Close race for the Champions League spots
欧冠席位的激烈竞争February 9th, 2015
Hi everyone,
Hi，各位
I’m just back home after the match in London, to close yet another week with two games. We did better in the FA Cup than in the Premier League, nevertheless we were able to rescue one point thanks to Daley’s good volley at the end. We saw all the good work that West Ham is doing this season, and they were a threat to David several times. They are always tough to beat at home, and their position on the table is well deserved.
伦敦的比赛结束后刚回到家，又一个双赛周结束了。我们在足总杯的表现比在联赛好些。不管怎么说，感谢大雷（·布林德）最后时刻漂亮的凌空射门让我们可以挽回一分。（从这场比赛中）我们看到了West Ham这个赛季所做出的杰出工作，他们数次威胁大卫（荷鸭）把守的大门。他们的主场总是很塔夫，难以击败，当前在积分榜上的排名，他们值得拥有。
Against Cambridge in Old Trafford we were able to win, so we are through to play Preston in the next round. But that is Monday next week. Before that we play at home against Burnley and we must win this one because the race for the Champions League spots is now very close. We have to get the three points at home, we know that, and that’s what we are working for. I’m sure we will make it with our people’s help.
在OT赢下Cambridge，令我们可以晋级下一轮，对阵Preston。不过这是下周一的事了。在那场比赛之前我们还要在主场对阵Burnley，我们必须赢得这场比赛因为现在欧冠席位的争夺实在太激烈了。我们必须在主场拿到3分，是的我们都很清楚，那就是我们努力的目标。我坚信在球迷的助威下这个目标我们一定会达成。
That’s exactly what happened against Cambridge. Playing the ‘replay’ in Old Trafford is always special to us because we do feel the extraordinary support of the United fans. We know every game is special, and in this occasion the victory was for all the supporters who were facing the cold to be with us. It was a great night because I had the chance to score one of the goals, and also because, as I always say, I like very much the FA Cup.
这正正是我们在对阵Cambridge的时候所发生的。在OT的“重赛”总是很特别，因为我们感受到了来自曼联球迷的特别的支持。我们知道每场比赛都很特别，这一次的胜利属于和我们一起面对严寒的支持者们。这个夜晚非常棒，因为我有机会攻入其中一个进球，同时也因为，就像我老是说的，我非常喜欢F Cup。
In Spain, I was really surprised by the 4-0 win of Atlético against Real Madrid on Saturday. I don’t remember such a defeat for Real Madrid to be honest, but of course we have to give credit to the winners, because they were the better team throughout the entire game. However, let’s not forget that Ancelotti’s team still leads the table, although everything is closer now following Barcelona’s victory in a very entertaining game in San Mamés. It seems Bar?a is finding a way to maximise the potential of an outstanding attacking power. Messi participated in every goal and there is perfect understanding between him, Neymar and Suárez. There are no teams who wouldn’t be in trouble against them.
在西班牙，我被周六马竞4-0大胜皇马的比赛惊到了。说实话我不记得皇马曾有过这样的大败，不过当然我们只能给胜利者点赞，因为他们在整场比赛中由始至终都是更好的一队。但是，我们别忘了安胖的球队仍旧是联赛领头羊，虽然紧接着巴萨在San Mamés赢下一场富于观赏性的比赛之后让一切都变得更接近了。看起来巴萨找到了最大化他们的杰出攻击力潜能的方法。梅西参与了每个进球，他和尼玛、苏牙非常默契。对阵他们的球队没有一支不头疼的。
Valencia did good too and proved to be one of the big teams to beat this season. They defeated Espanyol, a good side with a player that had, again, a good performance: Sergio García. Being back to the Champions League would be a great reward for my former team and something that both the club and the fans deserve.
Valencia也做得不错，他们证明自己这个赛季也是不会轻易被打败的球队之一。他们战胜了西班牙人，还有一个好的方面是，Sergio Garcia又一次有好表现。回到冠军联赛将是对我旧主的巨大奖赏，也是俱乐部和球迷应得的。
I want to congratulate C?te d’Ivoire for winning the Africa Cup of Nations, a tournament that leaves, as usual, amazing goals and very interesting players to follow. The penalties shootout seemed never-ending and thrilling, with the goalkeeper Barry as the hero at the end of it. My encouragement to Ghana, it’s not easy to lose this way after the good Cup they did, but football always gives you a chance to get your revenge and they will have it eventually.
我想祝贺科特迪瓦获得非洲杯的冠军。这项锦标赛和以往一样，留下了精彩的进球和值得关注的有趣的球员。点球决胜看起来永无止境和惊心动魄，最终门神Barry成为英雄。支持加纳，在如此好的表现之后以这样的方式输球并不容易接受，不过足球总是给你机会卷土重来，他们终究会做到这一点的。
Thank you once again for all your messages. We will keep fighting to get better and try to win every game. Have a nice week!
再次感谢你们的回复。我们将继续战斗，变得更强，尽力赢下每场比赛。祝拥有愉快的一周。
Hugs,
抱抱，
