In this feature, two of our writers weigh the pros and cons of controversial issues on all things Borussia Dortmund. This time, we centre on team captain Mats Hummels.

本特刊由两位作者对多特蒙德的一切事宜的正反两个方面进行论证。本期我们讨论的焦点是队长马茨·胡梅尔斯。

The 27-year-old’s contract expires in 2017, meaning he’s likely either going to sign an extension or leaving the club in the summer. The 2014 FIFA World Cup winner has admitted to German TV that the decision he’s facing costs him 30 minutes of sleep every night. He seems torn, and so is our panel.

27岁的马茨·胡梅尔斯的合约将在2017年到期，他在2017年的夏天可以选择续约或离开俱乐部。这位2014年世界杯冠军在一次德国电视台的访谈时坦言，自己每晚要花半个小时的时间来考虑这件事。他本人似乎非常纠结，我们两位作者对此也是看法不一。

Yes, he’ll stay.

必留无疑

by Stefan Buczko

“Just look into Marcel Schmelzer’s big, sad eyes that say ‘Do you really want to leave me alone with all this?’” one wants to say to Mats Hummels. After that the decision should be an easy one, but of course it’s not that simple.

希望他留队的球迷可能会这样对胡梅尔斯说，“看看马塞尔·施梅尔策悲伤的大眼睛，那意思就像‘你真的要弃我于不顾吗？’”如果这是真的，那是否离开的决定应该会简单得多，但是很显然这件事远没有这么简单。

However, the strong bond and friendship within in the team is a soft-factor that is not to be underestimated, as Hummels himself often enough underlined how unique it is to enjoy such levels of friendship with his team-mates on a professional football team.

当然，队友间的密切关系和深厚友谊是不容忽视的软因素。胡梅尔斯自己也经常强调，自己非常享受在一支职业足球队中与队友建立起来的深厚友谊，这是独一无二的体验。

Schmelzer is one of those close friends and just did his part, penning a deal until 2021. Schmelzer and Hummels are also part of the players that swore to each other that they would stay together as long as possible. It happened around 2010 and it’s hard to say how valid this “pact” still is, but it still might hold some relevance, so we will add it to the list of pros.

施梅尔策是胡梅尔斯最亲密的伙伴之一，他身体力行，与多特蒙德续约至2021年。施梅尔策和胡梅尔斯还曾经互相发誓，相约要尽可能久地呆在一起。这件事大约发生于2010年，时至今日，很难说这个“君子协定”是否仍然有效，但是它确实与这件事有一定的关联，所以我们认为这一因素将有助于胡梅尔斯留队。

But after all those years it’ll be self-interest versus looking at the bigger picture to some extent.

然而这么多年过去了，在一定程度上，这件事已经变成了在个人情感和广阔前景之间的抉择。

By now Hummels is playing a major role in Borussia Dortmund’s fate. He is carrying the responsibility of the captain’s armband because he completely identifies himself with the club and vice versa – that much is clear after eight years of loyal service.

目前，胡梅尔斯在多特蒙德扮演着十分重要的角色。从担任队长一事中就能够体现——他将自己与俱乐部紧紧联系在一起，反之亦然，这一点在他为球队效力了八年后更加明显。

The question is now whether the club captain is to carry on the legacy he has built so far and retire as a living club legend, as he is one of the faces that are associated with the club’s rise back to the top since 2008.

自2008年起，胡梅尔斯逐步成为帮助球队重返巅峰的中流砥柱之一，现在的问题是，这位队长会选择延续他的荣耀，并以俱乐部传奇的身份退役，抑或带着他目前所创造的成就去到另一个俱乐部。

Going to a different club could tinker with Hummels’ aspiring legend, a move to Bayern definitely would.

加入另一个俱乐部将会改写胡梅尔斯的传奇生涯，如果去拜仁则更是毫无疑问。

But more so, the Germany international is very aware of the negative consequences his departure might bode for the club he helped building with his own blood, sweat and tears over nearly a decade.

进一步来说，对于他辛苦效力，付出血汗近10年的俱乐部，他离开造成的负面影响是显而易见的。

Him leaving the club could have a knock-on effect and see, for example, Henrikh Mkhitaryan leaving, who is still hesitant with his signature on a new deal. Putting a dent in Dortmund’s development is definitely not in Hummels’ interest.

他的离开也会引发连锁反应，比如，亨里克·姆希塔良至今仍在纠结是否签订一份新的合同。阻碍多特蒙德的发展绝对不是胡梅尔斯想看到的。

Hans-Joachim Watzke has said that Dortmund will be at least as strong as this season, if not stronger, but those words are hard to believe without Hummels in that equation. And although Watzke reportedly said that he is prepared to fight for Hummels like he never fought for a player before, Dortmund are lucky that their captain is not out there to make a buck.Otherwise he would have left a long time ago, as there are many other places to earn more than at BVB.

