Interlull Round-up: Sagna, Nasri, Wilshere, and moaning Mannone

We’re at the halfway point of one of the dreariest interlull’s in history. Someone, please, wake me up when it’s over.
我們還在一向都是乏味的國際賽之進程中。拜託朋友們，如果你還醒著，這國際賽事結束後請叫我起來吧。
So far, only Bacary Sagna’s name has been plucked from the tombola of fate to be marked down as ‘injured’, though I expect others will soon join him. Sagna will be absent for the next three weeks, meaning a regular run in the side for Emmanuel Eboue. Some will be pleased: the Frenchman’s form has come in for criticism of late. However, despite a poor display against West Brom and allowing Ashley Cole to sneak in behind him all too easily against Chelsea, Sagna remains one of our better defenders. Eboue hasn’t played regularly in the position for some time, and he will need to furrow his brow and call upon what little powers of concentration he has against the likes of Shakhtar and Man City.
到目前為止，只有 Bacary Sagna 抽中大獎，一個“掛病號”的大獎，雖然我認為還會有人也抽中。言歸正傳，Sagna 會缺席三週，意味著 Emmanuel Eboue 會接替他上場一陣子。另一則好消息是：這名法國人不錯的表現，也在最近的評論裡被接受。儘管在對上 West Brom 的慘澹表現，以及對上 Chelsea 時讓 Ashley Cole 輕而易舉打入左路，Sagna 依然是槍手裡最佳的後防之一。Eboue 有一段時間沒有固定在踢右後衛的位置，他還可能得皺眉頭，甚至得對自己打氣，要自己更專心一點來對抗 Shakhtar 和 ManCity 這類的球隊。
One man who did escape unscathed whilst representing France is Samir Nasri. Nasri played in his preferred central role, and would like to do so more often for Arsenal:
另一名代表法國隊出場且逃出受傷厄運的是 Samir Nasri。(因為槍迷對國際賽很感冒，經常賽後便傳出槍手掛病號的壞消息)。Nasri 這次踢自己最喜愛的中前場(進攻中場)，也希望自己在 Arsenal 能繼續踢同樣的位置：
“That’s where I play best, that’s how I was formed. In every age group at youth level, I often played through the middle.
『這是我踢得最好的位置，也是我之所以成為中前場(進攻中場)的原因。在青年階段的我，我都是踢中前場的位置。』
“I’ve been playing out wide for two years with Arsenal but feel more at ease in the centre of the pitch.”
『我在 Arsenal 踢了兩年的許多位置，但只有踢中場才讓我得以發揮。』
At the risk of sounding pessimistic, I’m sure Nasri will get plenty of opportunities to play there in the future - particularly after next summer, when Barcelona are due to return for Cesc Fabregas.
容我悲觀地說，我很確信 Nasri 將來會有更多的機會踢這個位置，特別是在明年夏季之後，Barcelona 會帶走 Cesc Fabregas。
Another contender for that position would be Jack Wilshere, who after playing for the England U-21s at the back end of last week, has joined up with the senior squad for tomorrow’s game against Montenegro. A competitive appearance for the national team would cap a great start to the season for Jack, who has been voted our Player of the Month for September.
另一名爭奪這個位置的競爭者便是 Jack Wilshere，於上週踢了 U-21英格蘭隊之後，隨英格蘭一線隊參與明天對上 Montenegro 的賽事(台灣時間：明天凌晨三點(￣￣；)有興趣者請準備爆肝 XD)。能在國家隊爭取到上場機會，對 Jack 而言，這個賽季會是好的開始，且被票選為 Arsenal 九月的最佳球員。
You can check up on all our other internationals here. Vito Mannone kept a clean sheet for the Italy U-21s, which will provide a boost to his dwindling first-team prospects at Arsenal. You can understand his frustration: being fourth-choice goalkeeper at Arsenal is like turning up in Lilliput and failing to make the basketball team.
你可以點選此查看其他槍手的國際賽近況。Vito Mannone 保持在 U-21義大利隊的"清道夫"表現，對其在 Arsenal 愈趨上場無望的情形，帶來了激勵的加分效果。他的挫折感是可以理解的：身為 Arsenal 第四門將，就像是在小人國裡露面，也不能成為籃球隊的一員。(年資成了他的身高，想進槍手先發門將名單，就得拿出經驗來證明)
We continue to be linked with January moves for shot-stoppers. The Sunday Mirror says we’re plotting a raid for Asmir Begovic, whilst Mark Schwarzer is still hopeful of a move from Fulham. I don’t think either seems particularly likely. Begovic’s reputation seems to be built largely on the fact that no-one has really seen him play, whilst paying a fee for a 38-year old Schwarzer, available for nothing in June, does not seem a very ‘Arsene’ thing to do.
目前也傳出明年一月冬轉會引進一名門將。《鏡報足球》周末版指出我們正在策劃著搶購 Asmir Begovic，雖然 Mark Schwarzer 仍有機會從 Fulham 引進來。我認為不會引進這兩名的其中一個。Begovic 的名氣越來越大，但事實上沒有人真正去看他的表現；至於為 38 歲的 Schwarzer 付出一筆轉會費，在六月時本可搞定卻未成交，看起來也不像是 Arsene 非買人不可的風格。
Instead, Almunia and Fabianski will be left to fit it out. A titanic struggle. An unstoppable force and an immovable object. A clash of honour, dignity, and respect. One, frankly, a bit like this:
取而代之的是，Almunia 和 Fabianski 會繼續著守門任務。像鐵達尼號駛向冰山一般的奮鬥著，無法阻止的力量以及無可替代的他們。他們將為 榮譽、尊嚴、以及球迷的愛戴而相互競爭。我要說，就有點像是這影片一樣：
