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對於能加入熱刺感到非常光榮 如果他出場的話 將會是我們英超時代第一位巴西人 之前預備隊有過Rodrigo Defendi,Diego Bortolozzo 但是他們都未能上一隊 Gilberto說: " 首先 能成為熱刺第一位巴西選手我非常高興 " " 我希望我能幫助球隊在英超取得成功 " " 對我來說來到英超是一段新的生活 我將會全力奉獻給球隊,給隊友,給朋友 我想要盡早的踢比賽 " " 我希望能與我的新隊友盡快取得成功 能為熱刺效命我將會變更強 " 在熱刺陣中有Melo在Hertha Berlin的舊識Boateng " 我已經跟Kevin談過兩次 轉來熱刺對他很好 之前在柏林我們一起踢了兩年球 現在我人在這邊 我希望跟這邊的隊友黏合成為團隊 " " 我這幾年一直在電視上看熱刺的比賽 總是很崇拜他們 熱刺在英格蘭是big club 我希望我可以在這邊做的很好 " -- Hutton怎麼都沒發言 感覺他是被逼婚不是很高興 XD 我覺得'big club'可以去選流行語大獎了 -- 問世間 防守阿~~~ 空笑夢 一直被進~~~ --
