爱思英语编者按:关于莱昂纳尔·梅西的话题,已经谈论的足够多了。这位年仅22岁的2009年度国际足联世界足球先生,已经同他的球队巴塞罗那一起赢得了所有能够赢得的荣誉。他为全世界所熟悉,他每一次的公开露面都吸引了大量崇拜者。

然而,正如他在接受FIFA.com专访时所言,这位阿根廷10号仍有一个梦想等待实现:赢得世界杯。谈及这项崇高的目标,神奇梅西向我们描述了他的观点,关于带领蓝白军团迎接2010南非世界杯挑战的压力以及他不断追求勇攀新高的渴望。

It was not so very long ago that Messi cut a somewhat shy and reserved figure whenever he appeared before the world"s press. Those days seem to have gone, however. Now just as at ease in front of the cameras and microphones as he is on the ball the Argentinian has grown accustomed to being in the spotlight – a spotlight that has only intensified since he embarked on his meteoric rise to global stardom. Despite having touched the pinnacle, Messi believes his best is still to come.更多信息请访问:http://www.24en.com/

 "I don"t think I"ve reached my peak yet," he says, his appetite for success undiminished. "My dream is to win the World Cup with Argentina and then to go and repeat what we"ve achieved at Barcelona, and to keep on going after that. My aim is to keep improving day by day. I want to keep on growing, I want to learn the things I don"t know and to keep working on the things I do know so that I don"t forget them." At Germany 2006 he became the youngest ever Argentina player to score a FIFA World Cup finals goal, although he spent most of a frustrating tournament on the bench. Things promise to be very different in South Africa, where Messi will be the man La Albiceleste are banking on to spearhead their bid for a third world crown. Not that the extra responsibility has altered his approach as he prepares for the tournament. "No, the fact is it doesn"t," comes the unequivocal response. "I know I"m going to have more responsibility and more opportunities, but I"m just as excited and as keen as I was the last time. We are very confident we can have a good World Cup and lift the Trophy." "The fact is I"m relaxed," he continues, shrugging off the obvious pressure that comes with wearing Argentina"s No10 jersey. "I didn"t go looking for any of this and I haven"t tried to create any of it. The same thing happened to me in Barcelona and things have gone really well for me there. I hope I can play with the same style and character for the national side." A new beginning Argentina"s journey to the world finals was an arduous one. In danger of elimination as the qualifying competition came to a close, they only booked their place in South Africa in their final game, yet Messi believes this will have no bearing on their performance in the next few weeks. "The qualifiers are behind us now," he says. "For one reason or another we found it tough and we had to put a lot of hard work in. This is totally different, though. Argentina are always going to be one of the favourites. We"ve got some fantastic players and we are a great national team that"s always right in there competing for trophies." In Messi"s eyes one of the main reasons he and his team-mates can go into the tournament in confident mood is the identity of their coach, Diego Maradona, a man who knows what it takes to win the biggest prize in football. "Exactly, we all know that," he says. "That"s why I said that the qualifiers don"t mean anything now. We have a lot of faith and desire, and Diego"s experience is going to be crucial." Though Argentina are favourites to top Group B in South Africa, the Barcelona man is taking nothing for granted. "There are no pushovers in the World Cup. I saw Nigeria at the African Cup of Nations and they are a typical African team with good and physically strong players. I haven"t seen much of Korea Republic and Greece but to win games, you have to go out and play them. We have confidence in our ability, though, and we feel we can get through the group comfortably enough." Before signing off, Messi gives one final indication of what makes him tick. "My dream is to win, come what may," he says with a steely look in his eyes. "I can picture us getting to the Final, winning it and holding the Trophy aloft. I haven"t even thought about how we"ll get there, but I"m convinced we"re going to win it."
