Deco hopes England still below par against Portugal MARIENFELD, Germany, June 27 (Reuters) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portugal's creative midfielder Deco, suspended for Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against England, said on Tuesday he hoped the opposition would continue their below-par performances. "Sometimes I think people in England ask too much of the national team," Deco told a news conference. "The only thing I hope is at this match they are not at their best." 要被禁赛的Deco说， 「有时候我认为，英格兰的人们对於国家队要求得太多。 我只希望在这场比赛，他们没能发挥到最佳水平。」 Sven-Goran Eriksson's men have failed to live up to expectations so far, and need to up the ante if they are to overcome Portugal who showed a new fighting spirit in their hard-fought win over the Netherlands in the second round. Playmaker Deco, one of four players sent off in that 1-0 win, laughed when asked if he would pay money to see an England team who were accused of boring Ecuador into submission in their 1-0 knockout game. "Even though they are not performing the best they can with their big players, the results show they are doing a good job," he said. "Yes, I would pay to see England, but I would prefer to see Portugal." 当被问到是否愿意花钱去看英格兰的比赛时， Deco笑说：「即使他们并没有表现出最佳水平，但是结果仍然显示他们做得不错。 是的我愿意花钱看英格兰的比赛，但我更愿意选择看葡萄牙的。」 STILL YOUNG However, Deco stopped short of comparing England striker Wayne Rooney to Brazilian World Cup winner Pele. "No-one can be compared to Pele," he said. "Rooney is a youngster with a lot of talent but to compare him with Pele is a lot. He has quality, he scores goals, but he is still young and still has many things to do in football." Deco不认为英格兰的前锋Wayne Rooney能够和Pele做比较， 「没有人能够和Pele比较。 Rooney是一名充满天份的年轻球员， 他有很好的水平、进很多球，但是他还太年轻，在足球上还有很多事情要做。」 Deco was sent off for a second yellow card in Sunday's brutal 1-0 win over the Dutch, and although the Portuguese Football Federation threatened to appeal the decision, the card and the suspension stand. That leaves Portugal, who also had midfield hardman Costinha dismissed, weakened in midfield. But Luiz Felipe Scolari's side have been without Deco and Costinha before, in their final Group D game against Mexico in which they also left Cristiano Ronaldo, Pauleta and Nuno Valente on the bench. They beat the Mexicans 2-1 in what was possibly their best display of football in the tournament so far. "We have players with a lot of quality, as we proved in the game against Mexico where the substitutes played wonderfully. Whoever plays in our place will do the same job," Deco said. "Without doubt I wanted to play (against England). It's sad to be out of this game but more important now is that the players who replace me and Costinha train well and have a good game so that Portugal progress to the semi-finals," he added. 「我们有很多不错的球员， 在之前和墨西哥的比赛就证明，我们的替补仍然表现出色。 当然毫无疑问地我想(在和英格兰的比赛中)上场， 虽然要缺席这场比赛，会觉得很哀伤， 不过现在最重要的是，取代我和Costinha的队友能有一场好比赛让葡萄牙进军四强。」 我很随意地翻，大家就随意地看看吧 XD -- ＋ ︵╭ │ ╮︵ 〈 │ │ │ ） ●_●_●_●_● ───── ！ＨＡＬＡ　ＭＡＤＲＩＤ！ --
