PELLISTRI: I HOPE TO CONTINUE ON THIS PATH

Manchester United winger Facundo Pellistri is a name uttered a lot among our fans when discussing the exciting prospects in our squad.

曼联边锋佩里斯特里是曼联球迷在讨论球队激动人心的前景时经常提到的一个名字。

The winger represented his nation, Uruguay, at the 2022 World Cup despite not having made his full senior debut for United at that point.

这位边锋虽然此前在曼联没有正式登场，但是仍然代表了他的国家乌拉圭征战2022世界杯。

But since the Qatar tournament, Facundo has fought his way into Erik ten Hag’s thinking, making his first appearance in the Carabao Cup quarter-final triumph over Charlton Athletic and following it up with his maiden start for the Reds away to Real Betis in the Europa League last-16 second leg.

但是在世界杯之后，佩里斯特里赢得了滕哈格的信任，并在联赛杯1/4决赛面对查尔顿的比赛完成首秀，并在面对面对皇家贝蒂斯的欧联杯16强比赛中完成了首次首发。

Pellistri earned another cap for Uruguay in the recent international break, starting in La Celeste’s first friendly against Japan, a 0-0 draw.

佩里斯特里在最近的国际比赛日在乌拉圭国家队达成了新的里程碑，在第一场面对日本0-0的友谊赛中，他成为了首发。

While away with his national side, Facundo spoke to ESPN, stating that he is enjoying his journey as a Red and hopes to make further progress before the season is out.

他在国家队期间，ESPN对他进行了采访。他说他很享受在曼联的生涯，并希望能够在赛季结束前能够取得更大的进步。

“It makes me very happy to have more participation in the team,” he said. “I recently played as a starter, [and] that helps you feel better, both in training and on a day-to-day basis.

“我很高兴能够更多参与到球队中，”他说。“我最近成为了首发，这让我感觉更好，无论是在训练中还是日常时。

“Hopefully, I can follow this path, continue contributing, and, at the end of the season, I can win all the possible titles with the club.”

“希望我能顺着这条路走下去，继续做出贡献，并在赛季结束的时候，能够为俱乐部赢得可能拿下的冠军。”

The 21-year-old’s sentiments are echoed by our fans and there is a real sense that Reds supporters want to see Pellistri succeed at the club. This backing is something Facundo is aware of, and he says it motivates him to continue staking a claim for a place in Erik’s starting XI.

这位21岁小将的情感得到了曼联粉丝的共鸣，曼联球迷真心希望佩里斯特里能够在曼联取得成功。这样的支持是佩里斯特里希望得到的，他也提到这激励他继续努力获取滕哈格首发的一席之地。

“It makes me happy,” he continued. “It would be worse if nobody wanted to see me play.

“这让我很高兴，”他继续说道。“如果没人想看我上场比赛，那将是更糟糕的。

“Feeling that support from both the Uruguayans and the people from Manchester, wanting me to play, motivates you and makes you keep putting in [the effort] to have those opportunities that are coming and I’m enjoying them.”

“我感受到了来自乌拉圭和曼联球迷的支持，他们希望我上场比赛，这激励了我，并让我更加努力争取这样的机会，我也很享受这些。”

Pellistri will hope to play a part in United’s return to action this weekend, when the Reds take on Newcastle United at St. James’ Park on Sunday (16:30 BST).

佩里斯特里很有可能在本周末曼联休赛期归来时上场比赛。曼联将在周日23：30在圣詹姆斯公园球场面对纽卡斯尔联。
