By Ian Winrow Monday, February 08, 2010 A SCORELESS stalemate may have done little to clarify the narrowing margins between the clutch of club with top four aspirations, but it spoke volumes about the strengths of Aston Villa and specifically the importance of Richard Dunne and Brad Friedel to their ambitions. 一場和局也許不夠讓人搞清楚誰才會拿到第四的席位, 不過它可以說明維拉隊的能力, 以及Dunne和Friedel的抱負有多重要 Villa’s ability to frustrate teams is emerging as their greatest asset and an outstandingly frugal run during which they have conceded just one goal in their last nine league games has provided the platform for their continuing challenge for a Champions League place. 維拉可以讓其他球隊沮喪而歸(指沒進球)已經突然變成他們最大的才能, 他們在過去的九場聯盟比賽只讓對手踢進可憐的一球(註: 查過記錄應該是十場只有兩場掉球), 而這種表現已經是一個他們足夠挑戰歐冠資格的利器 Their defensive abilities were showcased at White Hart Lane with Dunne to the fore, meeting every Tottenham threat with a bruising response while Friedel, at 38, remains one the Premier League’s most impressive goalkeepers. 他們的防守能力在白鹿巷之戰以Dunne為首他面對熱刺的威脅以打斷牙和血吞的鬥志面對, 以及38歲高齡的Friedel, 他現在仍然是英超最令人難忘的門將之一 Villa’s attacking threat was painfully limited, but they were facing the team holding the whip hand in the race to break open the established order at the head of the Premier League, as Spurs side who have been consistently effective in front of goal this season. 維拉的進攻能力被限制得很慘, 不過他們面對的是一支想要極力打破排名僵局, 一支今年一直在進球很有效率的熱刺 And the visitors’s success in nullifying that threat suggested they are unlikely to crumble and fade away when the pressure intensifies towards the end of the season. 而造訪者成功的將那些威脅化為烏有, 代表著他們面對季末越來越大的壓力, 不是那麼容易崩垮與消逝的 Liverpool’s victory over Everton and Manchester City’s unexpected defeat at Hull meant that the gang of four contesting fourth place concertina-ed, with the Merseysiders now one point ahead of Spurs and three points ahead of Villa who sit in seventh having played a game less. 利物浦戰勝人民以及曼城搞笑輸給虎虎虎代表爭取前四的競爭進入高潮, 利記現在比熱刺多了一分積分, 而比佔據第七位少賽一場的維拉多了三分 The eventual outcome of that mini-league could be decided by who makes the fewest mistakes, and at the moment Villa’s defensive solidity is presenting a good case for Martin O’Neill’s side. 這個小集團最後的結果, 可能在其中幾隊犯了小錯就可以決定, 而現在維拉隊的防守穩定性是馬丁奧尼爾的球隊的一個利多 The Villa manager is in no doubt about the value of Dunne’s contribution and the player himself will take additional pleasure if his new team succeeds at the expense of City, his former team. 維拉老大對於Dunne的貢獻沒有任何一絲懷疑, 而球員本身如果讓自己的新球隊勝過他的曼城(他的舊球隊)而成功, 他會更爽 "Dunne was absolutely brilliant," said O’Neill. "He is very, very brave and when he is going to head it you just get out of the way. That said, there were plenty of battles there when we had to deal with Peter Crouch. "當毫無疑問是超級棒的"馬奧說:"他非常, 非常的勇敢, 而當他要去搶點的時候, 你只有閃邊的份, 這場比賽他要料理高佬的時候, 有很多激烈的爭奪" "He is a real proper threat. He is a quality player. Not only is he good in the air but as we all know he can manoeuvre the ball on the ground. "高佬很有威脅, 他是個夠格得球員, 他不只高空有威力, 地上的球也可以處理得很好" "Jermain Defoe is a wonderful finisher, so from that point of view for us to keep a clean sheet was particularly pleasing." "特務是個很棒的進球者, 從這些角度, 我們讓對手掛蛋是個很值得高興的事" Dunne made no attempt to disguise his disappointment at being told he was surplus to requirements by former City manager Mark Hughes last summer but the move has undoubtedly invigorated him. 當從來不掩飾當他被馬克休斯告知他是球隊的冗員他有多失望, 去年夏天這個變卦無疑激勵了他 "First of all I was delighted to get him," added O’Neill, who headed off interest from Spurs to sign the player. "We got him on transfer deadline day although we were hoping the agreement would have gone through maybe a day or two before. "第一我非常高興有他"去年從一樣對當有興趣的熱刺把他拐來馬奧說:"我們在交易期限搞到他, 雖然我們本來以為前一兩天就可以敲定了" "Richard had a real fine career at Manchester City and I don’t think you can be at a football club for nine years and not have real affection for it. Maybe we were lucky to get him. If Manchester City had really wanted to keep him maybe he might have wanted to stay. "里查在曼城有非常好的生涯, 我不認為你不可能在一個俱樂部待那麼久而沒感情歐。也許我們得到他是個好運氣, 如果城城真的想要他, 我看我們是無望啦" "What I do know is whatever way it fell for us, luck was on our side and I am just delighted we got him." The draw inevitably registered as a moral victory for the visitors with Spurs unable to escape the fact that this felt like two points lost after dominating the game. "我知道的是, 不管是發生啥事, 最後爽的是我們"這場比賽無可避免的是造訪者的勝利因為熱次沒辦法擺脫他們該贏而平局是掉兩分的想法 Friedel’s saves, one in particular from Ledley King was outstanding, and the courageous blocks of Dunne and central defensive partner James Collins kept them at bay although Dunne conceded Villa enjoyed a slice of luck when a Spurs penalty appeal was turned down. Stiliyan Petrov appeared to trip Defoe and Dunne admitted: "It looked like a penalty but we got the decision." Friedel救的球, 尤其是擋住King那球尤其出色, 而Dunne的阻擋和Collins把他門隔絕在外, 雖然當事後承認特務那球沒被判點球有點好運, Petrov看起來有絆到特務 Spurs manager Harry Redknapp showed few signs of disappointment, though, knowing that the midweek round of matches that pitch Villa against Manchester United and take Spurs to Wolves could trigger further changes in the table. 阿舅顯示出了幾次失望的感覺, 不過他知道週中的比賽維拉要對曼連, 而熱刺對狼隊將又會讓排名有些變動 "We’re right in it, it’s good to be in that position at this time of the year.," he said. "We’re in the Cup, we’re still pushing fourth place. I think we’re 18 points better off than we were last year. It’s good, we play great and I enjoy the way we play." "我們還在競爭啊, 在一年的比賽現在還有這樣的位置是好的"阿舅說:"我們盃賽還沒淘汰, 我們還在搶前四, 我們比去年同時還要好了18分, 這是很爽的, 我們踢得很好而且我看我們踢球很享受" -- A.V.F.C #11 █ ◢▇▼▇? █ █ ◢ ◆ ▆▃ █ ★● █ ★ '▇_ ˊ ▲ █ ◎ 邦> █ ▅ ◥ ◣ █ ︱ █ ▂▃ ▇ ▁ ／ ▲ █ \\ █ 入 ▄ ▆▇ ▆▲ ◣ █ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 128.248.224.110 ※ 編輯: awano 來自: 128.248.224.110 (02/09 10:23)
