da winzada777: Tottenham’s summer signing Jan Vertonghen has admitted that he is loving life at White Hart Lane.
da cassino: The Belgium international moved to north London from Ajax in the transfer window, and although he has confessed that it will be a long season, has revealed that he is glad to have switched to the Premier League.
“I think at the end of the season I will need a good vacation! But no, I love it here,” he is quoted as saying in The Telegraph.
“The atmosphere is amazing. There are the best players in the world and we have an amazing team so I am very happy I made this decision.”
Spurs beat QPR 2-1 at the weekend but were losing at half-time and booed by their supporters; Vertonghen understands the supporters’ frustrations.
“It’s frustrating when you can’t play your own game so I understand the supporters. We want to dominate at home and away so the supporters expect that from us,” he continued.
Spurs have Manchester United at Old Trafford this weekend, and the defender is looking forward to facing Sir Alex Ferguson’s men.
“I played at Old Trafford with Ajax last year and it’s an amazing atmosphere. I am looking forward to my first game there with Tottenham and I think we are strong enough to do some good things there. Confidence is high now,” he concluded.
