Iceland defender Kari Arnason said his nation’s European Championship last-16 win over England “shocked the world”.
冰岛后卫卡里?阿纳松说,冰岛在欧洲杯16强比赛中胜了英格兰,这一结果“震惊了世界”。
Iceland will play hosts France in the quarter-final on Sunday after goals from Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson knocked out England and forced manager Roy Hodgson to resign.
拉格纳?西古德森和科尔贝恩?西格索尔松成功射门,英格兰遭淘汰,罗伊?霍奇森教练被迫辞职。冰岛周日将和东道主法国在四分之一决赛中对阵。
Arnason said: “We all believed. The rest of the world didn’t but we did.
阿纳松说:“我们都相信(我们能取胜)。其它国家不相信但是我们相信。
”This is without a doubt the biggest result in Icelandic football history. We’ve shocked the world.”
“这无疑是冰岛足球历史上最伟大的胜利。我们震惊了世界。”
Wayne Rooney put England ahead with a fourth-minute penalty but Iceland were ahead by the 18th minute and held on comfortably despite Hodgson’s side having 18 attempts on goal.
韦恩?鲁尼在第4分钟时射入点球,让英格兰队处于领先地位,但是第18分钟时冰岛就领先了,并轻松保持优势,尽管英格兰队尝试过18次进球。
Iceland defender Sigurdsson, 29, accused England of complacency against a side who had already held Portugal and Hungary and beaten Austria during the group stage.
29岁的冰岛后卫西古德森指责英格兰太过自满不把冰岛放在眼里,而冰岛在小组赛阶段就逼平了葡萄牙、匈牙利,打败了奥地利。
”They thought this would be a walk in the park but we had faith in our ability,” Sigurdsson said.
“他们以为打败我们轻而易举,但是我们对我们的能力有信心,”西古德森说道。
”It went well. We didn’t feel that England created any chances. We were just heading away long balls. I wasn’t stressed in the second half.”
“比赛进展得很顺利。我们并不觉得英格兰给我们创造了什么机会。我们只是打长传反击。我在下半场一点都不紧张。”
Icelandic TV commentator Gudmundur Benediktsson went viral last week with his excited reaction to the win over Austria and he was at it again during the win in Nice – even seeming to reference the result of Britain’s EU referendum.
上周冰岛赢了奥地利,冰岛电视解说员格维兹门迪尔?贝内迪克松兴奋的反应在网上都传疯了。尼斯的这场比赛再一次获胜,他又一次兴奋不已——甚至似乎还影射了英国公投脱欧的结果。
”This is done! This is done! We are never going home! Did you see that! Did you see that!” he said.
“我们做到了!我们做到了!我们永远都不会被打回老家!你看到了吗!你看到了吗!”他吼叫道。
”Never wake me from this amazing dream!
“永远不要把我从这个美妙的梦中唤醒!”
”Live the way you want England! Iceland is going to play France on Sunday. France-Iceland! You can go home. You can go out of Europe.
“想怎么样就怎么样吧英格兰!冰岛周日要打法国。法国对阵冰岛!你可以回家了。你可以离开欧洲了。
”You can go wherever the hell you want. England 1 Iceland 2 is the closing score here in Nice. And the fairytale continues.”
“你可以去你想去的任何地方。英格兰1冰岛2就是尼斯这里的定局。而童话仍将继续。”
It’s perhaps the biggest upset in the history of tournament football. Here’s how social media reacted to the night.
这可能是欧洲杯历史上最大的一次逆袭。
