AGGER: THANK-YOU JAMIE
Jimmy Rice 04 May 2007
Daniel Agger has thanked Jamie Carragher for guiding him through his first full season on Merseyside – and labelled his fellow centre back "the best teacher any young
player can have."
A series of rock solid displays saw the Dane become a firm Kop favourite even before his unforgettable goal in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Chelsea.
經過一番挫折後，丹麥人早已成為御用的先發，即便是在他踢進歐冠四強對決切爾西準決賽中那令人不可置信的一球之前
Yet Agger insists such a smooth transition into the first team would not have been possible without the help of Liverpool's number 23.
然而AGGER認為如果沒有利物普的23號，今日的他不可能會有如此傑出的表現在隊上
"Jamie Carragher is the best defender in the world, and not only this, he is the best teacher any young player can have," said the 22-year-old.
22歲的AGGER說"傑米˙卡拉格是當今世上最好的後衛，不光如此，對所有的年輕選手來說他絕對是最好的老師"
"It's impossible for me to describe the level of respect I have for him and the way he's helped me in every game."
" 我實在是很難告訴你，每場比賽中我到底從他那邊學到了多少的東西，以及從他那邊得到多少的幫助"
Agger was also touched by the quotes attributed to his counterpart following the first leg against Jose Mourinho's men.
相同地，AGGER也從第一場對決魔力鳥他們那一隊的客場比賽中學到了許多
youngster was criticised in some quarters following an expert performance from Didier Drogba – but Carra was having none of it.
他們年輕的選手們總是會被切爾西的頭號射手德羅巴責罵，但卡拉格從來不會這麼做
"You don't need to worry about Daniel Agger. He's going to be a top player for years to come," said the club's vice-captain.
副隊長則說"你根本不需要擔心Agger，因為幾年後，他絕對會成為世上頂尖的足球選手"
Agger added: "When I think back to what happened in the first leg, I really don't know what to feel about it. I really didn't feel I played that badly. For some reason, some people decided to say I had a bad game.
"Didier Drogba is one of the best strikers in the world and one of the best I've ever played against. He's one of many strong strikers in the Premiership which makes it such a tough league.
阿格又說道" 當我回想起第一場比賽時，我真的不知道該做何感想，說真的，我真的沒有感覺自己有踢得那麼遭，但基於一些理由，有些人絕對我踢得很遭"
"在我曾經對抗過的前鋒中，德羅巴絕對是數一數二的，他在聯賽中的亮眼成績也是無人能出其右"
"I thought Drogba was outstanding in both games, but it's just that everything in football is decided by the result and people never look at what really happened in the game afterwards.
"There are some journalists in Denmark who like to get together and write the same things, so if one person says something they all agree.
"It's just a big media circus sometimes although, in a strange way, the Danish media going against me this time made me more motivated because I'm the kind of person who can show it doesn't matter what's written.
"I'll never be affected by that.
"It's strange for me because the reaction in Liverpool has been so different and positive. A lot of our players have had a fantastic season and our fans are so fair and want to be supportive."
Meanwhile, Agger has spoken of his pride at the team performance on Tuesday night.
"I'm proud of how all the players performed. All of us worked very hard, and best of all we kept our concentration for 120 minutes and made no mistakes, which is very tough at this level against great players.
"It was a great feeling when I scored. I felt amazing. I've never even been to a Champions League final as a spectator, but I know it's a massive game and one I'm really looking forward to."
