門將奧斯瓦爾多桑切斯的發揮對墨西哥在本屆世界盃上世界盃上的前景意義重大。這位32歲的瓜達拉哈拉體育俱樂部球員是一名充滿熱情、守門可靠的智慧型表演者，是主帥拉博爾佩為接下來的幾週所做計劃中的重要組成部分。大戰即將來臨，桑切斯暫時從工作中抽身，向FIFAworldcup.com談起他面對挑戰的希望和夢想。

　　奧斯瓦爾多，您被看作是世界上最好的門將之一。您認為自己能在FIFA世界盃上確保這種地位嗎？

　　首先講一點，人們説了我這麼多好話，我感到非常榮幸。無疑，我希望在德國世界盃上有出色表現，但對我來説，墨西哥踢一屆偉大的世界盃比其他任何事都重要。

　　您認為墨西哥隊能在2006年德國世界盃上走多遠？

　　我們是一支非常厲害的球隊，隊中有一些水平非常高的球員，我們有能力做任何事。我們真的相信自己能成為世界冠軍，現在正朝這個方向努力。

　　是什麼使您對獲勝如此有信心呢？

　　像我説的一樣，是我們隊員的素質和隊中極好的氛圍。我們所有人都相處融洽，而如果你想取得成就的話，這一點非常重要。

　　您認為這次墨西哥隊一定會出現在16強之中嗎？

　　我當然認為是這樣。儘管我們不應該低估任何球隊。我們在第一輪中有一些難對付的對手，我們必須做好拿下每一場比賽的準備。其餘的事情以後會有充裕的時間考慮。

　　許多人都看好目前這支墨西哥隊。

　　是的，我們知道這點。我想這大部分要歸功於我們在預選賽和去年聯合會杯上的表現。我們現在必須要做的一切，就是要給我們的球迷一次好看的世界盃。

　　説到聯合會杯，那次經歷讓你初步了解了德國的文化。

　　對，是這樣。事實上，因為我們大部分時間都是在比賽營地度過的，我出去走動的時候不太多。但我真喜歡所看到的事物，希望這次能稍微多看一點。

　　對那些也許還不知道奧斯瓦爾多桑切斯的人，您想説自己的主要特點是什麼呢？

　　我是一名非常努力的球員，真的，這就是我能説的全部。我在賽場上時會全力以赴。至於其他的，他們得根據在世界盃上看到的表現來評判我了。

　　Few if any of Mexico's 23-man squad are as essential to the country's chances of success at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany? as goalkeeper Oswaldo Sanchez.

　　The 31-year-old Chivas Guadalajara man is in the form of his life. An athletic, sure-handed and intelligent performer, he is a vital part of coach Ricardo La Volpe's plans for the coming weeks. With the big event just around the corner, Sanchez took time out to talk to FIFAworldcup.com about his hopes and dreams for the challenge ahead.

　　FIFAworldcup.com: Oswaldo, you are seen as one of the finest keepers in the world. Do you think you can confirm that status at the FIFA World Cup?

　　Oswaldo Sanchez: First of all, I feel honoured that people are saying such nice things about me. Naturally I want to perform well in Germany, but what matters to me more than anything else is that Mexico have a great World Cup.

　　How far do you think Mexico can go at Germany 2006?

　　We've got a terrific squad with some very high-quality players and we're capable of anything. We really believe we can become world champions and we're working towards that.

　　What makes you so sure of success?

　　Like I said, the quality of the players we have and the excellent atmosphere in the Mexican camp. We all get on very well and that's very important if you want to achieve things.

　　Do you think Mexico will finally make it beyond the round of 16 this time?

　　Of course I do. We shouldn't underestimate anyone, though. We've got some tough opponents in the first round, and we have to take each game as it comes. There'll be plenty of time to think about the rest later.

　　A lot of people are pinning their hopes on this Mexico side.

　　Yes, we know that. I think a lot of that is down to our performances in the qualifiers and at the Confederations Cup last year. All we have to do now is give our fans a good World Cup.

　　Talking of the FIFA Confederations Cup, that trip was something of an introduction to German culture.

　　Yes, it was. The fact is I didn't get out and about much because we were at our tournament base most of the time. I really liked what I saw, though, and I hope to see a little more this time around.

　　For those people who perhaps do not know you, what are Oswaldo Sanchez's main qualities?

　　I'm a very hard worker, that's all I can say really. I give it my all when I'm out on the pitch. As for the rest, well they'll just have to judge me on what they see at the World Cup. I hope they like what they see.
