http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/6207466.stm Essien vital to Blues - Desailly By Simon Austin Tuesday, 5 December 2006, 12:19 GMT Former Chelsea captain Marcel Desailly says Michael Essien could be the key to the Blues' Champions League hopes. Essien, 24, struggled to adapt after joining Chelsea from Lyon in 2005,but is now justifying his ￡24m price tag. 老队长德塞利认为埃辛是却尔西夺欧冠的关键。埃辛上赛季以2400万的价格来到却尔 西，但却明显的不适应。 "He has been one of Chelsea's best players this season despite not playing in his best position. He is powerful, intelligent and good technically - all the qualities you need to do well in the Champions League," Desailly told BBC Sport. 他是却尔西本季最棒的球员，尽管他不在他最适合的位置，但他的才能表露无疑。 "Essien wasn't yet a top player when he arrived. Lyon is a big club, but it's not Milan, Barcelona or Chelsea," he added. "But the quality was there and has come through. He's been fantastic." 里昂虽然是大俱乐部，但还不能跟其他豪门相比，虽然第一个赛季不太顺，但他的实 力仍在，现在他已经复活了。 Ghanaian Essien has mainly been used on the right side of a midfield diamond this season by Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho. Desailly, who was born in Ghana before moving to France as a child, believes Essien's best position is in the centre, but says he can still influence games from the wide position. 埃辛本赛季主打右中场，但同是迦纳出生的老队长认为中场中路才是他最好的位置， 不过就算在其他位置，埃辛还是能发挥他的影响力。 "When Chelsea scored their second goal against Barcelona at the Nou Camp (to draw 2-2 in October), it was Essien who was the inspiration," he said. "He used his power to get the ball, went forward with pace and then gave the right ball." 却尔西追平巴塞隆纳的第二球正是埃辛的杰作，他争到了球而且向前助攻传球。 World Cup winner Desailly, who spent six years at Stamford Bridge, also urged Chelsea fans to be patient with ￡30m striker Andriy Shevchenko. The Ukrainian has scored only five goals since moving to Stamford Bridge from AC Milan in the summer. 在却尔西待了六年的老队长，呼吁大家对身价3000万的舍夫琴柯有耐心点。 "The quality is clearly there because Shevchenko succeeded at a high level for so long with Milan," said Desailly, who made the same move from Milan to Chelsea in 1998. "And he is not the type of player who will be scared about the speed of the Premiership. 也曾待过米兰的德塞利认为舍瓦的实力不减，他不是那种会被英超节奏吓坏的球员。 "There are other players who have been afraid of the speed - you could see that Morientes and Crespo had a little bit of a problem there - but not Shevchenko. The quality of the player is so high that he will succeed. His time will come." 舍瓦肯定不会成为另一个莫伦特斯或克雷斯波，他会成功的。 Desailly said too much was expected of the 2004 European Footballer of the Year when he arrived in England. 大家对初来乍到的舍瓦期待实在太高太高了。 "People expected him to come in and score goals straight away, but I knew that wouldn't happen," Desailly said. "I made the same move and it was difficult to adjust at first. 人们都希望舍瓦一来就能疯狂进球，但这是不太可能的，毕竟适应有困难度。 "Every big club in Europe treats its players well, but Milan's organisation is something else. They really make you feel at home. 欧洲大俱乐部对待球员都不错，但米兰不太一样，他们更像一个家庭。 "And Italian and English people are very different. Italians are hot and you feel the passion more there than in England. Anglo-Saxon people are more distant. It's not that you are less friendly, just more reserved and distant." 义大利和英格兰也不一样，义大利人较热情，英国人则冷淡一点。 Desailly thinks Shevchenko's poor start to the season - he scored just one goal in his first eight games - affected his confidence. 舍瓦季初八场比赛只进了一球，老队长认为那的确影响了他的自信。 "The start of the season is always important for a new player and the luck didn't come for him," he said. "When the luck is not there you lose confidence and confidence is one of the most important things for a footballer. 季初对新球员来说是很重要的，当幸运之神不眷顾你之後，你就丧失了自信。 "Maybe he has been trying to do so well that he's been trying too hard in training and matches. He needs time. It's just a question of confidence and understanding how he plays and how he fits into the team a little more." 舍瓦可能非常非常的努力，但他需要时间找回自信和了解队友。 Desailly currently works for French television and is an ambassador for the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. He also supports an orphanage of 140 children in Ghana. 老队长目前在法国的电视台工作，也是 Laureus Sport for Good Foundation 的大 使，同时还赞助了迦纳的孤儿院。 -- Ｔｒｕｓｔ Ｎｏ １ 别 相 信 任 何 人 --
