波多爾斯基：德國沒有像內馬爾一樣的超級明星
Lukas Podolski has admitted that Germany do not boast a star player like Neymar but he believes their collective strength can secure a place in the World Cup final.
據goal.com足球網站報道，盧卡斯·波多爾斯基承認，德國隊沒有像內馬爾一樣的超級明星，但他相信他們集體的力量可以幫助他們闖入世界杯的決賽。
Germany face hosts Brazil in the semi-final in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday after both teams won their quarter-final matches on Friday.
本周二，在貝洛哈里桑塔，德國的半決賽將面對東道主巴西隊。
Naymar has been the star of the Brazil side in the tournament, scoring four goals in four five games before he broke a vertebra in Friday's win over Colombia, bringing his tournament to an end. The injury comes as a huge blow as they lose their main source of creativity and goals.
內馬爾是本屆巴西隊的超級明星，5場比賽打進4球，可惜在對陣哥倫比亞的那場比賽中腰椎骨裂告別世界杯 。
他的受傷對于巴西隊來說是一個巨大的打擊，因為他們失去了場上的絕對主力和進攻的核心。
And Podolski feels are much better as a Unit than Brazil, as they do not rely on individuals, but feels they must now prove they are the best team in the world.
比起巴西隊，波多爾斯感到德國好多了，他們是一個整體，不像巴西隊那樣，過于依賴隊內的超級明星，德國隊有能力證明他們是世界上最好的球隊。
“We feel that we don’t have players like Messi or Neymar who can make a goal with one special movement, but we have a strong team,” Podolski said. “Everyone sticks together and this is important.
“我們覺得我們隊中沒有像梅西或內馬爾這樣的超級明星，在關鍵時刻能以偉大的進球拯救球隊，但我們有一個強大的團隊?！辈ǘ酄査够f?！罢爤F結一致，發揮自己的整體優勢，這是很重要的?！?/p>
“You are only the best team in the world when you win the World Cup. When you lose the semi-final, you are out. So we have to win. We play to win.
“只有贏得了世界杯冠軍，你的球隊才會是世界上最好的球隊。當你輸掉了半決賽，你就出局了，所以，我們必須贏，我們為勝利而戰?！?/p>
“Of course, to play against Brazil in Brazil will be a special game. It will be a great game for the world but we have two matches to go and we want the title.
“當然，在巴西本地對陣東道主將會是一場特殊的比賽。對于全世界，這將會是一場足球盛宴，但我們還有兩場比賽要踢，并且我們想奪冠。
“We can be the first European team to win a World Cup in South America. It won’t be easy because a lot of European teams are out, but we are here and we are strong.
“我們可以成為第一只在南美洲贏得世界杯的歐洲球隊。這也許并不容易，因為很多歐洲強隊都出局了，但是我們仍然留在這里，我們是強大的?！?/p>
“The World Cup is not a competition where the team that plays the best football wins the tournament.”
“世界杯并不是各個球隊聚在一起互相競爭，踢得最好的隊伍就能贏得比賽?！?/p>