瓦茨克表示，即使多特蒙德在下赛季表现得不会更强，也至少会像本赛季一样强势。但是如果没有胡梅尔斯，这话就很难令人信服。尽管有消息称，瓦茨克表示将会尽全力争取胡梅尔斯——多特蒙德的队长没有远走高飞去赚大钱已经很不错了，否则他早就离队了，他在很多地方都能赚到更多。

However, putting soft-factors like friendship, legacy and playing in the most beautiful stadium aside there is a case to be made about BVB’s legitimate sporting ambitions in the years to come.

然而，不考虑友情、传奇、最棒的球场氛围这些软因素，还有一个因素值得考虑，那就是多特蒙德的野心未来极有可能实现。

Hummels said himself in 2014 that in the end it’ll depend on what a player wants. “For some it’s important to play for a team that embodies a fitting playing style, but is also likeable in sporting and human sense.”

胡梅尔斯在2014年的时候说过，这一目标的实现取决于球员的意志。“对有些人来说，身处一支合适自己踢法的球队里是至关重要的，但是运动理念和人情味也要符合我的要求。”


A cynic could say that this would rule out a team like Bayern, as they are a diving lot, all the while BVB are always among the leaders in the fair play rankings. On a more serious note, Dortmund’s current playing style under Tuchel can only be appealing to Mats Hummels.

一些人也许会讽刺道，（胡梅尔斯）不会选择拜仁慕尼黑，因为他们小动作太多了，而多特蒙德在公平竞赛榜上一直是可以排在前几名的。特别要指出的是，在托马斯·图赫尔执掌下的多特蒙德，其打法是最适合马茨·胡梅尔斯的。

A possession-based style will always suit a strong passer like Hummels, and while he could find that elsewhere as well, one should factor in motivation and satisfaction that lies within building something oneself.

控球打法很适合胡梅尔斯这种强壮的中卫，虽然其他球队也有适合他的打法，但是在做出选择的时候，其中必须考虑到的一点是他自己内心的目标和对球队的满意程度。

While Hummels’ priorities have shifted over the years, one might not only look at the negative aftermaths of Hummels’ departure that he should carefully consider, but also the positive effects his stay may hold.

这些年胡梅尔斯对球队的重要性在不断变化，我们不仅要考虑他离队的负面影响，还要考虑他留下来的积极作用。

Yes, lifting the Champions League trophy has a higher likeliness elsewhere, but it’s not completely out of the picture doing that with Dortmund. BVB are on course of playing the best Bundesliga season in club history, which only shows that things are falling into place at the Westfalenstadion. Hummels knows that he can help pushing Borussia Dortmund closer to the illustrious circle of clubs he is considering a move to as we speak.

的确，另外有一些球队夺取欧冠的可能性更大，但是也不能说多特蒙德完全没有机会。在本赛季的德甲比赛中，多特蒙德创造了俱乐部历史上的最佳战绩，但这只能说明多特蒙德正在渐渐走上正轨。胡梅尔斯知道他能够帮助多特蒙德向顶级俱乐部更靠拢一些，而那些俱乐部也许正是他想去的。

No club in Europe can guarantee a Champions League trophy, even Real Madrid had to wait over a decade for ‘La Decima’. With Hummels on board, Dortmund are going to be a force to be reckoned with under Thomas Tuchel, as they will only gain more consistency in their playing style, which has a lot of merit as this season shows.

没有哪支欧洲的球队能保证在欧冠中夺冠，即使是皇家马德里这样的球队，也努力了十多年才拿到他们的“第十冠”。在托马斯·图赫尔执教，胡梅尔斯留队的情况下，多特蒙德夺冠的可能性更大，他们的球风将会更成熟、连贯，这些进步在本赛季的比赛中已然崭露头角。

Under Tuchel, Hummels has also found back to the top of his own game. There is little doubt that the already world-class centre-back won’t become even a better player under the current coach.

胡梅尔斯在图赫尔手下也重返自己职业生涯的巅峰。毫无疑问，对于胡梅尔斯这种本身就是世界级的中后卫来说，在现任教练的手下他已经接近巅峰了。

So there is a chance that Hummels can achieve his dreams with HIS club. Combined with all the other factors named that should be enough to edge him closer towards a contract extension.

所以，如果胡梅尔斯留队，他可能与他的俱乐部一同实现梦想。同其他因素结合起来，他续约的可能性正在加大。

No, he’ll leave.

必走无疑

by Lars Pollmann

Whether he’ll move to Bavaria to rejoin his boyhood club, or to Barcelona, or Manchester – I think Mats Hummels’ final game for the Black and Yellows will be the DFB-Pokal final against Bayern Munich on May 21.

