Optimistic Nut

Recommended Posts

Author of a remarkable debut as well for France with his new club Newcastle, Yohan Cabaye no lack of confidence this season. And even if the former Lille does not claim anything, it does more than stamping in the starting blocks.

 

Yohan, how is your fitness for Newcastle?

All right, really. I am delighted with my debut, and more generally of my choice. The coach made ​​sure that it works perfectly for me. I am very pleased. As the days pass, the more I am confirmed in my choice.

 

What attracts you there?

This is the English league, just (smile). There is a special atmosphere, both on and off the field. I also like their mentality, how they see football, how they live. Every day in training, I want to do to prove to them that I level, I am ready to do great things to thank them for their confidence in me.

 

How to play in the Premier League right for you?

Yes, totally. This was one of my criteria when I decided to go there. I asked the coach how this would happen if he were playing in a typically British or not. He told me that with me it would change and he wanted the ball often goes by me and the ground. That's what he tries to explain to my partner and this is taking place slowly. I look forward also qu'Hatem (Editor's note: Ben Arfa) return from injury to evolve with it.

 

It's been almost two months you're there. Already feel a change in your game?

Yes. To be good, I had to change. At the level of intensity is enormous. You have to be focused from start to finish. Just last week I played in the Carling Cup against a D3 and had to go through the extension to qualify. And during the game, the intensity was there from beginning to end, there was no time-out. And three days later he had put this in the league. They do not care if we played in the week. For them, always be on top all the time. It makes me grow.

 

In terms of physical impact, is it really harder in League 1?

Yes. The derby at Sunderland was a real war for example.

 

How do you feel this difference in status that you have a club where you are a leader in the field, and select where you have everything to prove?

I saw him very naturally. I take everything one wants to give me. I have nothing to claim. I try to be up when I'm on the ground to show that next game, I can maybe have a little more. And so on. I try to make a more important place gradually.

 

Between your first start in Blue in Ukraine and your entry against Chile, feel a rising power on a personal level?

Yes. At first I was probably a little shy. But I tell myself that if I'm here is that the coach has confidence in me and I have no right not to give him. The coach regularly calls me and it honors me. I am ready to fight to recover any minute of playing time and even though right now, so good for me, I know I should not rest on my laurels.

 

The physical dimension that you have found in England can it help you in the France team?

Yes. It is true that in the three post-season games for France, I found the same style of physical density, intensity of the effort to repeat that since I started in Newcastle. It's good to learn in English and arrive in a rhythm selection.

 

What kind of game you expect in Albania?

Personally, I do not know this team. I know their results, I know they have strengths, that the atmosphere will not be easy to manage. This will be a tough match, which will require that we printed our style of play from the start to show them that we came to win and nothing else. And if they want to impose the physical challenge, it will respond and do not escape.

 

And so, you are ready for it ...

Yes, more than ever (smile). I'm ready to go into battle.

At the end of the season I bet this is the player we are all most pleased to have on our books. Look at the potential quality in 2 years time when theese new players in the new 5 year plan has bedded in. Obv Barton, Nolan, Smith era is over. France has arrived, with Santon future lb/rb for italy playing for us we will be massive if we can build on this. Get a high class center forward, some more quality in depth I bet we can challange for a top 6 spot in 2 years time.
