Fergie: Our fans were fantastic for George
30/11/05 10:07 PM
Reds Go Through On A Fitting Night For George
真可惜沒能看到這場比賽的轉播，
在賽前許多Best的老隊友來到場上，和兩隊球員在中線處面對面
由Sir Bobby Charlton代表致詞後，
Sir Alex和高徒Bryan Robson在一個上面寫著：
“George, simply the Best“的banner上獻上花圈
然後是一分鐘的默哀
每個人手裡都拿著Best年輕臉龐正微笑的海報 老特拉福鴉雀無聲
一分鐘過後的比賽裡紅魔們將勝利獻給Best在天之靈
球迷則大聲唱著Best的歌 你才是今天的主角

令每個曼聯球迷動容，我們的球隊如此龐大，歷史如此悠久
而大家還能如此緊緊結合在一起，彌足珍貴)
Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with United fans and players alike
after seeing his team beat West Brom 3-1 in front of an emotional crowd
at Old Trafford.
Although the win was important - sending the Reds through to the
last eight of the Carling Cup - the night really belonged to George Best,
who passed away only five days ago.
The United legend was remembered in song, in silence and in the
holding aloft of tribute posters all around the ground.
And Fergie felt it was "very fitting" that Ronaldo,
wearing Best's old number, should score the first goal.
Here is a transcript of Sir Alex's post-match interview on MUTV:
Tribute To George Best
"It was fantastic. Our fans paid the most fitting tribute
they could possibly have done and the club organised it in a special way.
Throughout the night the fans were fantastic.
I was so mindful of the occasion, I really wanted to win.
That’s why I played a strong team, I knew West Brom were going to
play a strong team, and I was going to make sure we were going through
to the next round."
Sir Alex表示因為他太在意這場是要獻給Best的比賽，
因為怕年輕球員在滿場球迷情緒激動的氣氛下不能正常表現，
所以派了很多主力球員先發，一定要打場精彩的勝利。
Great Moments Of Football
"Two of the goals were fantastically well made - Louis Saha’s goal
and John O’Shea’s goal – with terrific football. There were some
great moments of football from us tonight. Not all the time because
West Brom played their part and they had a lot of possession at times.
They’re a very experienced side and they have been playing well
over the last few weeks. I knew it would be a tough game."
Good Night For Saha
"We know he’s a fantastic striker. What we hope and pray now is that
he stays clear of injuries. What an addition he’ll be to our squad.
He’ll play against Everton (when Ruud’s suspended).
He was terrific tonight, I was really pleased."
「大家都知道Saha是個很棒的前鋒，現在我們只能希望並且祈禱他不要再受傷了。
他能為我們球隊進攻增加很多質量。對Everton時Saha將會頂替被禁賽的Ruud先發。
他今晚表現的很出色，我非常滿意」
Youngsters Play Their Part
"Giuseppe Rossi had a full ninety minutes. We know we’ve got
a young player there with great potential. I was pleased to get Pique on.
I really would have preferred to have started him
but I think it was an occasion when we needed as much experience
as we could get. Bardsley and Jones also came on and played their part,
I’m really pleased with that."
Cardiff Here We Come?
"We got to the semi-final last year and I thought we were unlucky
on that occasion. Who knows, we may be luckier this time."
Further Tributes To George 星期六還要向Best致敬
"It’s going to be a great occasion on Saturday (Portsmouth match)
because the fans are going to applaud.
I don’t think you’ll hear an applause like it anywhere in the world."
週六主場對Portsmouth將是個很棒的時刻，因為週三默哀過的球迷們將要
鼓掌感謝Best對足球的付出。老特拉福將迴盪著舉世絕無僅有的熱烈掌聲。
