新聞來源 - Sky Sports Bent eyes Boro start Tottenham striker Darren Bent is ready to take his impressive pre-season form into the new Premier League campaign. The forward netted his ninth goal in the space of a week and his 11th of pre-season as he helped Spurs win the Feyenoord Jubilee Tournament with a 3-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund on Sunday. And with Robbie Keane having departed for Liverpool and doubts surrounding the future of Dimitar Berbatov, Bent insists he is happy to step into the fold, if called upon by manager Juande Ramos. Tottenham kick-off their 2008/09 Premier League season at Middlesbrough on 16th August and Bent, who came in for criticism last season as he struggled following a ￡16.5million move from Charlton, is hoping to feature. "It is always nice find the back of the net, but obviously the real work starts at Middlesbrough in a couple of weeks," he told Sky Sports News. "It has been a good pre-season and if I'm called on for the first game of the season, I'll be ready." Meanwhile Tottenham assistant manager Gustavo Poyet has hinted that Bent could be in line for a place in the first XI at The Riverside. "He has been on fire," Poyet added. "We keep saying to him, 'don't spend all the goals in pre-season, keep a few for the season'. "But it is good. Strikers need to score goals. He didn't play a lot last year, but he is playing week in, week out now." And when asked if Bent could start against Boro, Poyet added: "Why not? He has been the best striker (in pre-season). He has got a chance." ============================================================================== 達人準備將他季前賽的衝擊帶進英超賽場 Bent說: " 能找到進球的感覺總是很棒 但是對米堡的比賽才是真正的開始 " " 如果開幕戰我能獲得先發的機會這會是一個很棒的季前 我準備好了 " Gus也肯定他的表現 Poyet說: " 他的狀態真的很棒 我們一直告訴他'不要在季前把球進完留一點在球季' " " 但是前鋒能進球還是一件好事 去年他的機會不是很多 但是現在他每個禮拜都有上場 " 如果達人要求先發的話 " 為什麼不 他是我們季前最強的前鋒 他已經得到了好機會 " -- 果然大家都擔心他在季前把所有進球額度用光 XD -- Ｔo Dare is to do! --
