Does the fact you're in the Champions League final mean this has been a successful campaign?
你们进入欧冠决赛是否意味着这已经是一场成功的战役?
At the moment it has been a successful campaign but obviously finishing with this final means we have a massive motivation for the last game. Once we start the final we just want to play and win it, but we know it will be difficult.
在此时这确实是十分成功,但是很显然拿下最后的冠军需要我们拥有巨大的斗志.一旦比赛开始我们只想用心去比赛并且赢得冠军,但是我们知道这场比赛将十分艰苦.
You must have been hugely impressed with AC Milan in their two semi-final matches. United were under strength but Milan played some terrific football didn't they?
你一定对米兰半决赛第二回合的比赛印象深刻.MU十分强大但是米兰却演绎出令人可怕的足球,不是么?
Especially in the second leg at the San Siro when Milan played really well. They were dynamic, playing with a very good tempo over the 90 minutes and they played much better than Manchester United. The final will be different and hopefully we will play the way we know.
尤其在圣西罗的第二回合米兰表现得十分优异,他们十分有活力,而且在90分钟内速度保持得很好并且比MU表现得要好.这场决赛将不同以往但愿我们能按照我们的节奏完成比赛.
Everyone talks about Kaka but do you believe they are too reliant upon him because they don't seem to have the goal threat they did two years ago with Shevchenko and Crespo?
每个人都在谈论卡卡但是你是否认为他们过于依靠他了么,因为他们看起来没有两年前舍瓦+克雷斯波那么有进球威胁
They have different players but two years ago we conceded in the first minute and that broke the plan we had. They had space and Kaka played really well in the first half. We will try to make sure that doesn't happen again and do our plan the way we want.
他们拥有不同队员但是两年前我们承认在开始阶段他们打破了我们的计划,他们主导了比赛并且卡卡题得非常出色在上半场.我们将保证不会再次发生并且按照我们得方式进行比赛.
For the second half in Istanbul you changed tactics when Didi Hamann came on and you played a bit deeper. Do you think that's going to help you knowing now how to deal with Kaka?
在伊斯坦布尔的下半场当哈曼上场以后你们改变了战术,你的位置更向前了.你认为拿那次经历是否能够帮助你更加好的对付卡卡?
Yes. I think it's important not to let him have any space because that's when he plays very well and he is strong, quick and very gifted with the ball. If we don't allow him to play then we will have a lot of possibilities. We will have to be very compact in midfield and not give them a lot of space.
当然,我认为不让他有很多发挥的空间非常重要,因为那会让他发挥出威力,并且他很强壮,快速而且很有天赋.如果我们不允许他发挥那么我们将有非常大得可能性拿下比赛.我们将不得不在中场压缩防守,不给他太多发挥得空间
Are Milan as strong as they were two years ago?
这只米兰跟两年前一样强大么
To me they look really strong. They have a couple of different players but they haven't changed many things and they are still a very good team. Thinking about ourselves, I think we have improved as well and we have progressed in two seasons.
在我看来他们都十分强大,他们有着一些不同的队员但是他们在许多地方并没有变化,他们仍旧是一只强队.想想我们自己,我认为我们在这两年也进步了许多.
What do you like most about Milan?
你最喜欢米兰的什么?
I think they play as a team. They have experience and know what to do and have confidence in themselves. They are a really good team and have a good manager as well.
我认为他们表现得像一个团队,他们有经验并且知道怎么去做而且十分有信心,他们真得很出色并且教练也很不错.
They have a great balance in midfield and play a different game to Liverpool...
他们拥有一个平衡的中场并且同LIV进行不同的比赛.
Yes, they have a very powerful midfield with a lot of qualities. The playmaker is Pirlo in front of their defence and Kaka creates the chances. They have powerful players in Ambrosini and Gattuso who also do great defensive work. They have a really good and well balanced team but we have a good team as well and we will try to win.
是的,他们拥有强力并且高水平的中场.在他们防守前面的是指挥官是PIRLO并且卡卡可以创造机会.他们的安队和加图索是能做好防守任务的强力中场.他们的中场十分出色而且非常平衡但是我们也一样 我们尽全力争取胜利.
I think it's quite a level final and I can't see a clear favourite. You never know what is going to happen. I remember two years ago everybody was expecting a close final and there were a lot of goals scored so you never know what can happen.
我认为决赛将会非常出色你不会知道即将发生什么.我记得两年前每个人都盼望一个势均力敌的决赛并且比赛进了许多球,所以你永远不知道即将发生什么
So what is your plan for the game?
因此你们对比赛有什么计划?
Well that's why we have been preparing in Spain for the match! That's something we will have to keep to ourselves.
这就是我们为什么一直在西班牙准备备战,一些我们自己的东西必须要保持下去.
Because of what happened in 2005 this is being billed as a revenge final so that does put more pressure on you?
因为2005年发生的事情,决赛将是复仇之战,这是否对你很有压力.
No because I think that once you are playing in the final you can feel the pressure and you can handle it. It's like a revenge game for them but for us it's another final and a very good chance for us to lift another cup.
不,因为我想只要你在决赛中比赛,你就可以感受到压力并且你可以应对他.这对他们是复仇之战对我们只是另一场决赛并且是一个很好的机会去赢得另一座奖杯
What are your memories from that night?
你对那个晚上有什么记忆
It's going to be unforgettable for a lot of us. I think in the history of football you won't see many finals like that. Going in at half time 3-0 down and then to score three goals in six second half minutes was just unbelievable but that's the past now and we have to look to the future.
