Hodgson - We're not underdogs
保級大師: 我們不是黑馬, 我們是冠軍熱門!!
England boss in optimistic mood ahead of quarter-final clash
英格蘭對冠軍信心十足
Roy Hodgson believes the positivity sweeping through the England camp
means they cannot be considered underdogs in their Euro 2012
quarter-final against Italy on Sunday.
保級大師表示淘汰意大利不是問題
The Azzurri are the ones with pedigree, boasting four World Cup final
wins in addition to a European Championship win and an additional seven
last-four finishes.
義大利過去成績輝煌
By contrast, England have only won a single major honour in their entire
history and are bidding to reach a fourth semi-final.
英格蘭歷史成績黯淡
Yet Hodgson feels there is no need for any inferiority complex inside the
Three Lions camp.
保級大師對三獅軍團有信心
"We're not underdogs in any way," he said.
我們不是黑馬
"We have good-quality players who are recognised worldwide and, certainly,
would get into a lot of the top European teams.
英格蘭球員的強, 全世界都知道
"Spain have had a few scares along the way and Italy have been stable in
their performances without actually tearing the tournament up.
西班牙跟義大利不弱
"It's been a fairly smooth process for us.
"Things were up in the air because our preparation time was so short and
we lost four senior players to injury in the build-up.
"But we've managed to put that to one side and now it's more a positive
feeling."
英格蘭無懼傷兵問題, 現在狀況大勇
England will head to Kiev knowing that they have never beaten a major
nation in the knockout phase of either a World Cup or a European Championship
away from Wembley.
英格蘭即將出征, 橫掃歐陸
Statistics
Hodgson has faced similar challenges during his club career, though, most
notably with West Brom.
And during his time at The Hawthorns he presided over the Baggies' first
win at Liverpool in 45 years, a victory at Stoke for the first time in three
decades, and a league finish ahead of Aston Villa, ending a 33-year hoodoo.
保級大師過去戰績不是太好
"All these negative statistics can only be put to bed when you get a
positive one," he said.
保級大師表示: 這些數據都不重要啦
"I came across it quite a lot at my time at West Bromwich. I got used to it.
"There's nothing anyone can say to make a difference.
"It's a minor form of history but it would be nice not to have that question
coming up again next time."
保級大師: 歷史紀錄不重要, 英格蘭贏定了!
