弗格森家族内战

United's pre-season friendly against Peterborough will hold special significance in the Ferguson household, as Sir Alex locks managerial horns with son Darren for the first time.

曼联将在赛季热身赛中挑战彼得堡，特别指出使这家球队的经理是弗格森爵士的儿子达伦.弗格森。这也是弗格森家族首次在球场上硬碰硬。

The Posh have a star-studded pre-season lined up, as they also host Celtic and Liverpool before the start of the new campaign, but it's United's visit on 4 August which holds the greater allure for Ferguson.

彼得堡的赛季热身赛安排得很耀眼，他们将在主场对阵凯尔特人和利物浦。但是8月4号曼联的比赛一饮了最多的注意。

"It’s going to be a great game for the club and the fans," Darren told ManUtd.com. "We’ve got a good pre-season, with Celtic and Liverpool as well. United’s probably the biggest one, and we’re all looking forward to it.

“这是两家球队球迷的伟大时刻，”达伦告诉曼联官方网站。“我们的赛季热身赛很不错。曼联可能是最大的球队，我们很期待这场球。

"I think we’ve already sold 7,000 tickets so the fans are looking forward to it too. United are playing Doncaster the night before, but my dad said he’s going to bring as many as he can, and even if they’re not playing he’ll bring some of the big hitters along to show their faces.

“我想我们已经卖出了7000张球票，所以球迷们很期待。曼联前一天将和唐凯斯特比赛，但是我爸爸会尽可能派出最强阵容。即便他们最大的明星不上场也会至少来到这里。

"He’s got a huge squad and they’re all top quality players. Whoever they do play, we know it’s going to be a good game and we’ll have our work cut out for us, because obviously United keep the ball better than teams in our league."

“他们阵容强大，有最好的球星。不管他们派了谁上场我们都知道这回事一场高水平的比赛，可能我们都无力反击。因为很明显曼联会更好的控球。”

Although the match is inconsequential in terms of points and prizes, Darren concedes that he and his father will both be keen to secure victory.

虽然这场比赛不涉及什么实质的争夺，达伦确定他和爸爸都会全力争胜。

"Obviously it’s a friendly, but it’s a week before both teams start their season," he said. "So there’s going to be a serious element to it. United have the Community Shield the day after, but I’ve spoken to him and he’s going to be playing as strong a team as possible.

“很明显这是友谊赛，但是这是我们一周后都要开始联赛了，”他说。“所以这会是严肃的比赛。曼联1天后就要进行联赛杯，但是我对他说过。他会派出尽可能强的球队。

"It’ll be a good exercise and a lot of it at that stage of the season is about fitness. I don’t think it’ll be too serious, but there’s no doubt we’ll both want to win though, that’ll never change!"

“这是很好的锻炼，赛季开始阶段最重要的事不要受伤。我不认为比赛会很激烈，但是无疑我们都想赢。这不会改变。”
