Tottenham Hotspur winger, Gareth Bale, has now set his sights on the upcoming Barclays Premier League 2011/12 season and wants to kick-off the campaign strongly.
Harry Redknapp’s men will begin their season with a tough home fixture against Everton, who finished seventh last season. Tottenham will play their second match of the season against the Barclays Premier League Champions, Manchester United at Old Trafford
– a venue where United almost kept a 100 percent record in the season ended. The Spurs’ third match of the next campaign is at the City of Manchester Stadium against Manchester City, who finished third in the recently concluded season of the Barclays Premier
League.
Bale, who won the PFA Player of the Year award last season, feels that Tottenham will face a tough start to the next season but the Spurs should give their best to start the campaign on a positive note.
The 21-year-old Welsh winger sees every Premier League match as a tough fixture and said, “They are all hard matches but that’s the case when you play any team in the Premier League.”
“Everton is always a tough game and the two Manchester teams are amongst the best in the league, but getting them early might just be good for us.” Bale told Tottenham’s official website.
Tottenham Hotspur shocked everyone with their impressive performances in their debut UEFA Champions League campaign last year.

Madrid ended their European dream.
However, the Spurs had a tough Premier League season relatively and failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League after finishing fifth on the table, six points adrift of the fourth-placed Arsenal.
Bale has stated that the Spurs need a positive start to the next season in order to earn win back the UEFA Champions League qualification.
“Hopefully we can get into our rhythm early and get positive results. If we start well it will make teams sit up and take notice and getting points on the board from those matches would be great for confidence,” added Bale.
With Redknapp’s men failing to qualify for the Champions League, rumours were rife linking star players with moves away from the White Hart Lane. Harry Redknapp, though, is determined to keep hold of his players as he aims for a return to the elite European
club competition.
