GIGGS IS GUNNING FOR ARSENAL
Ryan Giggs has thrown down the gauntlet to Arsenal by insisting The Gunners have a long way to go to be compared with Manchester United.
小吉认为阿森纳与曼联相比还是有点差距!
Arsenal put The Red Devils in the shade last season when romping to the Premiership title.
Flying Welsh winger Giggs admits Arsenal did superbly to go through the entire league campaign unbeaten but feels they need to secure silverware consistently to be labelled a great team.
上赛季阿森纳保持联赛不败夺冠的确非常了不起。但小吉觉得一支真正的强队,应该要有实力卫冕冠军/连续几个赛季获得冠军。
"What Arsenal achieved last season was fantastic, I've said that before," commented Giggs. "But people were calling them the greatest team of all-time when we have won back- to-back titles, three championships in a row and a European Cup.
同时他强调了曼联曾连续三个赛季夺冠,外加欧洲冠军杯。
"Great teams are decided over many years not just one season. I still believe on our day we are the team capable of beating anyone."
“强队需要多个赛季的考验,而不仅仅只靠一个赛季。我还是觉得曼联能击败任何对手。”
Giggs is determined to help United wrestle the balance of power back from the London clubs, as he added: "We have never gone two years in The Premiership without winning a title and we do not want to start now.
“我们从没有连续两个赛季一无所获。”
"We want to stop Arsenal doing what they haven't done before. They may be champions but they haven't successfully defended the title."
“曼联要全力阻止阿森纳卫冕联赛冠军。”
