路易斯-斯凱利談簽下新合約
Lewis-Skelly on signing his new contract
麥爾斯·路易斯-斯凱利的槍手旅程才剛開始。
Myles Lewis-Skelly’s Arsenal journey is just getting started.
這聽起來或許有點奇怪，畢竟他已經在俱樂部待了10年
2015年8歲時加入我們的海爾恩學院（Hale End Academy）。
但他自那時起迅速在各年齡層晉升，並在上賽季首次亮相一線隊時立刻留下深刻印象，現在他將目標放得更高更遠。
That might sound strange, considering he’s already been at the club for 10 years - he joined our Hale End Academy as an eight-year-old back in 2015. But having progressed rapidly through the age groups since then, and making an instant impression on the first-team last season, his sights are now set on bigger and bolder ambitions.
在與這支童年球隊簽下長約後，他滿懷期待地展望未來，目標是成為多年來的關鍵球員。
After signing a new long-term contract with his childhood club, he’s eagerly looking towards the future, as he aims to establish himself as a key player for years to come.
「我想留下傳奇」
這位18歲小將在簽約後告訴我們：「我想留下傳奇。我想贏得足球界所有能贏的獎盃。我想在最大的舞台上奪冠，同時保持學習的心態和腳踏實地的態度，這點非常重要。」
“I want a legacy,” the 18-year-old told us after putting pen to paper on his new deal. “I want to win everything there is to win in the game. I want to win trophies on the biggest stages whilst being a person that's always learning and stays grounded, which is so important.”
上賽季，麥爾斯在各項賽事中出場39次，並在對陣曼城Manchester City的主場5-1大勝中攻入了他的首個成年隊進球。
他的成年隊首秀是在幾個月前的客場比賽，於伊蒂哈德球場Etihad Stadium作為後期替補登場，時間距他最新生日僅幾天。從那一刻起，他便一路向前，毫不回頭。
Myles played 39 times in all competitions last season, scoring his first senior goal in the 5-1 home win over Manchester City. His senior debut had come a few months earlier in the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium, as a late substitute, just a few days before his latest birthday. He has not looked back since that moment.
「我現在肯定更有經驗了。」他回顧自己的成長說：「我從比賽中吸取了很多經驗——包括正面的時刻和我犯過的錯誤。我現在絕對更準備好迎接下一個賽季。我只想繼續學習和進步。」
“I'm definitely more experienced now,” he says, looking back on his development since. “I know I've taken a lot of experience from the games - about the positive moments, the mistakes that I've made. I'm definitely more ready now for the next season. I just want to keep learning and keep improving.”
這個突破賽季對他來說絕對難以忘懷，那過去12個月中，麥爾斯自己認為最難忘的是什麼？
His breakout season is certainly a campaign he will never forget, so what are Myles’ own highlights from the past 12 months?
「首先是主帥阿特塔（Arteta）對我的信任。如果沒有他把我定位為左後衛，我不會有今天，我非常感激他，永遠感激他。至於比賽場上，我會說是北倫敦德比（North London Derby），還有我奶奶在場邊支持。我是阿森納球迷，所以我知道這對他們有多重要。」
“First, it's just the manager putting trust in me. Without him seeing me as a left back, I wouldn't be here, so I'm fully grateful and forever grateful to him. In terms of on the pitch, I'll say the north London derby and my grandma being there. I'm an Arsenal fan, so I know how much it means to them.
「我經歷了許多學習經驗，也有很多對我職業生涯有利的時刻。我只想繼續學習，現在感覺自己更有準備迎接新賽季。」
“I’ve had a lot of learning experiences I've come across and ultimately good moments for my career. I just want to keep learning and I feel more prepared now going into the new season.”
麥爾斯的新合約簽訂於他2023年10月與阿森納簽下第一份職業合約兩年後。當他在酋長球場（Emirates Stadium）與親友們一同簽字時，難掩喜悅：「首先，我感到非常驕傲和開心。」他笑著說：「雖然這些話很簡單，但我覺得它們總結了我簽約這家俱樂部的心情。我是球迷，這就像夢想成真。」
Myles’ new contract comes two years after he signed his first-ever pro deal with us in October 2023, and he could not hide his joy at putting pen to paper – surrounded by friends and family – at Emirates Stadium: “First of all I’m so proud and happy,” he grinned. “I know those words are simple, but I think they sum up how I feel signing for this club. I’m a fan and it’s like a dream come true.
「除了我的家人，阿森納的球員和工作人員是我待得最久的人。我住在北倫敦，這裡就是我的一切。」
“Apart from my actual family, the players and the staff from Arsenal - that's who I've spent the longest time with. I live in north London, so everyone and everything's here.”
麥爾斯憑藉驚人的表現，入圍了職業足球員協會（PFA）年度最佳青年球員獎，同時他也成為英格蘭成年隊國腳，持續展現他在海爾恩學院時期所培養的標準。今年，他更獲得了由學院經理皮爾·莫特薩克（Per Mertesacker）頒發的「強力年輕槍手獎」（Strong Young Gunners），強調他是下一代阿森納球員的榜樣。
Myles is among the PFA Young Player of the Year nominees following an incredible season in which he also became a senior England international, as he continues to set the standards that were instilled in him during his days in the Hale End Academy. He was also presented with a Strong Young Gunners award by academy manager Per Mertesacker this year, underlining his status as a role model to the next generations of Arsenal players.
「我甚至不會說自己是榜樣。」麥爾斯說：「我只是體現了海爾恩的價值觀並成功走出來。我還有很多年要走，如果我能繼續保持謙虛、做好人，這對我來說是最重要的。」
“I wouldn't even say I'm a role model,” Myles said. “I'd just say that I've embodied the values of Hale End and come through. I've still got a lot of years ahead of me, so if I can keep staying humble and being a good person, that's the most important thing to me.
「當然，看到前輩們的成就是一種榮耀，也讓人感到謙卑。現在成為那份名單的一部分，我很感激。對我來說，工作不會在這裡停止，還會繼續下去。保持當下的專注對我很重要，每天成為最好的自己是我的目標。」
“Of course, it's an honour seeing everyone who's come before me. It's very humbling to see. Just being a part of that list now, I'm grateful. For me, the work doesn't stop here. It continues. Just staying in the present moment is important for me and being the best person I can be every day, that's the goal.
「我對自己還有更多期望。我想達成更多目標，想要更上一層樓。從個人角度來看，我想要更多，為自己、為球隊，也想繼續學習，就像我之前說的。成長為一個更好的人，成為隊友們最可靠的夥伴。」
“I still have more expectations for myself. I want to achieve more. I want to strive higher. In terms of a personal standpoint, I just want more for myself, more for my team and to keep learning, as I keep mentioning before. Just growing as a person and the best person I can be for my teammates.”
最後，麥爾斯對阿森納支持者說：「謝謝你們一直支持我，陪伴我們。繼續支持我們，我知道你們會的，我們會為這家俱樂部帶來榮耀。」
And finally, Myles finished his interview with a special word to the Arsenal supporters: “Just thank you for having my back for everything. Keep staying with us. I know you will and we're going to bring glory to this club.”

「旅程跟終點哪一個比較重要？不是旅程，也不是終點，是最美妙的夥伴。
各位我很感激有你們，你們有很特別的東西，這東西一定要是我們的核心，
我不知道要怎麼做，但你們身為一個團體，你們有能力傳遞能量，
一上場就鼓舞球迷吧。只要有熱情決心，讓大家看你們有多在乎，
再傳遞、再上前、再進攻，帶著勇氣和信念踢球，然後他媽的贏球。」
Mikel Arteta
