Conor Gallagher removes self-doubt to state case for Chelsea and England

康纳·加拉格尔克服了自我怀疑

Midfielder did not expect to go to World Cup last year but no longer feels out of place after thriving at Stamford Bridge

这位中场球员去年没有预料到自己会参加世界杯，但在斯坦福桥显著进步后，他再也不觉得在俱乐部和国家队里格格不入。

Imposter syndrome is not a problem for Conor Gallagher any more. The Chelsea midfielder, who was as surprised as anyone when he was named in England’s squad at the World Cup last year, no longer feels out of place for club and country.

于康纳·加拉格尔来说，【订正】冒名顶替综合症（这类人群无法相信是凭借自己的能力取得了已有的成绩，往往将成功归因于运气、个人魅力或是人际关系；成功不会让他们更自信，反而会产生自我怀疑，加剧对失败的恐惧，感谢一位友友的纠正，我也是第一次听说关于这种人格特质）不再是一个问题，（真幽默）这位切尔西中场去年入选世界杯英国大名单时，他和其他人一样感到惊讶，但现在他不再觉得自己在俱乐部和国家队中格格不入。

A year ago Gallagher was telling journalists he had not expected to go to the World Cup. It was a comment indicative of a player short of continuity and self‑belief; a player weighed down by all the chopping and changing at Chelsea.

一年前，加拉格告诉记者他没有预料到自己会参加世界杯。这是一个表明他缺乏连贯性和自信的评论；一个在切尔西频繁变动中感到沉重的球员

How things change. Gallagher has become a key figure for Chelsea, starting 14 times in 15 games this season, and has worn the captain’s armband when Reece James and Ben Chilwell have been missing. Strengthened by Mauricio Pochettino’s backing, the 23‑year‑old exudes authority. Gallagher, who has won the ball more than any other player in Europe’s top seven leagues this season, towered over a floored Rodri towards the end of Chelsea’s 4-4 draw with Manchester City last Sunday, and he believes the self‑doubt has gone.事情变了。加拉格尔已成为切尔西的关键人物，本赛季在15场比赛中有14次首发，并在里斯詹姆斯和奇尔维尔缺阵时戴上了队长袖标。在毛里西奥·波切蒂诺的支持下，这位23岁的球员显得威风凛凛。加拉格尔是本赛季欧洲前七大联赛中夺取球权最多的球员（POSSESSION WON IN THE ATTACKING THIRD，在进攻三区赢得球权最多），上周日切尔西与曼城的4-4平局中，他在比赛结束时他的表现甚至比罗德里还要好，他的自我怀疑已经消失。

“That’s not the case any more,” Gallagher said at England’s St George’s Park training base on Tuesday. “After the World Cup squad was announced, I wasn’t playing much for Chelsea and we were going through a tough period, so that’s why I said that in an interview. But I’m very confident in my ability. Training and playing alongside midfielders worth 100‑plus million pounds is good and shows where I’m at.

”加拉格在周二在英格兰的圣乔治公园训练基地说：“不再是这样了，在宣布世界杯大名单后，我在切尔西没怎么出场，我们正经历着艰难时期，所以我在采访中说了这些，但我对自己的能力非常有信心。与价值1亿多英镑的中场球员一起训练和比赛是好事，也显示了我的实力。

”Gallagher, who could start when England host Malta in Euro 2024 qualifying on Friday, looked at ease with himself. He was not afraid of admitting that he could have left Chelsea last summer. Bayern Munich, Tottenham and West Ham were interested in Gallagher, whose place was under threat after the arrivals of Enzo Fernández for £106.8m, Moisés Caicedo for £115m and Roméo Lavia for £58m.加拉格可能在英格兰主场对马耳他进行欧洲2024年预选赛时首发，他显得很轻松。他一点也不害怕承认，去年夏天他本可以离开切尔西。拜仁慕尼黑、托特纳姆热刺和西汉姆联都对加拉格感兴趣，而在以1.068亿英镑引进恩佐·费尔南德斯、1.15亿英镑引进莫伊塞斯·卡塞多和5800万英镑引进罗梅奥·拉维亚后，他的位置岌岌可危

“It’s what comes with being at a top club like Chelsea,” Gallagher said. “In a way I was excited. But I needed to make sure I was ready to show the manager I was still good enough to play in this team.”

加拉格说：“这就是在一家像切尔西这样的顶级俱乐部所带来的。在某种程度上，我感到很兴奋。但我需要确保我已经准备好向教练证明我仍然足够好，可以在这个球队踢球

”Was he worried about his future? “I would be lying if I said I wasn’t. When top players come in your position, you think you have less of a chance of playing. It makes you even more determined to prove you are good enough. I think I have done that this season.”

