After making history in 2013 to become the first Chinese team to win the AFC Champions League, five-time Chinese Super League (CSL) champions Guangzhou Evergrande stormed back to the Asian top podium here on Saturday.

在2013年历史性地成为中国第一支取得亚冠冠军的球队之后，五届中超冠军得主广州恒大于周六重新站上了亚洲最高领奖台。

Drawing Al Ahli from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) 0-0 in Dubai on Nov. 7 and winning 1-0 at home, Evergrande presented a brilliant gift to the Chinese fans who had been upset by their national team's poor performance in the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign. The triumph is also a boost to Chinese football.

在11月7日迪拜的客场0比0战平阿联酋的阿尔阿赫利之后，恒大在主场以1比0的比分击败了对手，这一成绩也给了那些因国家队在2018年世界杯预选赛表现糟糕而沮丧不已的中国球迷一个惊喜。本场比赛的胜利也是对中国足球的一种鼓舞。

In Tianhe Stadium, Brazilian striker Elkeson became the hero as his goal in the second half helped his team achieve the glory in front of more than 42,000 fans.

在天河体育场，当巴西射手埃尔克森在下半场打入制胜一球，帮助球队在42000名球迷面前获得胜利之后，他成为了本场比赛的英雄。

Stunned¹ by Western Sydney Wanderers from Australia in the AFC Champions League quarterfinals last year, Evergrande vowed² to regain³ the title from the beginning of this season. Under the guidance of Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari, who replaced Italian Fabio Cannavaro as the head coach in June, Evergrande kept a 22-match unbeaten run before tonight's final duel⁴.

在去年的亚冠联赛被来自澳大利亚的西悉尼流浪者淘汰出局之后，广州恒大从本赛季的一开始就立志重新夺回亚冠冠军这一头衔。在巴西教练斯科拉里--他是在今年6月份替换意大利教练卡纳瓦罗--的带领之下，广州恒大在本场比赛之前取得了惊人的22场比赛不败的战绩。

The AFC Champions League title is also the first continental⁵ trophy⁶ for Scolari since he steered⁷ the Selecao to the Confederation Cup in 2013 on home soil. The 67-year-old Brazilian became another coach who possesses World Cup and AFC Champions League trophy following Italian Marcello Lippi, the former coach of Evergrande.

这次的亚冠冠军也是斯科拉里自2013年带领巴西国家队夺得联合会杯冠军之后的第一个洲际冠军。这位67岁的巴西老人也是继广州恒大前任主教练里皮之后，又一位拿下了世界杯冠军和亚冠冠军的主教练。

Scolari said:" I want to say thank you to all my players for what they have paid and to the football fans for their support which give us a different feeling tonight."

斯科拉里赛后说：“我想对我所有队员的努力付出表示感谢，也要感谢球迷的支持，今天他们的确给了我们非常与众不同的一天。”

The trophy can be seen as a turning point for Scolari after the 1-7 loss to Germany in the semifinals of World Cup in Brazil last year.

这场比赛的胜利，对于斯科拉里自己来说，也会被视作在去年巴西世界杯半决赛上以1比7的比分输给德国队的一个转折点。

When asked about how to go through the nightmare, Scolari said: "Winners will never give up."

当被问到是任何从噩梦中走出来的，斯科拉里表示：“胜利者是永远不会放弃的。”
