（6月13日新聞）彼得克勞奇決定在今後的比賽中不再繼續他的特有的“機器人”式的進球慶祝動作，他説，他要留到英格蘭奪冠那天，他才會重新用那個動作慶祝。

　　在前幾場對匈牙利和牙買加的友誼賽中，利物浦的巨人都用這種古怪的“機器人”動作慶祝他的進球。

　　因為克勞奇認為，現在的比賽很關鍵，贏得比賽要比進球更為重要，要把所有精力放在贏得比賽上，因此，這個獨特的慶祝方式要暫時停止。

　　同時，他還表示，隊友歐文會在接下來的比賽中，很快恢復到很好的狀態，他沒有問題。

　　英格蘭將在下一場迎接特立尼達和多巴哥的挑戰。

　　原文: Crouch ditches robot celebration

　　13 June 2006

　　Peter Crouch has sent the 'robot' into retirement and will only revive it if England win the FIFA World Cup?.

　　The gangling Liverpool forward emerged as a cult figure amongst fans with his bizarre goal celebration during friendly wins over Jamaica and Hungary.

　　However, as England knuckle down to the task of trying to win the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 40 years, Crouch has brought his dancing days to a close - for the moment at least.

　　"It's not about robotic dancing," Crouch said. "It is about scoring goals and winning matches. It's an important time for everyone now.

　　"It's serious business, though we might all do it if we win the World Cup."

　　Crouch said that although team-mates had encouraged him to continue his goal celebrations, he wanted to ensure he was focused on winning.

　　"If you can enjoy yourself, all well and good, but the first thing we must concentrate on winning football matches," said Crouch.

　　"The lads are keen for me to keep it going, but I'm not sure about that. I hope to get as many goals as I can, but I'm not sure about that celebration."

　　Crouch meanwhile is certain his strike partner Michael Owen will come good at some point in the tournament after being hauled off against Paraguay.

　　"Over the years Michael has been playing, he has always scored goals and I believe he will always score goals," Crouch said.

　　"He is a goalscorer and a finisher and when he is given chances he will score. Michael is one of our main threats, so there is no problem with him."

　　England's next Group B match is against Trinidad and Tobago in Nuremberg on Thursday.
