"卡希爾很強，他應該傷癒了，但我們也不弱，球隊實力決定場上的一切。" 'I think we have more quality than they do, so we have to use it,' he added. "我認為我們的素質更強，這是我們該好好發揮的。" Mikel has played a part in 14 of our games so far this season, having sat out three of our 19 fixtures with suspension. This tally represents six more than at the same point last season, suggesting the Nigerian has graduated from promising youngster to first team regular. 米克爾目前已出賽14場，超越去年的場數，他已經從潛力新星變為先發球員了。 He is confident that it is Everton's unbeaten record that will go at Stamford Bridge, rather than our own. 'Everyone knows Everton are a good team, and a difficult side to play against, but I feel all we have to do is keep playing well. The team is doing well, and we are playing as a team,' he said. "大家都知道埃佛頓很難纏，但我們應該繼續把球踢好，保持目前的銳利。" Mikel will come face-to-face with international colleague Aiyegbeni Yakubu this afternoon, and when asked about the ￡11.25 million forward's threat to Chelsea, his response was simple. 談到身價破千萬的同胞，米克爾的回答很簡單。 'I know him quite well, but they've got Yakubu and we've got Didi,' he smiled. "亞庫布很強，但我們有帝帝爾。" While many commentators have been quick to praise the attacking football on display, Mikel has also praised the way the team are defending in the absence of captain John Terry, suggesting that while he is missed, the skipper's injury has not damaged the team's progress too much. 當大家把目光放在前線時，米克爾讚美了球隊的後防，特別是在隊長缺席的情況下。 'I don't think so. Maybe we miss him as a player, he is injured, and we want everyone to be fit for the team, but we are doing fantastically well. Alex has been great, as has Riccy [Carvalho], and the team is defending well.' "隊長是傷了沒錯，但我們仍然踢出漂亮的足球，艾力克斯和里奇都很棒。" This, he says, is not down to the team doing anything differently. Speaking on the work of the midfield in providing a cover for the defence, he said: 當然，完好的後防少不了中場的保護。 'We are still doing the same things and the same jobs like we used to do. The defenders do their work and we do ours, and from what I've seen in the past few games, the defenders have been great, credit to them.' "我們所做的跟以前一樣，大家各司其職，但我必須讚美後防，他們太棒了。" Mikel is 20/1 to open the scoring this afternoon, and you can follow the game live on the Matchday Centre. 米克爾首先破門的賠率是1/20。 -- “沒有幾人能像他一樣在37歲就累計過百億的財富，沒有幾個人能像他一樣狡黠。” by 俄羅斯《真理報》記者謝爾蓋 --
