Gareth Bale believes Spurs fans have something to look forward to with the arrival of Roman Pavlyuchenko. The Russian international striker joined us at the end of the transfer window and was on target against Gareth and Chris Gunter's Wales in a World Cup qualifier on Wednesday before all three returned to Spurs Lodge for training on Friday. It was Roman's first day in a Spurs kit alongside fellow newcomer Vedran Corluka from Manchester City. Roman impressed both Gareth and Chris with his movement and strength up front in rain-soaked conditions in Moscow. "He was up front on his own and played well," said Gareth, outstanding himself in both of Wales' qualifying matches in the last week. "He held the ball up well, looked lively and obviously scored the penalty against us in the first half. "Tottenham fans certainly have something to look forward to. "I spoke to him before and after and he's looking forward to playing for Spurs." Gareth suffered personal heartbreak against the Russians when he missed a penalty in the first half but made amends in the second half by setting up the equaliser for Joe Ledley. Russia won it with a goal eight minutes from time and both Gareth and Chris played 90-minute shifts in both matches, Wales winning the first against Azerbaijan on Saturday. "They were both going to be tough games for different reasons," reflected full-back Gareth. "We were expected to beat Azerbaijan but they made it hard for us, they sat in tight and perhaps we should have scored more than the one goal but their keeper was one of the best players on the pitch. "Russia was obviously a hard game as well. They are one of the best teams in the world at the moment. We gave it our best shot but we just fell short at the final hurdle." There was one more question for Gareth - did he feel fit after those two matches with Villa arriving at the Lane on Monday? "I feel fine, I feel fresh - as good as ever. I'll be ready." ============================================================================== Bale相信熱刺迷對Pavlyuchenko有所期待 Roman日前和Gunter,Bale在世界杯預選賽交手 在禮拜五他們都已經回到Spurs Lodge開始練習 Bale說: " 他一個人在前場表現的很好 " " 上半場他持球,視野都有好的表現 靠罰球得分 " " 熱刺迷當然會對他有所期待 " " 賽前和賽後我都有和他交談 他很期待能在熱刺踢球 " 談到Wales一勝一負的表現 " 兩場比賽都有不同的困難點 我們期待可以贏Azerbaijan 但是他們給我們不小的困難 如果不是他們守門員優異的表現 我們應該能進更多球 " " 俄羅斯明顯的是一場硬仗 他們現在是世界上的強隊 我們盡全力表現 但是在最後一刻潰堤 " 問到Bale禮拜一的比賽準備的情況 " 我感覺很好 我從未感覺如此精力充沛 我已經準備好了 " -- Bale在兩場預選賽都是全場最佳 聽說青尻的英文不是不行 他們是怎麼溝通的 XD http://tinyurl.com/4e9e8g http://tinyurl.com/4rwmtf http://tinyurl.com/4wdj9k <- Corluka低調到不行 -- 這麼孤獨的對抗英格蘭足球你可以走阿 大西洋沒加蓋 --
