GERRARD TANK RUNNING ON EMPTY
-Steven Gerrard is worn out

STEVEN Gerrard has revealed he is completely burnt
out after an exhausting season which has only
just come to an end for the Liverpool skipper.
Gerrard confesses that he barely has any energy
left to see him through his big wedding day on
Saturday when he marries fiancee Alex Curran.
He admitted: 「I am looking forward to next season
with Liverpool but right now I need a long rest.
It's as simple as that.
隊長說他已經累到連結婚都沒力了。他現在需要放大假。
「Having just two-and-a-half weeks off after the
World Cup last summer wasn't enough. Then we went
into another hectic playing schedule, Liverpool
going all the way in the Champions League. It's
been a difficult season.
「I've got four weeks now to put my feet up, get
married, get that out of the way.
他現在有四個禮拜可以翹腳休息,把結婚這件事處理掉。
「I think we have just got an extra week off than
the non-internationals at Liverpool. I have to
make the most of that because it's going to be a
big season coming up.」
He might have just put pen to paper on a new £
120,000-a-week contract and helped England get
back on track in an international season of bile
and barbs but the Gerrard tank is completely
empty.
新的合約裡,他一週可以拿到120,000英鎊。英格蘭在
他的參與下也有了晉級的希望。不過他的電池已經沒電
了。
「It's nice to have the new contract signed and
sealed. In fact it's all great on the personal
front – until the wedding, that's when the real
pressure starts,」 he laughed.
他說結婚才是壓力的開始。
「No, I haven't even had time to write my wedding
speech yet!」
他說他連婚禮上要講的話都沒時間寫。
But once again against Estonia in Tallinn last
week he delivered another commanding midfield
performance which provided the foundation for
England's encouraging 3-0 win.
A traumatic season for head coach Steve McClaren
and his players at least ended on a promise of
better to come when the 2008 European
Championship qualifying stage comes to a head in
the autumn.
「We won in Tallinn in difficult circumstances,」
Gerrard added. 「It was the last game of the
season, everyone was tired and everyone was
looking forward to a rest.
「Results of late hadn't been good. There was a
lot of pressure on the team after the recent
criticism and so I thought the boys did well in
Estonia.
「Playing for England, never mind the results, is
always big. But if the results aren't what you
should be obtaining, then the pressure gets more
and more.
「Scoring a goal fairly early on against Estonia
took a lot of the pressure off. When that first
goal came you could feel the weight coming off
your shoulders.
「Sometimes the stuff levelled at the team is over
the top but as players we have to take that on
the chin. We are playing for our country. We are
the best players in the country so we expect a
lot of pressure but sometimes it's difficult to
perform when the pressure is so high.
「I think we have done well in the last two games
against Brazil and Estonia. We need to build on
that now.
賣客拉倫時代的英格蘭隊踢有夠爛,不過最近有止血
的跡象。隊長說大家求表現壓力很大,不過這幾場踢
的還算不錯,所以大家要繼續加油。
「I think there is still more to come from this
team. I think we can get better but at least the
last two performances have been better than the
previous ones. The other results in the group on
Wednesday night went our way so we are in a nice
position.
「We have got four of our remaining five games at
home so the players are confident that we can
build on this.」
The Wembley factor, he believes, could prove
crucial when the two qualifying places from the
group are finally sorted.
接下來五場有四場在主場溫不理,隊長認為英格蘭只會
踢的更好。
「Our last game at the new Wembley against Brazil
has set a standard. If we can build on that and
keep on performing, try to make Wembley a bit of
a fortress, then we know that we can get the
results we need to qualify.」
像對巴西那場一樣鞏固主場,就可以晉級。
But right now it's a case of Gerrard putting his
feet up – if that's really possible with the big
day looming!
要結婚了,可以翹腳才有鬼咧!
