Liverpool fans express their disgust towards Manchester City during the Premier League game at Anfield Manchester City made what they will regard as a powerful statement in the most hostile territory against Liverpool at Anfield - but is it a statement that carries any weight during a Premier League season in limbo?
利物浦球迷在安菲尔德举行的英超比赛中表达了对曼城的厌恶 曼城在安菲尔德对阵利物浦的最敌对地区发表了他们认为是强有力的声明——但在英超联赛陷入困境的赛季中,这个声明是否有分量呢?
City's attention turned to on-field matters in their first game since being found guilty of 114 charges related to breaches of Premier League financial rules between 2009-10 and 2017-18.
自 2009-10 赛季至 2017-18 赛季期间,曼城因违反英超联赛财务规则而被判犯有 114 项指控后,他们的第一场比赛的注意力就转向了球场上的问题。
The fates, and fixture list, decreed it would be at Liverpool, whose fans nurse the most burning sense of injustice after finishing second to City in 2013-14, 2018-19 and 2021-22.
命运和赛程表注定了这场比赛将发生在利物浦,在2013-14赛季、2018-19赛季和2021-22赛季落后于曼城获得第二名后,利物浦球迷感受到了最强烈的不公平感。
Their argument centres on the belief those titles could have been theirs had City not possessed the high finance of their Abu Dhabi-based owners, using it in the manner that led to them being investigated.
他们的论点集中在这样的信念上:如果曼城没有阿布扎比老板的高额财务,并以导致他们受到调查的方式使用这些头衔,那么这些头衔本来可能是他们的。
With this as the backdrop, City strode into this fevered Anfield atmosphere, with Liverpool fans high on adrenaline and determined to make their contempt for their rivals obvious - then outclassed Andoni Iraola's side in a 3-0 win.
以此为背景,曼城大步走进了安菲尔德的狂热气氛中,利物浦球迷肾上腺素飙升,决心将他们对对手的蔑视显而易见——然后以 3-0 击败安多尼·伊劳拉的球队。
On another day, in other circumstances, the manner of City's victory would have fed the narrative that this was a performance of champions, a winning marker laid down to their rivals as they hold a three-point lead at the top of the table. Not here.
换一天,在其他情况下,曼城的胜利方式可能会让人觉得这是冠军的表现,是他们的对手在积分榜上领先三分的胜利标志。不在这里。
Not in the Premier League's dysfunctional state.
英超联赛的功能失调状态并非如此。
Instead, once the predictable sound and fury had been diluted by City's composure and the swift realisation they were not unnerved by Anfield or the storm raging around the club, this was a surreal experience. After the feast of excitement delivered when Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp presided over the greatest domestic rivalry of recent years, this was an occasion - remarkable as it seems - that seemed robbed of a sense of jeopardy by the circumstances surrounding it.
相反,一旦曼城的冷静淡化了可预见的喧嚣和愤怒,并且很快意识到他们并没有因安菲尔德或俱乐部周围肆虐的风暴而感到不安,这就是一次超现实的经历。 在佩普·瓜迪奥拉和尤尔根·克洛普主持了近年来最伟大的国内竞争之后,这是一个令人兴奋的盛宴——尽管看起来很了不起——但周围的环境似乎剥夺了一种危险感。
Yes, it was a statement display and City celebrated wildly at the final whistle, but will it count for anything given they await potential sanctions suggested including Premier League relegation or a record points deduction?
是的,这是一份声明,曼城在终场哨声响起时疯狂庆祝,但考虑到他们正在等待可能的制裁措施,包括英超降级或创纪录的扣分,这有什么意义吗?
Highlights: Manchester City beat Liverpool to extend perfect start As Erling Haaland looked close to tears in front of Manchester City's fans, including his father Alf-Inge, and head coach Enzo Maresca pumped his fists in jubilation, Anfield's DJ slipped Fleetwood Mac's 'Little Lies' on to the loudspeakers in a final message of defiance.
亮点:曼城击败利物浦延续完美开局 当埃尔林·哈兰德在包括他的父亲阿尔夫-英格在内的曼城球迷面前看上去几乎要落泪时,主教练恩佐·马雷斯卡欢呼雀跃地挥舞着拳头,安菲尔德的 DJ 将弗利特伍德麦克的《小谎言》放到了扩音器中,发出了最后的反抗信息。
Maresca said: "We knew there was going to be noise but we need to make our own noise by winning games.
