索尔斯克亚的纪念赛

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Testimonial Committee are delighted to announce they have agreed in principle with Manchester United that a testimonial match for the Norwegian against Spanish side Espanyol will be played at Old Trafford on Saturday 2 August 2008.

奥莱.甘纳.索尔斯克亚的纪念委员会很高兴的宣布他们与曼联达成协议为挪威人举行一场纪念赛。对手是西班牙人，时间定在2008年8月2日，周六。

The former United striker was forced to retire from the game at the end of the August after a long battle with injuries.

前曼联射手去年8月在与伤病进行了漫长的战斗之后不得不宣布退役。

Solskjaer has since joined the Reds' coaching staff and is looking forward to sharing his big day with the Old Trafford faithful.

退役之后索尔斯克亚就加入了曼联教练组，准备与大家分享他的成功经验。

“I am delighted to be given this game by the club," he told ManUtd.com. "It will be a very emotional day for me, to play one last time at Old Trafford in front of our amazing fans.

“我很高兴俱乐部能为我举办这样一场比赛，”他告诉曼联网站。“这是令我激动的一天，在老特拉福德伟大的球迷面前打最后一场比赛。

"I am going to savour every moment and I hope the fans and Manchester United can also share in my special day.”

“我要享受每一分钟，希望球迷们和曼联也能分享我的特殊时刻。”

Sir Alex Ferguson gave his backing to the match, adding: “Ole is a loyal servant of Manchester United and I can not think of a more fitting tribute than the club to honour Ole in this way.

弗格森爵士也表达了自己的祝福，他说：“奥莱是曼联忠诚的仆人，我想为他举办纪念赛是对他杰出贡献的最合适的褒奖。

"It also gives the fans the opportunity to show their admiration and appreciation for such a well loved player. It will be a fantastic day for everyone."

“这也给了球迷机会来表达自己对奥莱的热爱。那是所有人的美好一天。”

“Ole is one of Manchester United’s true professionals," continued chief executive David Gill. "We look forward to hosting the first pre-season game at Old Trafford in honour of Ole’s illustrious career.”

“奥莱是曼联最职业的球员之一，”CEO吉尔说。“我们在老特拉福德举办的第一场季前赛来表彰他伟大的职业生涯。”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been a long term servant as a Unicef Ambassador and the Committee will employ this opportunity to promote Ole’s Unicef Project Schools of Africa.

索尔斯克亚也长期作为联合国儿童基金会大使，这家基金会也将利用这个机会为非洲建立学校筹款。
