Taarabt: 'The real celebration will be next week'


Adel Taarabt has claimed the full extent of Queens Park Rangers achievements has not fully sunk in yet.
After winning 2-0 at Watford to seal promotion to the Premier League and seal the Championship title the Moroccan playmaker said the real party will be at Loftus Road next Saturday when Rangers host Leeds.
He said: “It’s a fantastic feeling but I don’t think we realise [the full extent of our achievements] yet because the game has just finished and we were not at home so it is only 2000 fans.
I think we will celebrate next week at home.Adel Taarabt
“I think we will celebrate next week at home and for me when I go home and everyone calls me from Morocco I will realise.”
21-year-old Taarabt also took time to pay credit to manager Neil Warnock, a man he says has guided him this year even when he has made mistakes.
He added: “He’s been like a father and he’s always been there for me. At the times when I had a problem or I made a mistake he forgave me all the time.
“He told me ‘I forgive you but try to give it back to me on the pitch’.”
