北京时间6月22日凌晨，英格兰队在欧锦赛小组赛的最后一场比赛中以4-2力克克罗地亚队顺利晋级八强，在比赛开始前，欧文通过欧文中文站在搜狐网上和球迷进行了交流，回答了搜狐网友的一些提问。以下是欧文回答的部分提问：

　　1、如果时机成熟，你会来中国吗？

　　当然，我非常愿意造访中国，但是现在我还不知道英格兰国家队和利物浦在今年夏天有没有访华的计划。据我所知，中国是一个古老的国家，那里是旅游圣地，文化气息浓厚。那里的球迷都很狂热，而且现在有自己的职业联赛。

　　2、你认为哪知队伍将最后获得本届欧锦赛的冠军，哪位射手将穿上最佳射手的金靴？

　　现在很难说哪支球队将获得冠军，法国队在预选赛阶段战绩非常出色，仅仅丢掉一场比赛，那场比赛是对捷克。而捷克的战绩更加出色，他们在预选赛中一场未输。此外，荷兰队众星闪耀，个人而言，我非常欣赏荷兰队的打法。本次欧锦赛葡萄牙是主场，想打败他们将是非常困难的一件事情，而且，斯科拉里手中有一批经验丰富，让人敬佩的球员。瑞典队同样不可小视，在3月与英格兰的热身赛中，他们的表现让我大吃一惊。他们很可能将再次让人们“吃惊”。当然，还有英格兰。英格兰目前的年龄搭配非常合理，老、中、青队员在队中都有自己的位置，而且现在队友们斗志高昂。

　　我想获得金靴的射手一定来自走到最后的几支球队中的一支。维埃里、范尼、亨利和特雷泽盖都可能问鼎，当然，我也同样有机会。

　　3、对你的前辈希勒你如何评价？

　　希勒是一位伟大的射手，在他面前没有什么样的球打不进去。他既可以强行突破，也可以在禁区内抢点得分。而且凭借出众的技术和个人能力，在禁区外他还有一脚远射功夫。回顾他的职业生涯，他作为球员可谓事业有成，而且现在还征战在最高水平的联赛，在为纽卡斯尔效力。同时，他还是英格兰历史上一位伟大的“足球使者”。

　　以下为欧文和网友交流原文：

　　1. If circumstance permits, will you visit China with England or Liverpool?

　　I'd love to travel to China - I do not know of any immediate plans for either Liverpool or England to visit China, but I've heard it’s a great place to tour with a beautiful culture, the fans are amazing and they are really starting to establish themselves on the football scene.

　　2. Which team do you think will be the champion in Euro 2004? And who will be the best scorer?

　　It’s difficult to identify any single favorite for the championships. France have a fantastic record in the lead-up to the competition only losing a single game and that was against a very good Czech Republic side who like France didn't lose a game in the qualifying.

　　Additionally Holland have very talented players and I like there style of play, Portugal as hosts will be tough to beat they have a number of experienced and exciting players. Sweden are also an exciting prospect and from their performance against England in March they look like they could be a bit of a surprise package.

　　In that group I would also have to mention England, I think we have a great mix of young, exciting and experienced players and have strength across the field.

　　I would think that the top scorer is likely to come from one of the finalists. Forwards such as Christian Vieri, van Nisterooy, Henry and Trezeguet will be there or there abouts, and I hope to be up there too!

　　3. Would you please comment on your predecessor Alan Shearer?

　　Alan is a phenomenal striker there's nothing he can't do - he scores from inside the box with headers or tap ins or he can score fantastic strikes from outside of the box showing brilliant skill and ability. He has had a brilliant career and continues to play at the highest level for Newcastle.

　　He has been a great ambassador to the game for England

　　本场比赛结束后，欧文将继续和网友进行交流，欢迎网友踊跃提问，和欧文一起分享胜利的喜悦！！！
