Adel Taarabt said he has been pleased with the progress he has made in the short time he has been at Spurs- both on and off the pitch. Adel joined the Club on loan from Lens in January at just 17 - agreement has since been reached to make the transfer permanent - and, although moving to a new country at such a young age can provide a few shocks, the weather was certainly not one of them, despite being raised in the warmer climes of Marseille. “Lens is in the north of France so it is the same weather as here. I have never had a problem playing in the rain,” said the youngster. “I have been use to living away from my family from a young age. At 11 years old I left to go and play for the French national team in competitions abroad, and lived away from them when I went to Lens. It is actually easier to travel from Marseille to London, than it is from Marseille to Lens.” “When I first arrived here I was kind of scared of the experience but now I feel very settled. The Club is lovely and very family-orientated and obviously that has helped me as well. I have also learnt some English which is good and want to improve next year even more.” Having just turned 18 and now content in his new surroundings, Adel is aiming to increase his first-team game time next season. The teenager impressed in his two substitute appearances in the Premier League for us last season, as well as on the training ground, leading to Manager Martin Jol to describe him as ‘a big talent’. “My first six months have gone well,” considered Adel. “I am very happy. I came on twice against West Ham and Chelsea and I was a sub in the UEFA Cup as well. “I hope next year will be even better. I love being in England and being with Spurs and I hope that the fans will get to see more of me next season and in years to come. I hope they like what they see.” ============================================================================= 最近剛和熱刺簽約的Taarabt非常高興 Marseille出身的他並不會不適應這邊的天氣 "Lens在法國北部 和這邊的氣候很接近 我從來沒有在雨中踢球的問題" "我已經習慣一個人在外 在11歲的時候我就因為踢國家隊比賽離開他們" "之後去Lens也是離家背井 我時常來往馬賽 倫敦 朗斯" "剛來這邊的時候有些懼怕 但是現在我感覺很安逸" "俱樂部非常友善 很明顯的他們會幫助我 我也學了英文 明年希望更進步" 剛轉18歲的他非常滿意現狀 Adel也希望明年能有更多一隊的出場 兩次的替補出場都讓人印象深刻 Jol說他是超級天才 "我前六個月過的非常棒 我很高興對West Ham,Chelsea和Uefa Cup能替補上場" "我希望明年能更好 我愛在英格蘭的時刻和和熱刺在一起的時刻" "我希望明年球迷能看到更多我的比賽 而且我希望他們會喜歡我的足球" -- 這傢伙的發言真不賴!! 他可以考慮往邊路發展 XD -- To Dare is to Bite? --
