BBC:喀麥隆主教練極力挽回球隊(duì)名譽(yù)
Coach Volker Finke has called for Cameroon to show their best side against Brazil on Monday so they can leave the World Cup on a high.
據(jù)英國廣播公司報(bào)道,在23日對陣巴西的比賽前,主教練沃克爾-芬克(Volker?Finke)呼吁喀麥隆隊(duì)發(fā)揮最好的狀態(tài),從而能夠昂首挺胸地離開世界杯賽場。
Cameroon cannot qualify for the next stage after a shambolic campaign of two defeats, a red card for Alex Song and fighting between team-mates.
經(jīng)過兩場失利,球員亞歷山大·宋(Alex?Song)的一張紅牌以及球隊(duì)的內(nèi)訌后,喀麥隆沒能晉級16強(qiáng)。
"Nobody wants to leave the country with a bad impression," Finke said."We need to show a different face to save our reputation - of the team, the players and of Cameroonian football."
“沒人想在離開的時(shí)候留下壞印象,”芬克說道?!拔覀冃枰D(zhuǎn)變姿態(tài)挽回球隊(duì)、球員和喀麥隆足球的名譽(yù)?!?/p>
After being beaten 1-0 by Mexicoin their opening match, Cameroon self-destructed against Croatia. They were a goal down when Song was sent off for elbowing Croatia striker Mario Mandzukic and capitulated to a 4-0 defeat.
繼在世界杯首場比賽中被墨西哥1-0擊敗后,與克羅地亞的比賽中,喀麥隆又自食其果。在落后一球的情況下,宋因?yàn)橹鈸魧Ψ角颁h曼祖基奇(Mario?Mandzukic)而被紅牌罰下,最終喀麥隆0-4慘敗給對手。
The heavy loss would have been bad enough but was made worse by the ugly sight of Cameroon defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto headbutting team-mate Benjamin Moukandjo.
這還不算最糟,喀麥隆后衛(wèi)阿蘇-埃科托(Benoit?Assou-Ekotto)和隊(duì)友本杰明·穆坎德約(Benjamin?Moukandjo)的沖突,使原本失利的情況變得更糟。
"I think everyone has seen behaviour that is unacceptable. The players need to be an example for everyone, (but) I am not somebody who makes big speeches calling for drastic punishments," added Finke.
“所有人都認(rèn)為這種行為不可接受,球員有必要為人們樹立榜樣,(但)我不贊成對這種行為進(jìn)行嚴(yán)懲?!狈铱诉€說道。
Meanwhile, Cameroon captain Samuel Eto'o remains a serious doubt for the match against Brazilas he continues to struggle with injury.
與此同時(shí),喀麥隆隊(duì)長薩繆埃爾·埃托奧(Samuel?Eto'o)正受傷病困擾,在即將與巴西隊(duì)的比賽中狀態(tài)并不樂觀。
The striker injured his right knee in the Indomitable Lions' 1-0 defeat by Mexico in Natal on 13 June and has not trained since.
這名前鋒在13號與墨西哥在納塔爾0-1的比賽中傷到了右膝,之后沒再參加球隊(duì)的訓(xùn)練。
Finke, 66, dismissed speculation that Eto'o might be about to call time on his international career.
66歲的主教練芬克駁斥了埃托奧可能面臨國際足球生涯結(jié)束的猜測。“我認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在還不是時(shí)候,他還有2年、3年或更多時(shí)間?!?/p>
"I don't think it's the moment. He has two, three or maybe four years left," said the coach of a player who has won 118 caps since making his international debut as a 15-year-old in 1997.
芬克曾經(jīng)也是一名球員,1997年15歲時(shí)便開始了國際賽事的征程,并代表國家隊(duì)贏得了118場比賽。
本屆世界杯,南美球隊(duì)具備“主場優(yōu)勢”嗎? >詳細(xì)>>
