Steven Pienaar<\/a> is looking forward to starting a new season with Tottenham<\/a> after finding it hard coming straight into the club’s push for European football.<\/span><\/p>\n

After battling for a place in the squad during an injury plagued five months, Pienaar only made 11 appearances for the North London club but still feels he has built a foundation to become a key player for Spurs next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pienaar told the club\u2019s official website: \u201cOf course when you join in the middle of the season you have to get used to your surroundings and the players, so the first five months have been about getting used to everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully it will be a new start for me during pre-season and I will give it my best shot next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m at an advantage because in the games I\u2019ve played I\u2019ve got used to the players and the way they play.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn pre-season I\u2019ve got a better chance because I know everyone so I just have to go out and push from the start.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Pienaar feels confident in both his and Tottenham\u2019s style of football, and says he is happy to play in for the White Hart Lane club.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe squad is good, it\u2019s a good footballing team and the players are friendly, so I\u2019m happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important when you play in a footballing team to enjoy the ball. It\u2019s like your own child, you have to take good care of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

“That\u2019s what the team is doing – they want to enjoy the game and it\u2019s what I like also.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
