http://soccernet.espn.go.com/headlinenews?id=334898&cc=4716 Friday, June 3, 2005 Auxerre and Sedan seek Cup salvation PARIS, June 3 (Reuters) - AJ Auxerre and second division Sedan will attempt to salvage disappointing seasons when they meet in the French Cup final on Saturday. 本季聯賽成績都頗讓人鬱卒的歐塞爾和法乙色當，本週六將要力拼最後榮耀 Auxerre will start as strong favourites at the Stade de France as they seek to win the trophy for the fourth time in 12 years. 歐塞爾決意精銳盡出，力圖在法國盃登基 They need victory to secure a UEFA Cup place after finishing only eighth in the Ligue 1 standings. 因為他們在法甲名次頗鳥，所以必須靠著法國盃冠軍，來確保得以參加來年歐協盃 Sedan, Cup winners in 1956 and 1961 and runners-up six years ago, missed out on promotion to the top flight after finishing sixth in Ligue 2. 色當過往也有輝煌的成績，不過今年他們在法乙以第六名結束賽季 'We had a poor year,' said Sedan defender David Ducourtioux. 'Winning the Cup would be great for all our fans who are angry with us. Making it to the UEFA Cup would be the icing on the cake.' 色當後防大將 David Ducourtioux 則是希望藉著勝利告慰二次大戰英靈 不、、、是藉著勝利安撫球迷 Sedan knocked out Monaco and Strasbourg on their way to the final. 色當雖然在聯賽盃被摩納哥淘汰，但是在法國盃的準決賽報了一箭之仇 'We are going to approach the game like we play any other match. We eliminated Monaco and Strasbourg which means something and is good for morale,' striker Mickael Citony said. 色當前鋒 Mickael Citony 則說 「這跟其他比賽沒什麼兩樣，淘汰史爪堡以及對摩納哥復仇更是激勵我們的士氣！」 Sedan are happy with their status as underdogs. 色當對於媒體輿論一致看扁他們，覺得是蠻正常的 'They (Auxerre) are the favourites on paper. They play pretty well. And we will certainly be impressed before coming on to the pitch,' said defender Jeremy Henin. 「反正大家看好歐塞爾其來有自嘛，因為他們的確表現優異啊！」 色當的後衛 Jeremy Henin 說道 「不過我們也不差，週六絕對會讓他們印象深刻的！」 （編者附註：Henin 的法網女單決賽也請多加油、、、） 'We play football to experience games like this,' said striker Laurent Gagnier, who has scored six goals in the competition. 「平生不踢大決賽，足球選手也枉然。」此項賽事表現優異的前鋒 Laurent Gagnier 說 Auxerre may be without African strikers Benjani and Bonaventure Kalou who are on international duty, though the latter is planning to rush back from Ivory Coast's World Cup qualifier in Libya to take a place on the substitutes' bench. 歐塞爾也有隱憂 前線重要的攻擊手 Benjani 和 Bonaventure Kalou 受徵召要回去踢FIFA會外賽 Sedan will be at full strength and should be further boosted by the presence in the stands of their mascot Cesarine, a 140-kilo wild boar. 色當決定也徵召他們的吉祥物，野豬凱薩臨，去法蘭西球場加油助陣 -- 本篇文章或許有許多錯誤的地方... --
