Egyptian striker Mido spent most of the
last season struggling against injuries. After spending
four weeks of hard work to regain his fitness, Mido
is eagerly waiting the new season's kick off to get
back to scoring ways again.
Speaking to Boro's official page, Mido
admitted his lack of form last season due to frequent
injuries, he promised the fans that his four weeks of
hard fitness training in Egypt will enable him to start
the next season in full fitness.
"I've been doing a lot of hard work
with Nick Allamby and he has done a great job with me,
we were training twice-a-day, every morning and afternoon
for fitness. It's been a hard four weeks but I needed
to come back at a good level of fitness.
"I chose to build on my fitness ahead of anything
else, we had a baby in the summer but my holiday, I
put that to one side to work with Nick and get back
to full fitness.
"I've been looking forward to it all summer and I'm
happy that we're all back and under way now. Though it
was frustrating for me not be be in Portugal.
"Everyone knows that last season everything was
out of my hands, I was injured and fighting injury all
season. When I did get back to play I wasn't fit and
was back injured again."
"It is hard work, it's different work but he's been
doing well with us and hopefully we will get used to his
style of training because it's very different from last
year.
"We were one of the fittest sides in the division
last season and it's credit to the staff here and the
manager wants everything to be even better this season."
"Jeremie Aliadiere, Afonso Alves and Tuncay are all
good strikers, they're different players, but I'm sure
I can fit with all of them as I have the experience and
I can adapt myself to the way my partner is playing.
"It's the way Premier League sides are now, all
four of us offer something different and it will give
different options and credits for the manager to play
with.
"I want to help the side get into Europe. A top
10 would be a reasonable target for us and to achieve
that would be great."
"I hope the fans understand what happened to me last
season and this season I have done everything possible
to make myself fit for the club and now I'm just waiting
for the season to start.
