More to come from me says goal hero Papiss Cisse

by Lee Ryder, Evening ChronicleFeb 6 2012Comments (14) Recommend

 

PAPISS CISSE handed the Toon Army a heart-warming message after his dream debut for Newcastle United by insisting: "There's much more where that came from."

 

The new number nine took just 57 minutes to open his account in black and white with a sizzling left-foot blockbuster that left Aston Villa keeper Shay Given with no chance.

 

Cisse shone on his Magpies bow but firmly believes he will only get better as he settles in on Tyneside, as Newcastle aim for bigger and better in the final 14 games of the Premier League campaign.

 

After firing United back into a Europa League slot, Cisse – who scored 22 goals in 32 starts for Bundesliga side Freiburg last term – told the Chronicle: “I feel that this can be the first of many to come for me at Newcastle United. It was a really good goal for me.

 

“The aim from now is to keep working hard in training. If I do that I would like to think that I can get more goals like that.

 

“Firstly, I have to work hard and get to know my team-mates.

 

“The aim is to obviously add more goals to the team. And then more goals should come.”

 

 

Yet Cisse revealed that he could not have done it without the incredible backing around him in recent days.

 

The 26-year-old, whose record of 39 goals in the Bundesliga in Germany persuaded United to swoop for his services, is yet to command the English language and former Toon ace Olivier Bernard has been helping the player settle at the club.

 

Cisse was keen to show his gratitude, adding: “I’m happy with my first goal. But I have a lot of thank yous to give out.

 

“Firstly the club for signing me, my team-mates for supporting me since I came here and thanks to all of the supporters who made it so memorable.”

 

Cisse admits that he had dreamed of scoring on his debut and there could not have been a better script as he fired home a wonder strike at the Gallowgate End.

 

The ex-Metz star has had plenty of time to think about his United bow after spending a fortnight with Senegal in Equatorial Guinea after tying up his move to St James’ Park.

 

His country suffered an early exit in the competition, but his agony was quickly replaced by ecstasy on his debut.

 

The Senegal star said: “On my first day when I signed for the club, to score in my first game was one of my aims.

 

“To score on my debut is fantastic. I thank God for that.

 

“I’m just happy that it came on my debut.”

Papiss Cisse blown away by Newcastle fans

PAPISS CISSE has admitted he was "blown away" by the incredible reception he received from Geordie fans on his Newcastle United debut in the 2-1 win over Aston Villa.

 

The ex-Metz and Freiburg striker even joked his rousing reception was so hearty he didn’t need to warm up.

 

The 26-year-old African star was greeted with rapturous applause when merely warming up at the Leazes End during the victory over Villa – before raising the roof at the Gallowgate with a scorching strike that few will ever forget.

 

The new No 9 – who replaced injured striker Leon Best early in the game – enjoyed a standing ovation at St James’ Park. The welcome left him bowled over.

 

Cisse told the Chronicle: “From the moment I started warming up I felt them behind me. I was thrilled with the crowd.

 

“In fact I didn’t feel like I needed to move because the Newcastle fans were warming me up with such a great reception!

 

 

“It’s extraordinary for me to see such an incredible fanbase. I could not be happier.”

 

Cisse’s goal means he joins greats like Les Ferdinand, Alan Shearer, Mick Quinn and Malcolm Macdonald as No 9s who scored on their home debuts.

 

The last player to score on a United debut was Spanish flop Xisco, but Newcastle fans will be hoping for a much greater return from the man from the Bundesliga.

 

Cisse said: “I dreamt about it. But there you have it. It’s been a great moment for me.

 

“It wasn’t in my mind to start the game so early but I was ready to come on. I was just waiting to come on.”

 

Cisse looked comfortable alongside his Senegal team-mate Demba Ba.

 

And he admits his appetite was whetted after witnessing Ba’s early movement in the 2-1 victory.

 

The African star said: “I watched Demba playing and I was growing in confidence and waiting for my entrance.

 

“I didn’t expect Leon to get injured so quickly but I went on and tried the best I could.”