他是否担心自己的未来？“如果我说我不是，那我就是在撒谎。当顶级球员来到你的位置时，你也许会认为自己上场的机会就会减少。它让你更加坚定地想证明自己足够优秀。我想我这个赛季已经做到了这一点。”（🐎的🥹，加拉这点我特别喜欢，他从不畏惧竞争，想要什么就证明自己值得，不需要先靠换俱乐部来保证什么）

Gallagher, who has had loan spells at Crystal Palace, Charlton and Swansea, was outstanding against City. He has four assists in the league this season and is eager to sort out his future. His deal expires in the summer of 2025 and Chelsea prefer to cash in on players heading towards the final year of their contracts. “I’m sure that will get sorted out,” Gallagher said.“Everyone knows Chelsea is my club and I love playing for them. The fans are brilliant and I’m loving it right now. I’m sure it will get itself sorted out.”

加拉格曾在水晶宫、查尔顿和斯旺西度过租借时期，对阵曼城时表现出色。他本赛季在联赛中有4次助攻，渴望能理清自己的未来。他的合同将在2025年夏季到期，而切尔西更喜欢在球员进入合同的最后一年时卖掉他们。“我相信那会解决的，”加拉格说。“每个人都知道切尔西是我的俱乐部，我喜欢为他们踢球。球迷们很棒，我现在非常喜欢这一切。我相信这会解决。

”It helps that Pochettino wants to utilise Gallagher’s energy and pressing. He has thrived in a more advanced role, linking well with Caicedo and Fernández, and is benefiting from regular football. “Going into games half-expecting to be starting is a good feeling,” Gallagher said. “I am mentally more relaxed and ready to perform.

波切蒂诺希望利用加拉格的活力（跑不死）和逼抢。他在高位上取得了巨大成功，与凯塞多和费尔南德斯配合得很好，在常规时间大有收益。“能有期待首发比赛是一种很好的感觉，”加拉格说。“我在精神上更加放松，更好准备表现。

“Last season it was not really knowing if I was starting or not, not really sure what was going on, what team we were going for, because of the number of players we have. Coming here I feel more relaxed, more into the squad. Hopefully I can play more for England and be a bigger part of the squad.”

“上个赛季因为球队球员数量，（人太多了哈哈）我并不清楚自己是否会首发，不太清楚发生了什么，我们要组成什么样的球队。因为我们有很多球员。到这，我感到更加轻松，更加融入整个队伍。希望我能在英格兰多踢一些比赛，成为队伍的重要一部分。”

Gallagher, who did not feature at the World Cup, started England’s victory against Australia last month. There is a place up for grabs in Gareth Southgate’s midfield. Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice are certain starters but who fills the third slot at the European Championship next summer? Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kalvin Phillips have their hands up but Gallagher is pushing.

加拉格没有在世界杯上亮相，但上个英格兰对澳大利亚的比赛他首发出场。在南大门的中场，有一个位置是空缺的，可以被竞争的。贝林厄姆和德克兰赖斯肯定会首发，但谁将在明年夏天的欧洲锦标赛上填补第三个位置呢？亨德森、阿诺德和菲利普斯都在竞争，但加拉格也在努力💪

Gallagher feels at home at Chelsea. He agrees that Pochettino is getting the best out of him by moving him higher up the pitch. Gallagher is enjoying playing for Pochettino. The Argentinian has connected with him, speaking to him about life. Gallagher thinks back to whether he could have left Chelsea. “It was a crazy period in terms of ins and outs,” he said. “I had conversations with the manager and he expressed that he liked me as a player and I was in his plans. I was really happy.”No wonder. Gallagher is from a family of Chelsea fans and is a product of the club’s academy. While Chelsea have bolstered their financial fair play position by selling homegrown players during the past 12 months, supporters do not want to see Gallagher leave. He is proving people wrong. He is proving something to himself.

加拉格在切尔西有家的感觉，他同意波切蒂诺通过将他移到更高位来取得最好的发挥。加拉格很享受为波切蒂诺效力。这位阿根廷人与他建立了联系，与他谈论生活。加拉格回想起是否应该离开切尔西。“那是一个疯狂的时期，”他说。“我与波波进行了一些交谈，他表示喜欢我在球场上，作为球员的表现，我是他计划中的一部分。我真的很高兴。”这并不奇怪，加拉格来自一家切尔西球迷的家庭，并且是俱乐部青训。在过去的12个月里，切尔西通过出售青训球员维持了他们的财务公平，球迷们不希望看到加拉格离开。他在向人们证明他们错了。他在向自己证明一些事情。
