BBC News:http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/7261153.stm （僅節譯部分內文） Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his initial comments that Birmingham captain Martin Taylor "should never play football again" were "excessive". 溫格說他昨天一開始批評Martin Taylor「應永遠退出足壇」一詞太超過。 Wenger claimed the third-minute tackle which broke Eduardo's leg and earned Taylor a red card was "horrendous". 但他形容Taylor對Eduardo的犯規是「可怕」的。 "It was a highly emotional afternoon and we were all shocked by the injury." 溫格說:「昨天是個激動的下午，我們都被那個傷勢給嚇到了。」 Birmingham manager Alex McLeish sprang to the defence of Taylor. "Martin's not a dirty player. He's distraught over Eduardo's injury," he said. Birmingham主教練Alex McLeish則為自己的球員辯護： 「Martin不是個骯髒的球員。對於Eduardo的傷勢他也感到非常沮喪懊惱。」 "I've seen the challenge and, yes, the studs land on Eduardo's ankle. In slow motion these tackles always look bad but he's not a malicious player - Eduardo was just too quick for him," he explained. 我看到了那個犯規。沒錯，鞋釘是踩到了Eduardo的腳踝。而且雖然從慢鏡看這種剷球 總是很糟糕，但Taylor不是惡意的，只是Eduardo的動作實在太快了才會造成這種結果。 Wigan boss Steve Bruce, who signed Taylor from Blackburn when he was Blues boss in February 2004, said his former player would never intentionally hurt anyone. 之前將Taylor從Blackburn簽到Birmingham的Steve Bruce 也跳出來為自己的前子弟兵講話。 "Martin Taylor is the biggest, gentlest man," said Bruce. "There will be nobody more upset and sickened than him, there is not a bad bone in his body. Martin Taylor是最溫和的人。現在不會有任何人比他（對此犯規）感到更沮喪難過。 他完全沒有任何惡意。 "He would never, ever do anything malicious. He has mis-timed the tackle, and I've seen it. Some would say it is not even a yellow card." 他從不會作任何惡意的動作，那個剷斷是他算錯了時間。 有些人還認為那個動作甚至不值得一張黃牌。 --- 是說... 護航會不會護得太過頭了點 不管你惡不惡意，有人球員生涯受到嚴重威脅及考驗可是事實耶 幫腔也要個分寸嘛 --