马雷斯卡说:“我们知道会有噪音,但我们需要通过赢得比赛来发出自己的噪音。
We need to learn to deal with the noise but the message is to win games.
我们需要学会处理噪音,但传达的信息是赢得比赛。
"For me it's quite easy.
“对我来说这很容易。
I try to focus on things I can control. There are things that are not in my hands so I don't stress about them.
我尝试专注于我可以控制的事情。 有些事情不在我手中,所以我不会有压力。
"I cannot control things outside football, so why stress? I stress about gameplan, day-by-day training sessions, but the rest it's not in my hands." Haaland added: "For every single person part of Manchester City, every fan, this is a lovely moment that will stay with us for a long time.
“我无法控制足球之外的事情,那为什么要压力呢? 我强调比赛计划、日常训练,但其余的就不在我手中了。” 哈兰德补充道:“对于曼城的每一个人、每一位球迷来说,这是一个美好的时刻,它将长期陪伴我们。
It was tough. It was hard, but we showed amazing character from back to front.
这很艰难。 这很困难,但我们从后到前都展现出了惊人的性格。
So proud of everyone. "It's always tough to come here. If you look at the record it's tough. With the Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp era it was tough for both teams, always has been.
为每个人感到骄傲。 “来到这里总是很困难。 如果你看一下记录,那就很难了。 在瓜迪奥拉和克洛普时代,对于两支球队来说,情况一直都很艰难。
It was important to stay strong mentally, stick together and do what you can do something about. The thing we can do something about is to play good football and fight together. That's the only thing we can do." City have appealed against the verdict, but until the dust settles and final decisions are made, this Premier League season is in a holding pattern. When City come to Anfield and win, especially as convincingly as they did here, it should be a win without qualification or questions. This does not apply amid the current uncertainty.
保持坚强的精神、团结一致、做你能做的事情很重要。 我们能做的就是踢好足球并一起战斗。 这是我们唯一能做的事情。” 曼城已对判决提出上诉,但在尘埃落定和最终决定做出之前,本赛季英超联赛仍处于搁置状态。 当曼城来到安菲尔德并获胜时,尤其是像他们在这里那样令人信服地获胜,这应该是一场没有资格或疑问的胜利。 在当前的不确定性下,这并不适用。
Every victory, every league table, will come with a metaphorical asterisk until clarity and finality comes.
每一场胜利、每一次联赛排名都会带有一个隐喻性的星号,直到一切明晰和最终确定为止。
No-one knows when this will be.
没有人知道这会是什么时候。
Manchester City fans expressed support for chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak at Anfield City's players did their jobs to perfection, victory secured by second-half goals from Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki.
曼城球迷在安菲尔德表达了对主席穆巴拉克的支持 曼城球员完美地完成了自己的任务,下半场哈兰德、杰里米·多库和拉扬·切尔基的进球确保了胜利。
It is all they can do. There can be no escape, however, from the cloud hanging over Manchester City because every win will carry the same rider - producing a state of inertia that is not good for the Premier League.
这是他们所能做的一切。 然而,曼城的阴云无法逃脱,因为每次胜利都会带来同样的骑手——产生一种对英超联赛不利的惰性状态。
In the end, a day that promised huge discomfort for City ended in a stroll.
最终,让曼城感到极度不适的一天以散步结束。
City navigated the hostile reception awaiting them at Anfield by arriving through the staff and contractors' entrance - while an inevitable febrile environment awaited them. Even the derided half-and-half scarves were doing a roaring trade, until it was noticed the sky blue half read: 'Shamchester City - The Cheats'.
曼城通过工作人员和承包商的入口抵达安菲尔德,避开了等待着他们的敌意接待——而等待着他们的是不可避免的狂热环境。 就连那些被嘲笑的对半围巾也在做着轰轰烈烈的交易,直到人们注意到天蓝色的半围巾上写着:“沙姆切斯特城 - 秘籍”。
The announcement of City's line-up was drowned out by deafening jeers, while banners around Anfield carried a variety of messages.
