UEFA Club Midfielder of the Year http://www.uefa.com/competitions/supercup/finals/newsid=740246.html The UEFA Club Football Awards are traditionally held on the eve of the UEFA Super Cup, the traditional European season curtain-raiser in Monaco. Voted for by the head coaches of the 16 sides which reached the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, AC Milan's Clarence Seedorf was named best midfielder last year. Here are the nominees: 有发最神中场球员评选中、、、都是英超人 Michael Essien (Chelsea FC) Essien played just about everywhere for Chelsea last season. Right-back, centre-half, all across the midfield – the only constant was the Ghanaian's indefatigable commitment and determination. He was sorely missed in January when on African Cup of Nations duty but Essien came back with aplomb and was rewarded for his endeavour in July when he signed a new five-year contract. 切尔西的爱心 Cesc Fàbregas (Arsenal FC) The 'old before your time' epithet is typically used in a derogatory fashion but in Fàbregas' case it is rare admiration. The departure of Thierry Henry in summer 2007 heaped even more expectations on his young shoulders but the 21-year-old took it in his stride. His late goal against AC Milan sent the Gunners through to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and while Liverpool halted that run, the Spaniard's thirst for silverware was sated at UEFA EURO 2008™. 兵工厂的fabulous、、、法布雷加斯 Steven Gerrard (Liverpool FC) "Of course everybody knows I wanted Gerrard at Chelsea," José Mourinho said recently. "Why wouldn't I?" It summed up the Liverpool man. Marrying typical English passion with great technique and an inherent knack of coming to the fore when he is needed most, the 28-year-old is a manager's dream. In Liverpool's first game of the 2007/08 campaign he curled in an 87th-minute winner against Aston Villa FC, his first of 21 goals – including a run of scoring in seven successive games – during another productive season. 红军队长杰拉德 Frank Lampard (Chelsea FC) The term emotional rollercoaster does not do justice to Lampard's season. The 30-year-old became only the eighth player in Chelsea's history to score 100 goals in February, moving on to 110 by the end of a campaign riddled by niggling injuries. He suffered the loss of his mother in April but made himself available for the second leg of Chelsea's UEFA Champions League semi-final against Liverpool, scoring a last-gasp penalty as the London side won through to the final for the first time. He scored again in Moscow as Chelsea were denied. 蓝狮隐形侠兰帕德、、、不隐形的时候真的很威风 Paul Scholes (Manchester United FC) For so long the inventive fulcrum of Sir Alex Ferguson's side, Salford-born Scholes has reinvented himself in a deeper role and arguably turned in one of the best seasons of his career. Sitting in front of the back four and dictating the play with his incisive passing, the midfielder chalked up his 100th UEFA Champions League appearance in the semi-final first leg against FC Barcelona. He made his most telling contribution of the campaign in the second meeting, however, scoring the only goal of the tie. 曼联的史科尔斯，他完成了参加欧冠决赛的宿愿 -- ██ ▂▂▂▂▂ █ ◣ ▄ 【★ ██ I▓I █████ ◆▄ ██ ▆▆▆▆▆ █ ◤ ▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄EURO 2008 ▄ ◎ ▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄ █████ ▄▄▄▄▄6/07-6/29 ▄ --
