Here I am writing to you for the second time this season, and after a second win. I hope we can keep this coincidence many more weeks… ;-). In terms of football, the week ends with a very good feeling again, following another convincing victory, although perhaps the score was too high. One thing is for sure, we have reasons to be happy with the confidence and determination that we are showing on the pitch, but we also know that this is just the beginning… It was fantastic to see so many Reds in the stands in Swansea. Celebrating the victories with you is priceless, you guys are great!
The next weekend we have a new opportunity to keep gaining momentum, this time against Leicester, always a tough opponent. It would be great to take the first international break of the season with nine points out of nine.
Regarding la Liga’s kick-off in Spain, I’d like to point out Valencia’s good start. I always wish them the best of luck. We’ve also enjoyed some nice, carefree football from teams like Betis and Girona, while Real Madrid keeps the same high level of the last few months, after winning the European and the Spanish Super Cups recently.
在西乙联赛，皇家奥维耶多没有收获最好的开局，不过球队必须要向前看。他们还有很长的一段路要走！
In the Second Division, Real Oviedo didn’t have the best possible start but the team has to keep looking ahead. There’s still a very long way to go!
正如我之前所说，这些天我们在球场上的感觉非常积极，但是显然对我们所有人来说这是非常悲伤和不幸的一周。很难不去想上周四在巴塞罗那发生的事。在最近的几个月，我们已经见证了好几起可怕的恐怖袭击，无法令人理解，不管事件发生在哪个国家，他们袭击的是我们所有人……这一次是在西班牙，我的家，说实话，带着对受害者和他们家人的尊重和支持，要找到词语来表达我的愤怒和困惑都不容易。我只是希望自己永远都不用在书写这样的事了……
As I said before, the feelings on the pitch have been very positive again these days, but obviously it has been a very sad and tragic week for all of us. It’s impossible not to think about what happened in Barcelona last Thursday. In the last few months we have seen several of these horrific and incomprehensible attacks, and they affect all of us regardless of the country where it happens… This time it’s been in Spain, my home, and to be honest it’s not easy to find words to express the anger and incomprehension, together with respect and support for the victims and their families. I just hope I will never have to write about something like this again…
Let’s finish today’s post with something more positive: Common Goal. I guess you know that Mats Hummels joined the project this week. I want to thank him for his involvement and his desire to help so many people through football. Danke Mats! I’d also like to thank all of you, footballers or not, for your messages through the social media welcoming this project. I really feel there’s a nice movement emerging that will keep growing with passion, using the strength and union of football for the good of society.
我现在要停笔了。感谢你们的陪伴。我希望这周对每个人来说都会更美好。
抱抱
