TEN HAG HOPES FOR LONG ASSOCIATION WITH MARTINEZ

Lisandro Martinez's popularity among the Manchester United support has been apparent ever since he arrived from Ajax.

自从利马离开阿贾克斯加盟到曼联后，他在曼联球迷中受到的欢迎程度是显而易见的。

The World Cup winner has his own chant and the fans love the way he approaches the game, biting into challenges but showing real composure when on the ball.

这位世界杯的获得者拥有属于他自己的助威歌，球迷也很欣赏他在比赛中的表现。即使面对挑战，他也会展现出沉着的一面。

While the supporters clearly admire his play, the manager also has his own thoughts on the subject. Having decided to bring the defender with him from Amsterdam to Manchester, the boss was asked for his thoughts on the 'Butcher' nickname, plus the character and style of the centre-back, during a recent interview with UEFA.

在球迷钦佩他的表现的同时，主教练同样对他有独到的见解。在决定将这名后卫从阿姆斯特丹带到曼彻斯特后，主教练在最近接受欧足联采访时被问及他对“屠夫”的绰号以及中后卫的性格和风格的看法。

It is obvious Erik wants to continue working with the 25-year-old for many years to come.

显然滕哈格想和这位25岁的后卫继续合作很多年。

"I see 'The Butcher' in a positive way," said Ten Hag. "Not in a negative way. His playing [style is] tough but not unfair. I think he is, especially, he is a defender, and he is defending in a good way – on the ball because it is [about] positioning, anticipation and co-operation.

“我认为‘屠夫’的绰号是很正面的，”滕哈格说。“不是负面的。他的比赛风格强硬但并不显得脏。我认为他是个特别的后卫，以较好的方式防守，尤其是对球方面。因为这需要位置感、预判能力和合作能力。

"It is sublime. It’s extraordinary to work with him and because he has that capacity, and he wants to improve day by day. So, it’s nice to see his defending style. His attitude – everyone loves it, the fans love it, the defence loves it, and it gives spirit to the team.

“这是令人赞叹的。和他合作是非凡的，也因为他拥有那个能力，他想去每天提升自己。所以很高兴能看到他现在的防守风格。他对比赛的态度，让所有人喜爱，让粉丝们喜爱，让球队防线成员喜爱，同时给予球队精神动力。

"[When he is] on the ball, he can deal with it. I like him as a player. I like the attitude [that he has], and I hope that we can co-operate for a long time together."

“当他在持球的时候，他可以很好地处理球。我喜欢他这名队员，我喜欢他的态度，我也希望我们能够长期合作。”

Martinez has made 37 appearances, to date, in his debut season with the Reds and will hope to make it 38 when we take on Real Betis tonight (Thursday). 

本赛季至今，利马已经为曼联出场37次，而且很大希望在今晚对阵皇家贝蒂斯的比赛中出场第38次。

The Europa League round-of-16 first leg provides an opportunity for Licha and his team-mates to return to action, following the hugely disappointing performance at Liverpool on Sunday.

欧联杯16强第一场比赛给了利马和他的队友们一个反弹的机会，在他们上周日以极其令人失望的表现输给利物浦之后。

Our no.6 also played five times for Argentina at the World Cup, as the South Americans ultimately lifted the trophy in Qatar.

我们的6号同样在世界杯为阿根廷出场5次，并随队在卡塔尔捧起最终的冠军奖杯。
