永伯呼籲槍手們在歐冠能找到攻守間的平衡。
Ljungberg urges Arsenal to find balance
By Jason Burt

Arsenal did little to quell the perennial debate as to whether or
not they will succeed in Europe following their disappointing draw
with Rosenborg on Wednesday night. But in their reaction yesterday
to the Champions' League tie there was perhaps an acknowledgement
that they should not try to be what they are not.
"Maybe we should have gone for another goal," said their midfielder
Freddie Ljungberg, whose scrambled sixth-minute effort had put the
Premiership champions in front. "It is something to think about,
not to stop playing when we take the lead."
Curbing their killer instinct is something of which Arsenal were
also perhaps guilty in the first group game, at home to PSV Eindhoven,
although they held out reasonably comfortably for the 1-0 victory
which, together with Wednesday's point, means they top Group E.
Despite that, and the fact that last year they were fretting at the
bottom of their group with just a single point from three matches,
there are nagging doubts. "We gave them the initiative," Ljungberg
said of the encounter with a limited Norwegian side whose main asset
consisted of long balls forward to a tall striker. "We were not first
to the ball. That is the way it was. I am not blaming anything like
bad luck or something like that. Unfortunately, we stopped playing
attacking football after they scored. We just kept the ball."
Ljungberg acknowledged that Arsenal need to find a balance. Attacking
football has also cost them dearly in the past. "Of course we can
concede a goal doing that, but we are giving it a go," he said. "We
are an attacking side. We want to enjoy our football. It is the way
we play. Unfortunately, we let Rosenborg into the game. We did not
kill them off."
Arsenal are desperate to win the European Cup and banish the nagging
doubts over their status. "We have been playing a long time in the
Champions' League," Ljungberg added. "It is important for us and
everyone at the club."
Another player who has undertaken several campaigns is Thierry Henry,
who drew more encouragement. "I remember the days when we used to
go away in the Champions' League and forever we would not create any
chances at all," he said. "One-all away is never a bad result. But
the way we didn't play was a bit frustrating." Especially as Arsenal
next have to visit Panathinaikos, against whom they lost just two
years ago.
其實週三晚上對羅森堡，雖然溫格把雷耶斯跟皮里斯位置對調，亨利打Bergy的位置，
甚至到最後二十分鐘變成皮里斯打右翼永伯變搶點前鋒，其實在對手禁區裡的機會
真的是不少，甚至有幾個是tap-in的進球機會。表示其實這種變陣還是很有效，
就是亨利雷耶斯與永伯好像在門前搶點與射門的判斷都變得失靈了。這種在禁區裡
的機會是以前看槍手在歐冠表現裡所看不到的，大家應該都記得以前可以壓這對手
半場打，但是對手球門前一點險情都沒有的場面，表示槍手在對手禁區附近的機會
已經比前兩季改善不少。現在就是希望大家能把握住進球機會, kill the games off
by scoring the second goal。

coins in and get out a bar of chocolate, it is not like that.
It is a hard effort and what we can do is try our best and
keep a desire to improve."
