U21s: Mixed fortunes for Reds

U21:红魔悲喜两重天

翻译：羅小小

England's Kieran Richardson is United's sole representative in the semi-finals of the U-21 European Championships, after fellow Reds Nani and Giuseppi Rossi bowed out over the weekend.

英格兰的理查德森成为曼联在欧洲U21青年锦标赛进入半决赛的唯一一名球员，另外两名，纳尼和罗西在周末的比赛后不幸被淘汰。

Rossi found the net in Italy's 3-1 win over the Czech Republic with a powerful left-foot drive that went in off the far post, but the win proved too little too late for the Azzurini, who'd managed just one point from their other group games.

罗西在意大利3-1战胜捷克的比赛中攻入了漂亮的一球，这是一个左脚抽射，皮球直入远角。但这对于意大利队来说太晚了，他带领球队在前面的两场比赛中只拿到了一分。

Instead, England joined Serbia from Group B in the semi-finals after beating the Balkan nation 2-0 in Nijmengen. The match was scarred by racism in the stands and threatened to boil over into a brawl after Matt Derbyshire scored England's second in the 77th minute.

相反，英格兰和塞尔维亚一起进入了半决赛，他们在比赛中2-0战胜了这个巴尔干半岛的国家。但这场比赛留下瑕疵，在英格兰77分钟时攻入第二球后发生了种族歧视事件。

The Serbs were unhappy with Derbyshire and Richardson (who played the Blackburn striker in with a chip over the defence) for playing on when defender Slobodan Rajkovic was injured inside the penalty area. England now face hosts the Netherlands on Wednesday.

塞尔维亚人对于德比郡和理查德森的做法十分不满，由于他们二人在对方球员受伤后继续进攻。英格兰将在星期三开始半决赛，他们的对手是东道主荷兰队。

Serbia meet Belgium in the other semi, while Portugal and Italy compete for fourth place and automatic qualification for next year's Olympic Games on Thursday. But the Reds' new signing, 21-year-old Nani, is set to miss the match after limping out of his country's 4-0 thrashing of Israel on Saturday night. While Portuguese medical staff have confirmed the injury is not as bad as first feared, the former Sporting Lisbon winger is unlikely to be handed a spot in Jose Couceiro's starting XI.

另一场半决赛将在塞尔维亚和比利时间展开，而在星期四，葡萄牙将与意大利争夺第四名，获胜的球队可以自动进入明年的奥运会。而曼联新签下的纳尼，将错过这场比赛，他在4-0战胜以色列的比赛中受伤。葡萄牙的医学专家证实纳尼的伤没有想象中的严重，但这名前里斯本竞技的球员不大可能出现在教练的14人名单中。

It's good news for the Italians, who would have noted the impact Nani had on Saturday's match. He notched Portugal's fourth with a stunning strike from outside the area before Israel substitute Dani Bondarv made his presence felt with a crude challenge in the 69th minute.

这对于意大利人是好消息，他们已经注意到纳尼在星期六比赛中精彩的表现。在以色列替补丹尼·邦达夫上场之前，第69分钟，他打入了葡萄牙的第四个进球，这个漂亮的进球是从禁区外打入了，让那位刚上场的对手感受到赤裸裸的挑战。
