BlueStar Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11661/7664682/ Ben Arfa - I have matured France international feels at home with the Toon Army Hatem Ben Arfa has revealed he will not change his maverick tendencies but insists he is adopting a more professional approach to his game. The Newcastle forward has produced the type of dazzling performances in recent weeks - three goals in five matches - that are seeing him finally fulfil his potential. Ben Arfa, however, was renowned in France for his technical ability and playground dribbles. He gave an example of it the other day in training as he went around the goalkeeper, and then waited to beat him again, before shooting wide. His impudence prompted some of his team-mates to scold him but after recovering from his double fracture of the leg, the France international maintains he will not change his game. Professional "I have matured and grown, especially with this long injury but, deep down, I remain the same," he told The Independent. "The other day in training everybody shouted at me because after tricking the goalkeeper I then waited again to trick him again and then shot wide. I know it annoys everyone and I know I won't change. But, it's that kind of football that I like. "However, I am adapting and I am correcting myself to fit into the professional mould because I know I am paid to win matches and not to amuse myself, but learning to adapt doesn't mean I will forget my instinct." As a youngster much was expected of Ben Arfa who at times has struggled with the responsibility that accompanies being a professional footballer. Respected However, at Newcastle, he seems to found a spiritual home and a place where maverick footballers are adored by the public. He added: "I feel right here. I do not want to leave England. This is real football, it is here that you have it, with passion, excitement, and the public. "I have already played in Milan, Madrid and Barcelona but it is here that I feel right on the pitch. And also it is here that the players are respected. "You need to realise and can you believe it that when Newcastle was relegated in 2009, the players did a lap of honour and the fans still applauded them during that last match. "Since I was a young child, everyone is waiting for me to produce. To resist all that, you have to be more solid. The problem is that I often feel I have disappointed more than pleased people."

TaylorJ_01 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I had a dream about Hatem last night. Very detailed. Me and my friend were going to some secret, ticketed event in a place on top of a hill. It was hard to get in so a large black man helped us. There I met Hatem Ben Arfa and Ryan Taylor. Ignoring Ryan, I spoke to Hatem at length, had a good laugh. He gave me a load of training gear that he had with him for some reason. Lukas Podolski turned up with FC Koln for a friendly but that didn't feature in the rest of the dream. Then we had such a fun day out. Went to a massive waterslide and I was too scared to go up so Hatem stayed with me and we ran about a bit. Went for something to eat, too. Once we got back he ditched me but I didn't mind. It was awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hatem is such a complex character, you can easily come to that conclusion in every interview. He speaks at length about his mental state as well as the football culture in the area. Absolutely brilliant that he has taken to our club and our area so much. Credit to AP for finally seemingly to unlock the true HBA potential that we were able to witness a bit last season before the injury, and credit to our medical staff, the one at Clairfontaine and the man himself for continuing to work hard and listen to AP and the backroom staff. Long long may this continue as we have the ability to win any match with this lad on the pitch, he fears absolutely nobody and will run at at any defender, skin any defender and has that takeover the match type of mentality. You pinch yourself a bit sometimes in disbelief that we've got a player of his ability and his ridiculous technique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Ben Arfa is getting some fantastic publicity for the club. We haven't really built the clubs finances up since relegation, we've just cut costs and relied on the increased Sky money but that has to change and Ben Arfa is creating an interest from outside our fanbase that I haven't seen in years and it's all positive.

Those are the sort of dreams you wake up to and immediately try to get back to kip to see if you can 'get it back' - regardless of whether or not you need to be up for work.

Robster Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Or my favourite of Beardsley's goals for us where he does pretty much the same thing (can't remember who it's against, think maybe Portsmouth) Definitely Portsmouth away. One of my favourite Beardsley goals too. Absolute genius skill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Wish I saw Beardley when I wasn't so young. Absolutely love watching old videos of him. Seemed a similar type of explosive talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpeth mag Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I was at the Portsmouth game when Beardsley scored that goal. The train line to Portsmouth was closed and we had to travel via Brighton. We were so late that we had to get off the free bus and get a taxi for the last 20 miles. When we got to the ground the away turnstiles were shut (about 15:40) and we had to go in the home end. We were told it was 0-0 when we were actually one up. Beardsley scored said wonder goal, we cheered and were promptly chased by Portsmouth hard lads until we found the law who saved us. Keegan and Beardsley both scored doubles, Mark Hateley for them with a young Neil Webb in their line up. A good day out in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello It is true he does a very good advertisement for Newcastle. In France, many watch the Newcastle game and I'm not surprised that many game Newcastle are staggered so that the public can watch the games, thanks to TV's Rights Newcastle had a lot of money. Moreover, with a place in Europe as there will be a lot of money. I often go out to bars in Paris, and now the games are often broadcast from newcastle, I saw some French fans who had never be contants Newcastle when Newcastle scored. I even heard one say that the next time it would take a Newcastle jersey with the name of Ben Arfa. I will do the same but on two conditions the first is that next year it remains to Newcastle and plays europe. happy for him but also for the whole team, good luck to be in the top four.

Seems we're getting quite a decent profile in France thanks to our french boys and the manner in which we've performed our business. Can only be good going forward and I hope we can develop a similar reputation in some other european countries too. Think Holland could be next if we get Pieters and Douglas.
