Two of the Azzurri's four previous meetings in the competition are part of calcio folklore after winning the 1970 semi-final 4-3 and collecting a 3-1 victory in the 1982 Final. But the Roma sensation has urged everyone involved to forget about the past and concentrate on the present. “Italy-Germany is a different game from the rest,” he stated. “It's time to stop reading the papers, forget about the famous 4-3 and the Spain '82 Final. Totti說:「義大利對德國的比賽與其他的對戰組合不同, 不過是時候放下報紙,忘掉那場出名的4-3勝仗與1982年西班牙世界盃了。」 “They are games that left their mark and are in the minds of Italian fans. But we want to write a new chapter in Dortmund, make it as memorable as possible.” 「那些是在歷史上留名也讓義大利球迷牢記在心的比賽, 不過我們要在多特蒙德寫下新的篇章,讓它盡可能的值得懷念。」 Germany will start the final four clash as slight favourites even if the No 10 is remaining extremely optimistic. “Beating the hosts would be great even if very difficult,”he continued. “We have been handed a complicated assignment, but also a stimulating one. 「擊敗地主隊就太美好了,儘管會很困難, 我們被付予一項複雜的任務,但也會是激勵人心的一戰。」 “However, the Azzurri squad is determined, convinced, mentally prepared. Therefore, we are in the best possible shape to achieve our objective.” 「不過,義大利隊有決心、有信心,在心態上作足了準備, 所以我們正處在最佳狀態以達成這個目標。」 Some are already starting to speculate on an Italy-France Final which would hand the Azzurri an opportunity for revenge with regards to the Euro 2000 heartbreak. “We shouldn't start thinking about the Final already, I'm taking one game at a time,” warned the Roman. 談到義大利可能在決賽重現2000年歐錦賽決賽,有機會對法國展開復仇, Totti說:「我們不該在現在就開始想決賽的事,我打算一場一場來。」 “Our opponent is called Germany and our objective is to beat them. We'll think about the rest only after the game.” 「我們的對手是德國,我們的目標是擊敗他們, 我們只會想著這個,其他的就等賽後再說吧。」 -- 我們身體裡豢養的死亡一天天長大. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.167.187.187
