Italy’s De Rossi Hails Midfield Partnership With Pirlo; Plays Down Comparison To Totti (http://0rz.tw/GNxTx) The Roman icon was in fine touch in his nation’s convincing victory. Sep 9, 2009 10:45:12 PM Italy are just one point away from booking their ticket to defend their world crown in South Africa next year, following their 2-0 triumph over Bulgaria in Turin. (義大利距離明年世界盃僅僅一分之遙) One of the protagonists on the night for the Azzurri was Daniele De Rossi, a man who discussed his dominant partnership with the Milan star Andrea Pirlo at the conclusion of the match. (De Rossi是這個夜晚的主角之一，他和Pirlo的搭檔統治了中場) “[Marcello] Lippi always relies on who is in better shape at the time, and he does not look to who was in Berlin, as some people believe,” De Rossi stressed to Raisport. (Lippi總是依靠狀況好的選手，而不是看誰曾經去過柏林) (2006世界盃冠軍賽就是在柏林) “As for Pirlo and I, we can play very well together, and I have been saying this for years. (我跟Pirlo可以做的很好，我已經說過好多年了) “We just needed a little bit of time to learn how each other play, but now we are both very comfortable alongside one another. (我們只需要一點點時間去微調，但現在我們已經可以配合的很舒服了) “I am very confident with Pirlo, and I think we proved the strength of our partnership tonight.” (我對Pirlo很有信心，我相信今晚我們證明了我們的搭配很棒) The Roma star continued by focusing his attention towards the Giallorossi, and the recent rumours suggesting that he may be set to take over the captaincy from Francesco Totti, sooner than expected. (談到羅馬，De Rossi被認為將很快會接過Totti的隊長袖標) He added, “For me, the national team and playing for Roma are two completely different things, so it still hurts to know that we have zero points in the league at the moment. (對我而言，替國家隊跟羅馬踢球是兩件完全不同的事，聯賽二連敗很讓人受傷) “I am the favourite of the Roma fans now? Is there a ranking of popularity? I do not do any polls, nor have I seen any, I just play. (我是最受羅馬球迷喜愛的？有這種排名嗎？我沒做過也沒看過，我只是踢球) “I know that people love me, but never forget the great icon we have that is Totti. To create a contrast between the two of us would just be stupid.” (我知道人們喜愛我，但別忘了我們有個偉大的旗幟Totti，比較我們是毫無意義的) Adrian Del Monte, Goal.com -- 「大河の如き慈愛と太陽の如き威光をあまねく示さんがために！」 --
