新聞來源 - Football365 JOL PREDICTS BIG THINGS FOR BALE Gareth Bale has been tipped to emulate countryman Ryan Giggs on the wing, but Tottenham boss Martin Jol feels the Wales youngster will eventually settle at left-back. Jol has been impressed after testing Bale as a midfielder, and he believes the 18-year-old is learning the responsibilities of being a defender. He was given a chance at left-back against Middlesbrough last week and scored again, his third in three starts. "That was the first time that he played left-back so there will be a lot of progress," Jol said. "But he did well, just 18, scored three goals, made an impact against Boro and before. That is why we bought him. "He can play as a wide player but his best position would be as a wing-back in a 3-5-2, what he does with Wales, but we play 4-4-2. "In the win last week he showed me that he listens but he has great potential." Jol feels Bale is still a work in progress but the 10million deal Spurs agreed with Southampton in the summer looks a good investment at the moment. It was at Southampton where Bale stepped into the limelight by scoring two free-kicks at the start of last season, and he showed his accuracy against Arsenal two weeks ago. "I feel that was his biggest strength with Southampton, his free-kicks, but as a full-back you have to do different things and I feel that he could be one of the best in the Premier League," said Jol. "We've got to work on a few things as with other young players but what he did so far was good." Jol first spotted Bale two years ago playing for Southampton's reserves alongside Theo Walcott, with the pair earning big-money moves to north London. Sir Alex Ferguson was interested in taking Bale to Manchester United to team up with Giggs but conceded in January that Spurs were ahead of them in the race. Bale waited until the summer before signing for Spurs. "It was him who decided which club he was going to," Jol said. "If you buy players, especially the young players, you've got to play them. That is very important. "And I promised his mum as well that he would have a few starts, and we would develop him into a good player." ============================================================================== Bale做為邊翼的表現 已經被認為可以和Giggs競爭 不過Jol認為Bale最終會定位在左後衛 Jol測試把Bale放在中場 而Bale的表現讓Jol印象深刻 Jol也相信Bale正在學著當後衛 Jol說: "第一次把他放在左後衛應該會有很多問題才對 不過他表現的很好" "十八歲 進了三球 對米堡的衝擊 這就是我們買他的原因" "他可以打邊路 最適合他的應該是3-5-2 就像Wales一樣 不過我們的系統是4-4-2" "上週的勝利 他展現他所學的 他有很棒的潛力" Jol感覺Bale仍然在前進 和聖徒的10m交易看上去是很棒的投資 Bale準確的自由球在聖徒時代已經充分展現了 "我感覺他在聖徒最大的成長就是自由球 但是當後衛重要的是防守" "我覺得他可以成為英超最佳" "我們也要幫助其他的年輕球員 到目前Bale做的很棒" Jol第一次注意到Bale其實當時是去看Walcott 曼聯也注意他很久 "要去哪家俱樂部是他自己的選擇" "如果你要買小朋友球員 你就要讓他打 這很重要" "我們將引導他成為一位好球員" -- 說的好 買小朋友就是要讓他打!! 我比較希望Bale可以打左翼 畢竟後面有杓哥,AE -- 我們可以慢慢的了解不握手的原因 那是因為其他19隊的教練都太沒有風度 --
