Hodgson - We're not underdogs
保级大师: 我们不是黑马, 我们是冠军热门!!
England boss in optimistic mood ahead of quarter-final clash
英格兰对冠军信心十足
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.
保级大师表示淘汰意大利不是问题
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.
意大利过去成绩辉煌
By contrast, England have only won a single major honour in their entire
history and are bidding to reach a fourth semi-final.
英格兰历史成绩黯淡
Yet Hodgson feels there is no need for any inferiority complex inside the
Three Lions camp.
保级大师对三狮军团有信心
"We're not underdogs in any way," he said.
我们不是黑马
"We have good-quality players who are recognised worldwide and, certainly,
would get into a lot of the top European teams.
英格兰球员的强, 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.
西班牙跟意大利不弱
"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."
英格兰无惧伤兵问题, 现在状况大勇
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.
英格兰即将出征, 横扫欧陆
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.
保级大师过去战绩不是太好
"All these negative statistics can only be put to bed when you get a
positive one," he said.
保级大师表示: 这些数据都不重要啦
"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."
