http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/pires-the-fans-did-not-forget-me Robert Pires was “touched and moved” by the ovation he received at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening. 周三晚间酋长球场热烈的掌声打动了老皮。 The Frenchman was part of a Villarreal side well-beaten by Arsenal on the night but the Champions League tie also served as the “goodbye” the midfielder craved after ending a stellar six-year spell in north London in 2006. 法国人曾经是那个晚上击败潜水艇的一员，但同样是那年的冠军联赛，让这名中场告别了 效力六年的枪手。 He was cheered as he warmed up and, when walking off the pitch afterwards, Pires’ name rang around the stadium. It was clearly appreciated by former Gunner Pires. 老皮热身时受到球迷欢呼，当他走入球场时Pires之名响彻云霄，毫无疑问的这是出於球迷 对这名老枪手的感谢与爱。 “Personally, I wasn’t expecting such a warm and an amazing welcome from the Arsenal fans,” he said afterwards. 老皮说:我压根没想到会得到枪迷如此热烈和惊人的欢迎。 “It shows how great the Arsenal fans are and that they don’t forget their former players. I was really touched and moved by their ovation and the fact that they were singing my name.” 这展现枪手球迷的伟大，他们不会遗忘为阿森纳卖命过的球员。当他们歌颂我的名字时， 我深深的被感动了。 Pires had a decent first-half chance to level the match on the night - and the tie overall - but his shot deflected wide. However the 35-year-old believes Villarreal missed their opportunity last week in Spain. 上半场老皮有一个不错的机会能把比赛拉回原点，追平比分，可惜这脚射门偏离了球门。 然而这名35岁老将认为潜水艇主要是在上周主场比赛错失了机会。 And, despite the domination of English side, he says threat of the remaining La Liga side will be serious. 尽管英超具有强势的地位，老皮说西甲仍然具有其大的威胁性。 “We have some regrets from the first leg where we could have scored more goals and made a bigger difference,” said Pires. 在首回合的比赛中有些遗憾，我们本可以打进第二粒入球，确立更大的优势。 “That’s where we missed the chance to go through. But tonight, Arsenal was too strong for us. Physically, we responded – something we didn’t do in the first leg - but they managed to score more than us. 那使我们失去了部分晋级的机会。但是今晚，枪手太过强大。我们没有像第一回合比赛 那般，但是他们渴望比我们进更多球。 “We have been saying for years now that the English League is the best in the world. They have their way of doing things and they always have [strong] results. 几年来我们一直说到英超是世界第一联赛，他们有他独到的方式，并总是取得优异的成果 。 “England always have the same clubs in the last four of the Champions League which shows that the way they are playing football is, for me, the best but they should watch out for Barcelona. 英超总是有四支实力接近的球队在欧冠周厮杀，对我来说，他们踢的是最出色的足球， 但是他们必须小心巴萨。 “They are the only ones left that will try to break the English domination.” 他们是仅存一支试图打破英超垄断局面的球队。 [Thursday, April 16, 2009] 2009年 4月16日 星期四 --
