"I will not celebrate as
I want nothing to come between me and the Newcastle people."
Speaking on his website,
www.nolsolano.com, he said:
The news from me is that I am fit to play. My
hamstring injury has healed and I've been training without any problem
today. Maybe I'll be on the bench, maybe I'll play from the start,
that decision will be made by the gaffer.
There will be extra interest in the game because of my time in
Newcastle, but I will prepare as I do for every game. Even though I talk
of the fact that this is simply another game with a very important three
points available, I have to admit that for personal reasons it is also
very special.
I have so much respect for the Newcastle people, and they will
always hold a special place in my heart. My son was born there and
during my time at the club I was made very welcome. The one regret I
have is that I wasn't able to help win a trophy. Maybe Newcastle will
win the UEFA Cup, they have a good chance - I will be supporting them
and I hope, for the sake of the fans, that they can finally lift a cup.
When I left for Villa I knew the Newcastle fans would understand
my situation. But I was still surprised with their reaction, I received
so many emails to the website and letters to the club, and I'd like to
take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support - it was
fantastic and is appreciated very much.
Looking to Sunday's game, I am a professional footballer and
if selected then of course I will do everything to win the game for
Villa. I want to do well, and some people may say I have a point to
make. All I can say is that if I will do everything on the pitch to help
Villa win the game, but if I score then I will have done the job I am
paid for.
I will not celebrate as I want nothing to come between me and the
Newcastle people.
The fans gave so much me to me and other than playing to the best
of my ability, I will not do anything to hurt or insult them. I know
that Lomana (Lua Lua) reacted to scoring against Newcastle, but I also
know this was not aimed at the fans. He too got on well with the people
and was upset that many took his reaction as an insult against them.
My Newcastle career is in the past and my future is with Aston
Villa. My move here has gone better than I'd hoped for and I've
absolutely no regrets with my choice of club. I've settled in very well
and I'm enjoying my time both on and off the pitch. The only difficulty
has been the injury, but the team have continued to pick up points. Next
year could be very exciting for us, but let's see what happens this
season...there's everything to play for.
