繼上個賽季森德羅斯和法佈雷加斯的出色表現以後，另一名年輕的槍手希望今年能夠
脫穎而出。
年僅18歲的瑞安·史密斯從有可能威脅到他職業生涯的十字韌帶的傷勢中努力恢復過
來，在上個賽季代表阿森納打滿了3場聯賽杯比賽，並且希望在本賽季繼續披掛上陣。
這位出生在伊斯林頓的左邊衛接受阿森納官網採訪時說道：「我非常高興能夠參加聯
賽杯，如果我能再次參加那真是太好了。我希望今年能夠真正得脫穎而出，我想讓人
們知道我是誰。」
史密斯，於2003年在同羅瑟漢姆聯的聯賽杯比賽中首次亮相海布裡，那時他年僅16歲
，上個賽季從傷病中恢復以後為預備隊出場12次，進1球。
他在6月份曾隨英格蘭隊參加了在北愛爾蘭舉行的U-19歐冠杯，隨後還在青年足總杯中
亮相三次並打入一球。
史密斯幫助英格蘭殺進決賽，在小組賽的頭兩場比賽中首發出場，並且在決賽中替補
出場。回首這段往事，他覺得這次經歷對於他以後的發展是一個巨大的鼓舞。
史密斯說：「代表英格蘭19歲以下青年隊比賽是一次非常好的經歷。」
「國家隊的比賽和俱樂部的比賽存在很大的不同，你可以同歐洲所有最優秀的球隊同
場競技，因此你可以從中學到很多東西。」
以速度見長的史密斯表現出了超出年齡的成熟態度：「在足球這項運動中，不管你是
誰你都不能停止學習。」他補充說：「你必須不斷前進。」

Ryan Smith aims to shine By Mohsin Khan
Following the emergence of Philippe Senderos and Cesc Fabregas last
season, another young Gunner is hoping to make his mark this year.
Eighteen-year-old Ryan Smith battled back from a potentially
career-threatening cruciate ligament injury to play a role in all three
of Arsenal’s Carling Cup fixtures last term — a feat he hopes to
repeat this season.
The Islington-born left winger told Arsenal.com: "I’ve enjoyed playing
in the Carling Cup and it would be nice if I can play in that again. I
hope to really make an impact this year. I want people to know who I am.”
Smith, who made his full debut at just 16 against Rotherham at Highbury
in the Carling Cup in 2003, made 12 appearances for the Reserves last
season following his return to fitness, scoring once.
He also managed one goal in three appearances in the FA Youth Cup before
travelling with England to the European Under-19 Championships in
Northern Ireland in July.
Smith helped England progress to the Final, playing in the first two group
games before coming on as a substitute in the Final itself. Looking back,
he feels the tournament was a valuable stage in his development.
“Playing with the England Under-19s was a very good experience.”
said Smith.
“There is quite a difference between international football and club
football. You’re playing [against] all the best teams from Europe so
you can learn a lot.”
The fleet-footed Smith exhibits a rather more mature attitude than his
tender years may suggest. “No matter who you are in football you never
stop learning,” he concluded. “You’re always picking stuff up.”
