Hi,大家好
在一場失利之後再寫下這篇文章不是一件容易的事情。顯然,你們可能會面臨著被悲觀主義沖昏頭腦的危險,但過往,我的經驗告訴我,我們需要更多的時間,從更加寬廣的角度來分析一些事情。輸了比賽對於你我來說自然都是痛苦的,這一點是肯定的。但現在對著國際比賽日的來臨,我覺得我們也有一段很好的緩衝期來思考這整件事情和我們所看到的東西——這其中包括我們做的好的一方面,以及球隊需要繼續改善的東西。
事實上,回到史丹福橋,我們在場上的表現和預期的都不太一樣,這顯然是一場艱難且激烈的比賽,切爾西把握住了自己得到的機會成功拿到了三分。競技體育是殘酷的,你必須接受這樣的失利,但我們唯一能做的就是繼續向他們學習,並在下一場比賽中試圖努力改進自己的表現。這是我們要做的,我們還有很多比賽要踢,所以說讓我們繼續努力下去吧。
從某種意義上來說,我們也都不能忘記此前周二在老特拉福德對陣本菲卡的比賽的勝利,這使得我們更加接近於歐冠之後下一階段的比賽。四場比賽,四場勝利,這並不是一個尋常的紀錄,我們需要給此正確的價值觀,同時我們需要時刻保持警惕。我們現在依舊需要再拿一分,我們的目標無疑是以小組第一的身份晉級到下一個階段的比賽中去。
在西甲賽場,巴薩依舊保持著他們不可阻擋的勢頭,並繼續霸佔著聯賽榜首的位置。在一場對陣塞維利亞的艱難比賽中巴薩拿到了3分。現在的巴薩贏下每一場比賽都像是例行公事一樣,瓦倫西亞同樣非常強大,現在看來他們擁有一個非常可靠的團隊,球迷們和球員們緊密地團結在一起,我為此感到非常高興。皇馬擊敗了拉斯帕爾馬斯,繼續保持著和積分榜前2名的差距,而西甲的另外一個關鍵熱門球隊馬競,在里亞索球場最後時刻完成了進球。
我想要提醒你們的是,你們依舊可以前往我的圖片展,觀看我在孟買拍攝的一系列照片,這個展覽將曼徹斯特國家足球博物館開放,到本周四結束。我相信你們也都知道,我們參觀了奧斯卡基金會的一個項目,那也是共同計劃的一部分,通過這一次的展覽,我們試圖展示他們所做出的偉大工作。
祝你們都能度過愉快的一周,抱抱
胡安
Ps:祝賀我的同胞,納達爾,他已經鎖定了今年的ATP年終世界排名第一的寶座,關於他的褒獎之詞我永遠不會吝嗇,當然他可貴的體育精神也值得我們學習,我覺得在很多方面納達爾都是我們的楷模。
LET』S CARRY ON WITHOUT LOSING PERSPECTIVE
Hi everyone,
It』s not easy to write after a defeat. Obviously, there』s a risk that you get carried away by pessimism. But my experience tells me that you must allow some time to analyse things with more perspective. It hurts to lose, that』s for sure. Both you and us. But now there』s an international break coming and it』s a good time to recap and to see the things that we』re doing well and the things that we can improve.
Indeed, the return to Stamford Bridge didn』t work out as we expected. It was a tough and intense game where Chelsea were able to take their chances to get the three points. In sports you have to accept the defeats, but with the only goal of learning from them and trying to improve in the next game. That』s what we』re going to do. There』s still a lot to play for, so let』s carry on.
In this sense, I think that we shouldn』t forget our victory against Benfica at Old Trafford on Tuesday that took us really close to the next stage of the Champions League. Four wins out of four games are an extraordinary record; we must give value to that, and yet remain vigilant. We still need at least one more point, and our goal, of course, is to finish on top of the group.
In Spain, Barcelona keeps their unstoppable streak on top of the table. They managed to get the three points in a difficult game against Sevilla. It seems they are in that moment when you just win every single game as a routine. Valencia are very strong too; right now they are a very reliable squad and the crowd is absolutely engaged with the team again, I』m so happy for that. Real Madrid defeated Las Palmas to keep the distance with the top two teams. And another candidate to the title is Atletico, who won with a late goal in Riazor.
I』d like to remind you that you can still visit the exhibition with some of the pictures we took in Mumbai, India. It』s open until this coming Thursday in the National Football Museum in Manchester. As I』m sure you know, we visited one of the projects of the OSCAR Foundation that are part of Common Goal, and through this exhibition we try to show the great job they』re doing.
Have a nice week. Hugs,
Juan
PS: Congratulations to my fellow countryman Rafa Nadal for securing the number 1 in ATP』s ranking at the end of this year. I will never get tired of praising his commendable spirit. He is a reference to all of us in many aspects.
