Goal.com Adel Taarabt Thrilled With First Start For Queens Park RangersThe Moroccan international was praised by his new coach following the encounter, and received man of the match honours. In his first full start in the English Championship, Adel Taarabt was one of the main contributors in Queens Park Rangers' 1-0 victory over Swansea City on Tuesday. The 19-year-old loanee has wasted no time in showing his worth at his new club after arriving from Tottenham Hotspur last week. Taarabt was voted man of the match under the watchful eye of Harry Redknapp, who was in the stands, and expressed his happiness to liondelatlas.net: โThe fans were encouraging me every time I touched the ball. At certain moments everyone in the stadium seemed to stand up. It made me very happy,โ said an excited Taarabt. QPR coach Paulo Sousa was full of praise for his newly acquired midfielder when he said: โHe brought quality to the team. He helped us get an important victory and is fitting in while playing good football.โ The news will come as a relief to Morocco coach Roger Lemerre, who called up the youngster for the Atlas Lionsโ March 28 World Cup qualifier versus Gabon despite the fact that Taarabt was not getting significant playing time at Tottenham. The move to QPR will undoubtedly be beneficial to the player who forfeited his eligibility to play for France when he made his international debut for Morocco on February 11 in a friendly versus the Czech Republic www.goal.com/en/news/89/africa/2009/03/19/1163892/adel-taarabt-thrilled-with-first-start-for-queens-park-rangers