不论胡梅尔斯是回到巴伐利亚，重新加盟他少年时期效力过的俱乐部，抑或是巴塞罗那或曼彻斯特——我都认为5月21日德国杯决赛对战拜仁慕尼黑将是他最后一次为多特蒙德效力。

The skipper finds himself at a crossroads at the moment. Should he extend his contract once again, chances are he will have spent his entire professional career at Dortmund once he hangs up his cleats, certainly the most significant part.

这位队长此时正处于一个十字路口。如果他选择续约，那么一旦他在多特蒙德地位稳固，他可能整个职业生涯都会待在这里，无疑会成为一个标志。

If he signs an extension until, say, 2021, like Marcel Schmelzer and Sven Bender have, he’d be 32 when it runs out. Of course, he could sign an extension and still leave before June 30 2021, but a move to one of the biggest clubs of the world doesn’t get more likely the older he gets.

如果他像马塞尔·施梅尔策和斯文·本德一样，续约到2021年，那么合约到期时他已经32岁了。当然，他也可以选择续约，然后在2021年6月前离开，但那时他转到世界上任何一支强队所得到的都不会比在老东家更多。

If he doesn’t extend his contract in the coming weeks or months, it’ll be because he’s decided that, after eight-and-a-half years, it’s time to do something different with his career. I couldn’t blame him.

如果他在未来几周或几个月里不续约的话，说明他已经决定在多特蒙德效力八年半后，为自己的职业生涯做出不一样的选择。那我也无法去指责他。

Hummels came to Dortmund in a time when the club were trapped in Thomas Doll’s nothingness. He was there when Jürgen Klopp took over and revitalised the sleeping Black and Yellow giant. He was one of the most important players during the incredibly successful years of 2011 to 2013. He celebrated big wins and suffered big losses with Dortmund. He became a World Champion as a Dortmund player. He was a part of the team that showed an era was over with a remarkably terrible 2014/15 season, in which he first wore the captain’s armband as the incumbent, not a deputy. He currently plays perhaps his best season yet in Thomas Tuchel’s first year in charge.

胡梅尔斯刚来到多特蒙德时，球队正陷在托马斯·多尔的碌碌无为中。之后尤尔根·克洛普接手并唤醒了沉睡的黄黑巨人。胡梅尔斯成为了多特蒙德相当成功的2011-2013这几年中的功臣之一。他经历了球队的大起大落，并以一名多特蒙德队员的身份拿到了世界杯冠军。他作为球队的一部分，当多特蒙德在2014-2015赛季在异常艰难的情况下，他义不容辞地担任队长。托马斯·图赫尔执掌球队的第一个赛季，也许是胡梅尔斯职业生涯中表现最好的时候了。

He’s done his duty at Dortmund. If he decides that now is a good time to move away from Dortmund, he has earned every right to do that.

他在多特蒙德已经尽到了他的责任。如果他认为现在是离开多特蒙德的好时机，那么他完全有权这样做。


如果有一天胡梅尔斯坐在新闻发布厅里，向人们解释作出离开多特蒙德的决定有多煎熬，我不会指责他的。

Hummels is one of the very best centre-backs in the game. Of the top of my head, he belongs in the top five easily. Top five players at their position don’t spend the entirety of their careers at clubs that do not belong in that select group. Fans may hate to hear it, but Dortmund are not a top five club in the world.

胡梅尔斯是最优秀的中后卫之一。在我心目中，他完全可以排在世界前五。他这种水平的运动员不应该一直待在一个与自己等级不匹配的球队中。也许粉丝不愿意听，但是多特蒙德确实不是世界前五的俱乐部。

They’re playing a top five season, no doubt, which is why Hummels’ decision is so difficult. But the 27-year-old has publicly stated that his dream is to one day hoist the UEFA Champions League trophy. He came close with Dortmund, of course, in 2013. But no one knows whether they’ll come that close again anytime soon. There might not be any guarantees, but the odds of winning European football’s biggest prize are significantly higher at the perennial powerhouses.

然而，多特蒙德在本赛季表现出了世界前五的水平大家有目共睹，这才导致了胡梅尔斯在选择上的煎熬。这位27岁的运动员曾公开宣称他的梦想是有朝一日能够举起欧冠冠军奖杯。2013年，他和多特蒙德曾经离大耳朵杯的距离非常之近，没人知道什么时候他们能再达到这个高度。虽然事无定论，但多特蒙德拿下欧洲足球比赛的最高荣誉的可能性与其他队伍相比还是很高的。

I think if he was to extend his contract, he would have done so by now. Not least to lead team-mates by example. Hummels is the face of Borussia Dortmund’s team. He has been for years. He won’t be much longer, I’m afraid.

我认为如果他要续约，仅仅是为了以身作则，他也许早就这么做了。胡梅尔斯是多特蒙德的门面，他已经在多特蒙德效力了这么多年，我恐怕他不会再继续待下去了。
