
the strongest league in the world. There are simply a lot of top teams. I
want to prove myself there. It’s a new challenge for me, a new task. I'm
looking forward to that. I want to improve further under the boss and in the
team. I’m really excited about it.
我很開心將在英超踢球，世人皆知英超是世界上最強的聯賽，強隊環伺。我希望在這裡
取得進步。這對我來說是全新的挑戰，我相當期待。在這支球隊、在主教練的帶領下，
我想變得更強，我對此感到超興奮的！

Going back to your roots as boy playing football, it always said that
Affenkafig [cage football] had big influence on your technique. Can you tell
us why?
回到你小時候的踢球環境，據說籠式足球對你的技術產生了很大的影響，你能告訴我們
這是為什麼嗎？

Because the pitch was so small. Most of the time, I played against people
that were five or six years older than me. At the time I was not that tall.
I had to establish myself against older and stronger people. Because the
pitch was so small, we didn't have any corners. The game always went on.
This helped me to improve my technique a lot. That definitely made my life
easier for the future. I think you can see on the pitch that I'm technically
gifted.
因為那場地實在太小了，我長時間對抗的對手又都是比我大五、六歲的，而且那時我個
子不高，所以不得不想辦法在跟比我年紀更大，實力比我更強的人之間立足。然後還是
因為場地實在太小，所以沒有角球，比賽就一直不間斷地持續下去，這就幫助我提高了
自己的很多技術，這明顯使得我未來的足球生涯變得容易了，我認為在場上你能看到我
的技術是不錯的。

When you were a kid playing football for fun, which famous player did you
pretend to be and why?
當你還是個孩子的時候，你喜歡哪名著名的球星，為什麼？

I've said recently that my idol was Zinedine Zidane because for me, he was
the perfect player. He was good in the air. He was strong defensively and
offensively. He was my idol. He had hardly any negative headlines including
in his private life. He was a role model for me. Therefore, it was Zinedine
Zidane.
我說過我的偶像是Zidane，因為在我看來他是個完美的球員。他制空能力好，在攻
防兩端都很強，他是我的偶像。而且他的私生活幾乎也沒有負面新聞，因此他是我的榜
樣。

You first came to the attention of the English public in 2009 at the UEFA
Under-21 Championship, when you inspired Germany to a 4-0 win over England.
Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs were playing in that game too. What do you
remember of it?
你第一次給英格蘭公眾留下印象是在2009年的U21歐錦賽上，有場比賽德國以4-0擊敗了
英格蘭，Walcott和Gibbs也參加了那場比賽，你是否還記得？

In any case, it was definitely a great time. We won the Under-21 European
Championship. The team was just class. We had very good players in our ranks
under the management of our coaches Horst Hrubesch and Dieter Eilts. It was
a very nice moment. I think we dominated the game. We really fulfilled our
potential and deserved to win by such a scoreline. It was a great experience
for me personally.
無論如何那都是段偉大的時刻，我們後來贏得了冠軍，那支球隊很優秀，在霍斯特-赫魯
貝施（HorstHrubesch）和埃爾茨（DieterEilts）手下，我們有很多非常好的球員。那
是個美妙的時刻，我認為我們主宰了比賽，也完美展現了自己的潛力並配得上冠軍的榮
譽，那對我個人來說是次偉大的體驗。

As a person, how much do you think you will enjoy moving to a city like
London?
是否很享受來到倫敦這樣一座城市？

I think a lot. I have heard a lot of positive things about London. It's a
'world city' where there is lots going on. You can do lots of things, also
privately. I’m looking forward to the city. But I will be working there and
37mthat is what is important.
我認為是的，我聽說了很多關於倫敦積極的資訊，這是一座「世界之城」，你可以在這
做很多事情，我期盼著在那裡工作，這很重要。

Do you have a message for the Arsenal fans?
你對兵工廠球迷有什麼想說的嗎？

I’m so happy to be playing at Arsenal. I’m honoured by it. I hope we can
have a successful season.
我很高興和很有榮幸能為兵工廠踢球，我希望我們能擁有一個成功的賽季。
