Gilberto says it will be a real honour to become the first Brazilian to represent Tottenham Hotspur. The full-back with 27 caps to his name for the five-times World Cup winners completed his switch from Hertha Berlin to White Hart Lane on Thursday. Once he makes his debut, Gilberto will be our first Brazilian international in Premier League action – recent Brazilians in the reserve squad including Rodrigo Defendi and Diego Bortolozzo didn’t make that step. “First of all, for me, it will be a great pleasure to be the first Brazilian footballer to play for Tottenham Hotspur,” smiled the 31-year-old in his new surroundings at Spurs Lodge. “I hope I can help make the team successful in the Premier League. “It’s a new life for me to come to play in the Premier League and I will do my best for the club, for my new team-mates and friends. I want to play as soon as possible. “I hope to have success with my new team-mates, to have it quickly and I will be a strong as I can for Tottenham Hotspur.” Gilberto – who played at the Lane for Brazil in the friendly against Wales in September, 2006 – had a good friend to call for an insight into his new club with Kevin-Prince Boateng taking the same path from Hertha Berlin. “I’ve spoken to Kevin a couple of times, it was great move for him as well and I played with him for two years at Hertha Berlin. Now I’m here I hope to gel with all my new team-mates and that’s how we can develop as a team. “I’ve watched Spurs play on TV over the years and always admired them. It is a very big English club and I hope to do well here.” ============================================================================== Melo对於能加入热刺感到非常光荣 如果他出场的话 将会是我们英超时代第一位巴西人 之前预备队有过Rodrigo Defendi,Diego Bortolozzo 但是他们都未能上一队 Gilberto说: " 首先 能成为热刺第一位巴西选手我非常高兴 " " 我希望我能帮助球队在英超取得成功 " " 对我来说来到英超是一段新的生活 我将会全力奉献给球队,给队友,给朋友 我想要尽早的踢比赛 " " 我希望能与我的新队友尽快取得成功 能为热刺效命我将会变更强 " 在热刺阵中有Melo在Hertha Berlin的旧识Boateng " 我已经跟Kevin谈过两次 转来热刺对他很好 之前在柏林我们一起踢了两年球 现在我人在这边 我希望跟这边的队友黏合成为团队 " " 我这几年一直在电视上看热刺的比赛 总是很崇拜他们 热刺在英格兰是big club 我希望我可以在这边做的很好 " -- Hutton怎麽都没发言 感觉他是被逼婚不是很高兴 XD 我觉得'big club'可以去选流行语大奖了 -- 问世间 防守阿~~~ 空笑梦 一直被进~~~ --
