Tottenham will target De Gea says http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 – English Premier League
Tottenham’s star winger Gareth Bale has come out before his team’s encounter against Manchester United and made it clear that his team mates will target United’s new goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463 as the goalkeeper has shown signs of
uncertainty so far. De Gea was bought by Manchester United in the summer transfer window from Atletico Madrid for around about 18 million pounds.
The Spanish goalkeeper who was praised during his time in Madrid by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Iker-Casillas-c16815 has had a slow start to life in the English Premier League as he made a mistake in Manchester United’s community shield win over Manchester City
which enabled Edin Dzeko to net the Citizens second goal of the match. De Gea was at fault for West Brom’s only goal of the match against Manchester United on the previous weekend as well when he allowed Shane Long’s shot to sneak underneath him. Nonetheless,
United won that match as well through a second half own goal.
Bale will be looking to impress against the Red Devils as he missed most of pre-season with a knee injury along with a large part of the latter half of last season. Bale rose to prominence in the UEFA champions League for Tottenham
Hotspur when he scored a hatrick against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan at San Siro during the group stages of the tournament. This time around, Tottenham are participating in the Europa League under Harry Redknapp’s guidance.
The Welshman said in his latest interview, “It’s obviously going to be nerve-racking for De Gea to go to United and be in the first team, but he showed at Atletico Madrid and with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 that he’s a world-class keeper. If any keeper’s
having a bad time, you’re going to test them and it’s going to be no different. We’re going to go to Old Trafford and give our all and test their whole team.”
Tottenham’s first match of the season which was scheduled to take place against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 last weekend got cancelled so they begin their Premier League campaign against the defending champions at Old Trafford on 22nd August,
2011. Bale will probably start for Redknapp’s men alongside Modric, Huddlestone and Lennon in the midfield region with Rafael Van der Vaart helping out the likes of Jermaine Defoe and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741 up front.
It will be interesting to see whether Redknapp goes with an offensive formation against Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s outfit who were unbeaten at Old Trafford last season. For Manchester United, the match against Tottenhm Hotspur will hold
significant importance as well as they will want to add three more points to their tally to maintain their place at the top of the Premier League hierarchy.
