马塔周记，每周一期。有了马塔蜀黍，麻麻再也不用担心我的英语了。

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE 

总要相信

Hi everyone,

大家好啊，

We are now in what could be the final four weeks of the season and every game is key. You have to mix your desire with responsibility, but you always have to be fully motivated. Tomorrow we have the second leg of the quarter finals of the Champions League and we are travelling to Barcelona with that motivation. Being 0-1 behind isn’t a good scoreline, but we are Manchester United and when you wear this shirt anything is possible. It is something that I have already repeated on many occasions, but it is real, and we have experienced it several times this season.

现在可能是这个赛季的最后四个礼拜了，每一场比赛都很关键。将欲望揉进责任，我们要保持充足的斗志。明天我们就将迎来欧冠联赛1/4决赛第二回合的较量，现在大家正承载着这种斗志前往巴塞罗那。0-1落后并不理想，但我们是曼联，当你穿上这身球衣之后，任何事情都有可能发生。我在很多场合都强调过这一点，它是真的，这个赛季我们也经历过了好几次。

We come into the week after beating West Ham on Saturday in the Premier League, but in all honesty we didn’t play well. They were three very important points against an opponent who knew how to play against us and did not make it easy. It was a key win heading into the run of four important and difficult games that we have in April. 

上周末我们在英超联赛中战胜了西汉姆联，但老实说我们踢得并不好。这三分很重要，而对手知道如何应对我们，让比赛变得困难。四月还剩下4场艰难的比赛，这场胜利对我们来说至关重要。

First up we have Barcelona, which we are focused on at present, at a stadium that is special both for United fans and for myself. It is one of the best venues to play football at and we hope to honour that with a great game. 20 years ago, the club achieved an incredible triumph that was fuelled by keeping the faith and not giving up until the very last second. A historic Champions League final win that will be remembered forever. Those goals from Teddy Sheringham and the boss in stoppage time are not only in our club’s history, but also a memory shared across football in Europe and the history books of the Champions League. What a night. I hope that on Tuesday we can experience another magical evening. We have to believe.

第一个对手是巴塞罗那，也就是我们目前所关注的。对于曼联球迷和我本人来说，比赛的场地都是非常特殊的。那是最适合足球的地方，我们也希望用一场伟大的比赛来将它发扬光大。20年前，俱乐部依靠不到最后一刻永不放弃的精神赢下了一座不可思议的冠军。那是一场载入史册的欧冠决赛，将被人永远铭记。谢林汉姆和我们主教练的进球不仅会载入俱乐部的史册，也会在欧洲足坛的历史中被传为佳话。多么美妙的夜晚啊。希望这周二，我们能再次经历一个神奇的夜晚。要相信自己。

Before signing off today I would like to highlight the #allredallequal campaign that the club launched this weekend. I feel very proud to be part of a collective who are committed to equality, diversity and inclusivity. Football is important, but more important still are the lessons that we can teach to millions of people. Well done to our club.

在停笔前，我想着重提一下俱乐部发起的“人人红魔，人人平等”活动。很骄傲，我能够成为这个致力于平等、多样、包容的集体中的一员。足球固然重要，但更重要的是通过足球，我们可以向千千万万的人们传达的东西。俱乐部，干得好！

I hope you all have a great week,

希望大家都能度过愉快的一周

Hugs,

P.S.: I would also like to pick out Tiger Woods’ triumph at Augusta, 11 years after his last Major win. Tiger is a role model who has had to overcome some very difficult moments in both his professional and personal life… it’s a historic return, one of the biggest in sporting history. The Tiger is back.

附笔：我还想提一下泰格-伍兹，他在时隔11年后终于在奥古斯塔收获了大赛的冠军。泰格是一位榜样，他克服了事业生涯和个人生活中的一些艰难时刻......这是个具有历史意义的回归，是体坛中的一件大事。老虎回来了。
