達米安決心要衛冕聯賽杯
這名邊後衛幫助曼聯2016年6月17日在溫布利舉起了聯賽杯獎盃——這是穆里尼奧在他第一個賽季所贏得的三個獎盃之一。
在接受曼聯官網專訪時，義大利人感覺更衣室里充滿了雄心壯志去衛冕這項國內賽事，這將是這個賽季第一個榮譽。
「我認為衛冕冠軍總是很困難，但我們會嘗試，」他宣稱。「我們想要贏得每一個獎盃。當我們在球場上時，我們試圖贏得每一場比賽，這是我們的主要想法。」
達米安本賽季已經出場兩次，有可能會為曼聯在聯賽杯-現在改名為水牛杯-周日第三輪主場對陣英冠球隊伯頓的比賽中登場。當被問及在國內杯賽中獲得主場比賽是否總是很重要的時候，他說:「當然，在主場踢球總是很重要和很好的。但每一場比賽都是不同的，每一場比賽都會很困難，所以我們必須做好準備，我們必須為比賽準備充分，我們必須拿下比賽。」
對陣伯頓的比賽，將是穆里尼奧帶領球隊在三個不同的賽事22天7場比賽中的一場。
但是，在賽季開始後，人們的信心已經被提高了，包括在最近的兩場主場對陣巴塞爾和埃弗頓的比賽，達米安強調了每個隊員的重要性，他們都準備在繁忙的賽程中發揮他們的作用，保持球隊的上升勢頭。
他說:「我們有一個非常好的陣容，25名非常優秀的球員，所以每個球員都很重要，特別是當我們在22天裡有7場比賽的時候。所以每個人都必須準備好，每個人都準備好了。當主帥給我們機會時，我們必須把握住。」
「每次我在場上的時候，我都要盡力去幫助球隊取得勝利。這就是我的心態:每周努力工作，所以如果主教練給了我機會時，我已經準備好了。」
「我們的開局很好，我們踢得很好，所以我希望我們能繼續。要做到這一點，我們就需要努力工作，就是這樣，努力贏得每一場比賽不是件容易的事，但我們已經做好迎接挑戰的準備。」
上賽季紅魔在贏得球隊歷史上第五座聯賽杯的征程始於戰勝低級別球隊—3-1戰勝英甲球隊北安普頓後開始的——達米安認為這對球隊來說是重要的，並作為一個跳板，在歐洲聯賽中取得更大的成功。
「當然，贏得獎盃總是很重要的，因為這是一種非常好的感覺，並且幫助我們繼續努力，達到我們的目標，」這名後衛說。「我認為這給了我們更多的信心，贏得一個獎盃是件好事。」
球隊2010年後第一個聯賽杯冠軍，是在一場激動人心的決賽里3-2戰勝南安普頓後獲得的，曼聯一度以2-0領先被南安普頓追平後，伊布打進了致勝球。
達米安回顧了在國家體育場的盛大慶典，並且希望在17-18賽季里會有更多的冠軍慶典。
「這是一場令人難以置信的比賽，一場非常瘋狂的比賽。但最終，我們贏了，這非常棒，一場精彩的比賽。「當我們勝利的時候，對我們每個人、球迷、俱樂部都是一種很好的感覺，所以我們想要達到我們的目標，在這個賽季贏得更多的獎盃。」
DARMIAN DETERMINED TO KEEP HOLD OF THE CUP
Matteo Darmian believes Manchester United will always compete to win every trophy available and insists there is a determination within the squad to successfully defend the League Cup this season.
The full-back helped the Reds to lift the trophy at Wembley in 2016/17 – one of three pieces of silverware the team won during Jose Mourinho’s prosperous first season in charge.
Speaking exclusively to United Review, the official match programme, the Italian feels there is ambition in the dressing room to go all the way again to claim the first domestic prize on offer this term.
「I think it’s always difficult to defend a title, but we will try,」 he declared. 「We want to win every trophy. When we are on the pitch, we try to win every game, and that’s our main mentality.」
Darmian, who has started two games so far this season, could feature as United enter the competition - now known as the Carabao Cup - with Wednesday's third-round tie against Championship side Burton Albion at Old Trafford.
When asked if it’s always important to get a home draw in domestic cup competitions, he said: 「Yes, of course, to play at home is always important and good. But every game is different and every game is difficult, so we have to be ready, we have to prepare well for the game and we have to win.」
The tie against Nigel Clough’s Burton falls in the middle of a busy spell of seven games in the space of 22 days in three different competitions for Mourinho’s men.
But confidence is high after an impressive start to the season – including convincing home wins against FC Basel and Everton respectively in the last two games – and Darmian emphasised the importance of every member of the squad being ready to play their part during the hectic schedule to maintain the momentum.
「We have a very good squad, 25 very good players, so every player is important, especially when we have seven games in 22 days,」 he said. 「So everyone has to be ready, everyone will be ready. When the manager gives us the chance, we have to take it.
「Every time I』m on the pitch, I try to do my best and try to help the team to achieve victory. That’s my mentality: to work hard during the week, so I』m ready if the manager gives me an opportunity.
「We』ve started very well, we are playing very well, so I hope we can continue. To do that, we need to work hard and that’s it, trying to win every game is not easy but we are ready for that challenge.」
The Reds began last season’s journey to success in the League Cup by beating lower-division opponents with a 3-1 win at League One side Northampton before going on to win the competition for a fifth time – an achievement which Darmian felt was important for the squad and acted as a springboard for more success in the UEFA Europa League.
「Of course, to win a trophy is always important, because it’s a very good feeling and helps give confidence to continue working hard and reaching our objectives,」 said the defender. 「I think it gave us more confidence and it was good to win a trophy.」
The club’s first League Cup triumph since 2010 was accomplished by virtue of a 3-2 victory over Southampton in a thrilling final as Zlatan Ibrahimovic popped up with a late winner after the Reds had been pegged back having led 2-0.
Darmian gave his thoughts on a memorable occasion at the national stadium and hopes there will be more celebrations to come in 2017/18.
「It was an incredible match, a very crazy game. But at the end, we won and it was very good, a great match. When we won, it was a good feeling for us, for everyone, for the fans, for the club, so we want to reach our objective and win more trophies this season.」
