Szczesny admits complacency - 阿森納兵工廠足球俱樂部 Arsenal Football Club

晚點中文官網blog應該就會有逐字翻譯，大概翻一下整篇

去年歐冠主場vs拜仁狂失三球，聯賽對AV丟了一低級失球後被放到板凳上CCC尼

承認去年後半段因為缺乏競爭而有些自滿

當時狀態正勇的法比羊接替的他位置 但後來又極其不走運的受傷，

C尼本季會記取教訓不讓狀態起伏如此明顯，

結論：去年歐冠主場那三球都不是必進球，

只要擋下一球搞不好現任宇宙隊就被淘汰了。

今年籤表又超硬，小組賽可以當作淘汰賽在踢了。

Wojciech Szczesny has confirmed that being benched in favour of Lukasz
Fabianski was the kick up the arse he needed to pull his finger out of his err
…arse.

The Arsenal number 1 was dropped last term following defeats to Bayern Munich
and Tottenham Hotspur in February and only regained his place in April when
Lukasz Fabianski accidentally banjaxed his ribs falling on Norwich’s human
hamburger Grant Holt.

Reflecting that he had perhaps become complacent during the course of last
season, the younger Pole admitted it took Fabianski’s resurgence to spur him
on to top form.

“He had some bad luck with injuries and I knew every single day that I was
going to be playing on Saturday,” Szczesny told Arsenal Player.

“Subconsciously you maybe take it easier in your head and only give 98 per
cent in training and not 110 per cent. It’s very important to have the
competition.

“It wasn’t nice [to be left out] – you want to be playing every week. But
then again, the most important thing is the team and that is what the team
needed.

“Lukasz was in better shape at that moment in time, he came in and did
really well. I worked really hard to get back into the team and when I did I
thought I did pretty well. It was good decision by the manager.

“I worked on my fitness and sharpness and came in much earlier every day to
work in the gym with the fitness coaches and the physios. There was a lot of
stuff to be done – I realised I wasn’t in the best shape, but it all worked
out pretty well.”

Outlining his aims for this season, Szczesny continued:

“Hopefully I can be the Club’s No 1 this season. It is important, I want to
win a trophy for this club because that is what is missing in my career and I
’m sure it is what the fans have been missing. It’s a big season.”

He’s looked pretty sharp so far this season and with Emiliano Viviano also
challenging for a starting berth he’s no room to let his standards slip
again.