曼城阵容的宣布被震耳欲聋的嘲笑声淹没,而安菲尔德周围的横幅则传达着各种各样的信息。
They including 'A Generation Of Supporters Cheated', 'And After All You Really Robbed Us All' and - in a nod to the Oasis song Stop Crying Your Heart Out, written by Noel Gallagher who was at Anfield, 'All Of Your Stars Are Fading Away'.
其中包括《一代支持者被欺骗》、《毕竟你真的抢劫了我们所有人》以及向安菲尔德的诺埃尔·加拉格尔创作的绿洲歌曲《停止哭泣》致敬的《你的所有星星都在消失》。
This was all watched by an impassive City chief executive Ferran Soriano, but any notion their fans would turn on the owners was dispelled by a flag reading: 'In Khaldoon We Trust.
面无表情的曼城首席执行官费兰·索里亚诺(Ferran Soriano)目睹了这一切,但他们的球迷可能会攻击老板的任何想法都被一面写着“我们信任卡尔顿”的旗帜驱散了。
We've Won It All', a gesture of support for the embattled chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak.
我们赢得了一切”,这是对陷入困境的主席哈尔杜恩·穆巴拉克的支持姿态。
City's fans also waved hundreds of inflatable bananas, an old habit when they spent time in the lower leagues in reduced circumstances.
曼城球迷还挥舞着数百根充气香蕉,这是他们在低级别联赛的低水平联赛中度过的一个老习惯。
There remains the possibility they will get the chance to wave them down the tiers once more in the near future.
他们仍然有可能在不久的将来有机会再次将他们降级。
Liverpool fans held up banners about Manchester City being found guilty of breaking financial rules The first half did much to pour cold water on what started as a red-hot atmosphere, further diluted by City's second-half domination, although Liverpool's fans rammed home their disgust until the final whistle, chanting "cheat" every time their opponents passed in a lengthy period of possession. Former Liverpool and England defender Stephen Warnock told BBC Radio 5 Live: "This needs rectifying as quickly as possible, but this isn't an easy thing to come to a conclusion.
利物浦球迷举着横幅,抗议曼城被判违反财务规则 上半场给一开始的火热气氛浇了一盆冷水,下半场曼城的统治进一步冲淡了比赛的气氛,尽管利物浦球迷直到终场哨声响起才表达出他们的厌恶,每次对手在长时间控球期间传球时都高呼“作弊”。 前利物浦和英格兰后卫斯蒂芬·沃诺克告诉BBC广播电台5直播:“这需要尽快纠正,但这并不是一件容易得出结论的事情。
It's never-ending. It's so difficult and it's going to take so long to sort out."
这是永无止境的。 这太困难了,需要很长时间才能解决。”
He added: "The hard part is that this is a brilliant Manchester City team, but you have to caveat it and say they have done it illegally and they bought their way.
他补充道:“最困难的部分是,这是一支出色的曼城球队,但你必须警告这一点,并说他们这样做是非法的,他们是按照自己的方式行事的。
You're caught in what you're thinking about this City team.
你陷入了对这支曼城球队的思考之中。
"I admire them because they're so good individually and so great, but the way it has been done and put together has not been put together correctly." As City walked off, they were accompanied by the taunt of "You're going down" from the Kop. City's fans answered with the trademark: "We're not really here."
“我钦佩他们,因为他们个人都非常出色,也非常伟大,但他们的完成方式和组合方式却没有正确组合。” 当曼城离开时,伴随着他们的是来自科普队的“你要倒下”的嘲讽。 曼城球迷用标志性的方式回答:“我们并不是真的在这里。”
This, in essence, is what makes this Premier League campaign one that might yet be rendered void. City might win the title - but who knows if they will be here next season?
从本质上讲,这就是导致本赛季英超联赛可能宣告无效的原因。 曼城可能会赢得冠军——但谁知道他们下赛季是否还会在这里?
As Maresca's side move into top gear and threaten to accelerate away from the chasing pack with wins such as this, no-one has a clue what their final destination will be.
当马雷斯卡的球队进入全速前进,并威胁要凭借这样的胜利加速远离追赶者时,没有人知道他们的最终目的地是什么。
