'The game was really over before it started' - 阿森納兵工廠足球俱樂部 Arsenal Football Club

On conceding such an early goal…
“The most disappointing thing tonight is that we don’t feel like we’ve
played the Semi-Final of the Champions League because we were out of it after
10 minutes. We had 80 minutes to play against a team who defend well and
waited for the counter attack. We were in a position where we had to take all
the gambles after having started quite well. The most disappointing thing is
that the game was over before it started, that is most difficult to swallow.

今我們表現的不像是在打1/4決賽 開始10分鐘 比賽就像結束了


“We can only look at ourselves I must say but it’s very, very disappointing
to fight such a long way to get where we have been but to give the game away
like we did tonight.

大家都很失望

“It is the most disappointing. I felt the fans were really up for a big
night and to disappoint the people who stand behind the team so much tonight
hurts really.”

對球迷傷害很大

On individual mistakes costing his team…
“We do not want to blame any player individually. It is like that and in two
minutes we conceded two goals which was too much on a night like that against
a team who defends well and comes out on the counter-attack.

沒必要針對個人

“We were ready for a fight, ready for a game, but after 10 minutes it was
impossible. We kept going and we did as much as we could, played with pride
and desire, but of course some part of the belief had gone.”

有部分的信念 因為場上的局勢而消逝

On Man United deserving their place in the Final…
“We could talk all night but it would not change the mistakes now – that’s
the game. I must say that, over the two games, Man United deserved to go
through because the game could have been over in the first leg. We had a good
opportunity to come back and I believe we would have done it but overall they
were the better side – congratulation to them and good luck in the Final.

我想信我們有機會贏 但曼聯處於較佳的位置(狀態)

“We had some experienced defensive players who were out for a long time. We
had to deal with that. I wouldn’t like to blame the players who played but it
’s part of football. Of course you do not plan it but we have to stand up
for it and finish the season well and respond well against Chelsea.”

傷病的問題

On the possibility of adding to his squad in the summer…
(夏轉)

“It’s a difficult question to answer tonight because I am too disappointed.
I need to take some distance with this season. We are on a consistent run of
21 games unbeaten but recently in the games that have mattered, like Chelsea
and tonight, we couldn’t win. That of course needs thinking.

雖然聯賽21場不敗 但關鍵比賽贏不下來 我們需要好好想想

“It’s easy to say that we need a bit of experience but I am convinced that
we have the quality and we’ll continue to develop. If you look at the
average age of the team it is still very young. To reach that level deserves
a lot of credit but tonight we were caught by a team who has the art to kill
and take advantage of mistakes. I believe Cristiano Ronaldo today gave us a
tough time.

我們的球隊還年輕會繼續成長 做到這樣是需要信念的
