<p> 今天上班无聊的时候随便翻了翻报纸 看见爱尔兰当地报纸对明天比赛的报道 我乐翻了 原文如下：</p><p> Be afraid, be very afraid. The German are here for three points and they intend to leave Dublin on Sunday with Euro 2008 qualification done and dusted.</p><p> Teak tough defender Per Metersacker, part of the meanest centre back partnership in European football alongside Christoph Metzelder, is expecting an early onslaught from Robbie Keane, but he's looking forward to it .</p><p> "I expect we will have a great deal of work, but that is enjoyable and it is a challenge for us," said Mertesacker.</p><p> Any hope that a German team weakened by injury and with a big lead in Group D might take a less than whole-hearted apptoach to points gathering have been blown away by coach Joachim Low.</p><p> The German boss has warned against complacency and those who belive that his team need only turn up at Croke Park tomorrow to collect the point they need.</p><p> He has told his players that they must expect a torrid time at Croke Park, even if most home fans would have a different view of the fixture.</p><p> "Our aim is clearly to make sure we qualify right now in Ireland," he said, before adding in a typically efficient way that Germany's remaining home fixtures against Cyprus and Wales "would practically be our last chances to experiment."</p><p> While Steve Staunton frets over injuries to John O'Shea and Andy Reid, Low has his own injury concerns and expects a tough test from Ireland.</p><p> Low departed from reality somewhat when he offered his assessment of the Republic of Ireland's current strength </p><p> "They have Premier League players and they have quality", he said. "I think they're better than England or Wales right now.</p><p> "They will be playing with great motivationand passion. It's their last opportunity to retain a chance of qualifying."</p><p> </p><img src="images/post/smile/dvbbs/em02.gif" /><img src="images/post/smile/dvbbs/em02.gif" /><img src="images/post/smile/dvbbs/em02.gif" /><img src="images/post/smile/dvbbs/em02.gif" /> |
