迪亞比說法國隊會從首戰平手困境走出來 他們必定有所改變 這位24歲的槍手中場被人拿來與前法國隊隊長Patrick Vieira 比較 迪亞比對於能與Vieira這樣的球員比較是非常榮幸的事 French central midfielder Abou Diaby insists that the team can still improve after their goalless draw against Uruguay in Group A on Friday. The 24-year-old was one of the better performers in Les Bleu's rather disappointing performance in Cape Town, as they struggled to create chances and gain any rhythm to win the game. Diaby has been compared to former-France captain Patrick Vieira and will be the natural successor to the Manchester City player in the national side. Rather than dismissing this claim, Diaby stated that it was an honour to be compared to someone like Patrick Vieira. "It's very flattering for me because Vieira is a great player," Diaby said. "He's someone who has achieved a lot in football and it's an honour to be compared to him." It was Diaby’s skill and ability to link up the play that contributed to the first half being dominated by France, while also helping out in defence with a series of crucial clearances. The Arsenal player believes the French can still improve and will be hoping he can maintain his first-team place after continual back problems. "It worked well defensively between the midfielders, but we have to improve on the attacking front," he said. "I made a lot of effort to come back, I did a specific muscle strengthening program, and this helped me to play a lot of games this season. "I persevered a lot, I had a lot of hard times and it wasn't easy for me. But that helped me to be a lot stronger mentally. "I had no doubts about choosing [Arsenal] I believed in myself and thought it would go well for me, and I think it pretty much has." http://0rz.tw/0AHdY --