那有许多不能忘记的事情对于我们,我认为在足球历史中我们将不会看到这样的决赛许多次,上半场3比0落后不可思议的在下半场6分之内打入3球.但是这已经是过去的事情了我们会把注意力放在将来.
You do look to the future but you can't forget about what's happened...
你展望未来但是你不会忘记那些发生的事情.......
No I don't want to take that away as it's something we will keep in our memories forever. Right now, though, we are just thinking about May 23 and the final.
不, 我永远不想再经历我们记忆中的一些事情,因此现在,我们只是在想23号的决赛.
Have you been paying attention to the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson who has been saying he's ready to celebrate with a bottle of wine for Milan?
你是否注意了福格森他说他已经准备好了为米兰夺冠的庆祝酒
We'll see what happens. I'm not really bothered about what he will do, I'm more bothered about what we will be drinking when we hopefully win! We are just thinking about ourselves.
我们将会看到会发生什么,我并不为他做什么而苦恼,我更为我们赢得比赛以后喝什么而发愁.我只考虑我们自己.
Has the manager made it clear he doesn't fancy another penalty shoot-out this time?
教练是否说了他不喜欢再次面对点球大战?
[Laughs] We would love to go to penalties if it finishes in the same way! Of course those kind of finals are stressful but that's Liverpool. I remember watching the final against Alaves as well and that was quite an exciting game. If it finished that way again I would be happy to suffer the penalties again.
[笑]我们很喜欢进行点球如果再次面对的话.当然决赛这种比赛让人很有压力但是这是LIV,我回忆起以前看击败阿拉维斯的比赛,那十分令人激动.如果还是同样的结果我很乐意再次面对点球.
Joking apart, Liverpool are very good at winning games on penalties...
有意思的是,LIV在点球中总是取胜
We will practice as it's always important to be prepared. I remember in Istanbul Jerzy was a key player for us and now it could be Pepe. He practices in training and if we do reach penalties at the end in the final we will feel confident.
我们把他当成很重要的一部分去练习.我回忆起在伊斯坦布尔杜德克成了我们的关键先生,现在变成了佩佩(雷纳).他在训练中一直练习并且如果我们在决赛尾声面对点球 我们将变得很有信心
Athens will be very similar to Istanbul in terms of the weather...
雅典同伊斯坦布尔的天气很相似.
Yes, that is something that is very different from England. It's going to be warm, the humidity is going to be high and it will be late at night but that's why we have been to Spain to acclimatise a bit better.
是的,一些地方同英格兰不太一样.更加温暖一些.湿度将会变高并且会来得比较晚在夜里这就是为什么我们去西班牙适应的原因.
Do you have a snapshot in your mind from Istanbul and do you remember the fans and the part they played?
在伊斯坦布尔你的脑海中有什么记忆并且你对FANS有什么印象,觉得他们的作用.
I remember a lot of things. It was really special to go out onto the pitch for the second half and to hear the fans singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone' and that's when we felt we had the absolute support of the fans even though we were 3-0 down. It gave us a lift and it was a boost for the team and they played a really important role in that game. I'm pretty sure they will play another important role in Athens.
我想起来了许多事情,这确实是很特殊当下半场我们听到FANS再高唱"你永不会独行"并且这是让我们觉得即使在0比3落后他们也绝对得支持我们.歌声就是给我们的礼物并且这让我们斗志昂扬,同时他们扮演了一个非常重要的角色在比赛中.我相信他们将在雅典扮演另一个重要的角色.
We know there were a lot of Liverpool fans inside that stadium and there will be more than 17,000 in Athens won't there?
我们知道将会有许多LIV FANS进入体育场,大概会超过17000,是么?
I'm pretty sure of it because I remember in Istanbul half of the stadium were all Liverpool fans and in the Italian area there were a few Liverpool flags, so that's going to happen again. It's a shame what's happening with the tickets but there will be a big support for us.
我相信他们因为在伊斯坦布尔体育场的一半都是我们的球迷,并且在意大利的球迷地盘中还有一些LIV的旗帜.所以这将会再次发生,关于门票发放所发生的事情比赛管理者应感觉羞愧,但是这对我们则是巨大的支持.
It was a magical night in Istanbul but is it important to learn from what went wrong because to be 3-0 down at the break must have been mentally well as physically draining for you?
这是一个美妙的夜晚在伊斯坦布尔但是这对你来说通过0比3落后所犯得错误学到了什么?
It was a great night but the first 45 minutes weren't very great! That's why we can't allow them to score as quickly as they did and we can't afford to make big mistakes. That's something we are working on and we will try not to repeat that.
这确实是歌美妙的夜晚但是前45分钟糟糕透顶,那就是为什么我们不能让他们那么快得得分,并且我们不能再为如此巨大的失误埋单,那就是一些我们正在做的事并且我们尽全力不会让他再次发生.
Rafa's made the point several times about the size of the squad and the need to rotate but how disappointing was it for you to be left out of the team for the semi-final?
拉法许多次指出全队轮换的重要,但是你对你没有被安排在半决赛首发失望么?
As players we want to play in the big games and the second leg here at Anfield was a big game. It's normal to be disappointed when you are left out of the team but when you are on the bench you have to support your teammates and be ready for when you come on. That's what happened and I was ready.
作为队员我们想在重大比赛中表现并且在安菲尔德的第二回合是一场关键战役 ,当你没有被安排进首发失望是很正常的,但是你在替部席上你就应该全力支持对友并且时刻准备战斗,我已经准备好了即将发生的一切.
I want to play in the final, we all want to play in the final. The manager has a decision to make but we will all have a part to play.
