TARABAT;NATAKA KUWA MESSI WA AC MILLAN

Adel Taarabt has voiced his admiration for
Lionel Messi and aims to become as important
to AC Milan as the Argentine is to Barcelona .

The 24-year-old has impressed at the San Siro
side since joining the club on loan from QPR,
after an unsuccessful temporary spell at
Fulham before the winter break, and he's keen
to earn himself a permanent move to Clarence
Seedorf's side.
"I am not surprised with my performances at
Milan so far. I know what I can do and I feel
like an important player at Milan," Taarabt told
La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I want to become the Messi of Milan. Players
like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are an
inspiration. I am not at their level yet, but it's
my objective to get there.
"I still have to prove myself, but I believe in
my own qualities.
"When Milan signed me, I told myself that I
have to grab this opportunity with both hands.
I have already thrown away four years and
cannot afford to waste any more time.
"I have little time to convince Milan, but I
want to take this chance."
