http://www.chelseafc.com/article.asp?hlid=315665 Essien ecstasy over World Cup Thursday, Oct 13, 2005 A wind of change has certainly swept through African football with four out of five qualifiers for the World Cup Finals from that continent heading there for the first time. While past regular participants such as Nigeria, Cameroon and South Africa will all be staying at home this summer, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Angola will be joining the party. Only Tunisia are old hands, having made it through to a third consecutive tournament. Michael Essien and Didier Drogba played a significant part in Ghana and Ivory Coast’s respective success and already back at Chelsea following last weekend’s final qualifying games, Essien has been speaking about breaking new ground. 接受卻爾西電視台的採訪，埃辛說： "我們非常開心，能進入世界盃決賽圈真的太棒了。看看以往的迦納隊，實力不凡，球員也很出色，但他們從未進入世界盃決賽圈，這真是不走運，而現在的新世代終於辦到了，這對我們的國家有益。" "總統的私人噴射機來維德島接我們，這真是太不可思議了，我們大概在凌晨一點左右降落，但仍然看到很多人來接機，整個國家充滿歡笑，總統還邀我們參加盛大的晚會。" Essien is the most high profile player amongst the new generation Ghanaians although captain Stephan Appiah and Sulley Ali Muntari are both playing in the Champions League with Fenerbahce and Udinese. Many of the squad turn out for small European clubs or have remained in Ghana, highlighting the accomplishment in going further than the country managed when it had past stars like rocket-shot Tony Yeboah and Champions League winner Abedi Pele. "我們同樣獲得了踢非洲國家盃的資格，這也很重要，因為我們上次無法參加。今年我們打進了這兩個賽事的決賽圈，這是個不錯的成績。世界盃的路不好走，但還是希望我們能有所作為。" Our record signing is one of 11 Chelsea players who this week were in squads successful in guaranteeing places at Germany 2006. by Paul Mason http://www.chelseafc.com/Images/ChelseaNOW/EssienGhana.jpg
