英国曼彻斯特,10月9日:曼联主教练迈克尔·卡里克周五呼吁尽快解决曼城面临的财务违规指控案。他表示,这一拖了许久的审理过程引发了诸多疑问,也对他个人产生了影响。
MANCHESTER, England, Oct 9 : Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick called for a swift resolution to Manchester City's financial charges case on Friday, saying the long-running process had raised many questions and affected him personally.
上个月,一个独立委员会裁定:在2009-10赛季至2017-18赛季的九个赛季中,曼城违反了英超联赛的财务规则,相关指控全部成立;此外,在关于未配合调查的四项指控中,曼城也有三项被认定违规。
Last month, an independent commission found City guilty of all charges relating to breaches of the Premier League's financial rules over nine seasons, between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 campaigns, as well as three of four charges concerning their failure to cooperate with the investigation.
目前,曼城在英超积分榜上高居榜首,是五轮过后唯一保持全胜战绩的球队。该队坚决否认自身存在违规行为,并已提出上诉。
City, who currently top the Premier league table as the only side with a perfect record after five matches, have denied wrongdoing and lodged an appeal. Carrick spent 12 years at United from 2006 to 2018, winning five Premier League titles and the Champions League among numerous honours, before taking charge in January following Ruben Amorim's departure.
卡里克于2006年至2018年间效力于曼联,效力期间随队五次夺得英超冠军,还赢得过欧冠冠军等多项荣誉。鲁本·阿莫里姆离任后,他于今年1月接任曼联主帅一职。
During his playing career, the 45-year-old former midfielder lost out in two title races won by City, including the 2011-12 campaign when United fell short on goal difference after Sergio Aguero's dramatic title-clinching goal on the final day.
在球员生涯中,这位45岁的前中场球员曾两次错失夺冠良机,对手正是曼城。其中2011-12赛季,曼联最终因净胜球劣势屈居亚军,而塞尔吉奥·阿圭罗在联赛最后一轮打入了那粒决定冠军归属的关键进球。
"Very difficult to say in many ways," Carrick told a press conference when asked about the City charges. "It's thrown up a lot of questions, some have had answers, some haven't.
当被问及曼城的财务违规指控一事时,卡里克在新闻发布会上说道:“从很多层面来讲都很难说。这件事引发了大量疑问,有些有了答案,有些还没有。由于审理仍在进行中,我们也不清楚还要持续多久,所以我能说的有限。”
As it's still ongoing, and we don't know how long it's going to go, there's only so much I can say. "Certainly I've got my own questions about it, it's affected me personally in different ways over a period of time.
“当然,我个人对此也有很多疑问,这段时期这件事也在不同方面影响了我。但目前案件进展如何、最终会是什么结果,我都不清楚,只能静观其变。我只想说,尽快解决此事对各方都有利。”
But as the case is going now I don't know where that stands and how it's going to end up, so we'll just have to wait and see. "What I will say, the sooner it gets sorted I think for everyone's benefit is essential."
当被问及是否希望曼联能拿回那些错失的冠军头衔时,卡里克表示要等整个审理流程结束后再做评判。
Asked if he wants the titles United missed out on, Carrick said he would reserve judgement until the process was complete.
“我认为无论如何,无论在历史上哪项运动中,奖牌就是奖牌,我想日后你会拿到它,它在不同时期都会得到证明,”这位英格兰人补充道。
"I think regardless of anything, a medal anyway, in any sport in history, I think later on you get the medal and it's proven at different times," the Englishman added.
“那是你为之奋斗、渴望在那一刻取得成就的时刻,所以奖牌在这里或那里,不是说对它麻木,但它不会带来你最初获胜或失利时的那种感觉。那本质上就是我们为之拼搏的全部意义。”排名第十二的曼联将在周六主场迎战垫底的托特纳姆热刺,球队有多名伤员令人担忧。
"It's the moment that you strive for to win and achieve in that moment, so the medal here or there, not getting blase about it, but that doesn't bring the feeling of when you initially win or you don't win. That's essentially what we're all in it for." Twelfth-placed United host bottom side Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday and have several injury concerns.
“通过国际比赛日来看,情况确实有些复杂,”卡里克说。“(边翼卫)帕特里克·多尔古被换下,看起来他可能要缺阵数周。
"It's a bit mixed really through the internationals," Carrick said. "(Wing back) Patrick Dorgu came off and it looks like he'll be out probably for a number of weeks.
“(后卫)努赛尔·马兹拉维也被换下,他受到了撞击。他还没有完全恢复,我们得看看他的情况。”他补充说,卡洛斯·巴莱巴的情况正在好转,而中场队友科比·梅努、边锋阿马德·迪亚洛和前锋马库斯·拉什福德已经恢复了有限的训练。前锋本杰明·塞斯科距离复出还有更长时间。
"(Defender) Noussair Mazraoui came off and took a knock. He's not quite right yet, we'll have to see how he is." He added that Carlos Baleba was improving, while fellow midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, winger Amad Diallo and forward Marcus Rashford had resumed limited training. Striker Benjamin Sesko remains further away from a return.
