Hoyte ready for challenge
By Steve Stammers, Evening Standard
1 December 2004
The next six days for Justin Hoyte could hold the key to a future that
he hopes will be as bright as the diamond stud in his left ear.
Tonight, in front of about 60,000 fans at Old Trafford, Hoyte will be
part of Arsene Wenger's Mothercare XI in the Carling Cup quarter-final
against an equally youthful Manchester United.
A good performance should put the 20-year-old in pole position to
replace the suspended Lauren against Rosenborg in next Tuesday's vital
Champions League clash at Highbury.
And if all goes well, there is the prospect of a new contract. But Hoyte
took a strictly one-step-at-a-time approach as he previewed the
immediate future.
Hoyte, whose mother Wendy ran in the British sprint relay team at the
1976 Olympics, said: "To be honest, all I am focusing on is the game
at Old Trafford.
"Rosenborg? That is up to the boss. Yes, it could be a good six days
but I am just looking to have a good Wednesday night first. Then we
will see what happens."
So far this season, he has looked assured as the Arsenal young guns
have reached the last eight by beating Manchester City and Everton.
His immediate target is a semi-final place - but he is one of several
youngsters who may be given their chance in the Premiership if Arsenal's
injury and suspension problems begin to bite.
Whether they will be able to handle the step up remains to be seen -
but they certainly won't be intimidated.
One incident in the 3-1 win over a full-strength Everton in the last
round illustrates the point.
Hoyte was involved in a touchline confrontation with the experienced
and considerably older Kevin Kilbane. The Republic of Ireland international
turned round to go head-to-head with Hoyte - but he did not budge an inch.
Hoyte explained: "Just because we are young, we are not going to be
pushovers."
So if the tackles - or pizzas come to that - are flying around tonight,
expect Hoyte and his young cohorts to stand firm. And success can only
help his chances of securing a new deal to replace the one that runs out
at the end of the season. "I want to stay here," he said. "It is never
going to be easy at a club like Arsenal but I knew that when I signed.
You have to look to Ashley Cole as a role model. He gives hope to everyone.
You have to show the desire and the enthusiasm that he showed. It is hard
here but to play for Arsenal is what I have lived for. I only ever wanted
to play here. You just do everything you can to make it.
"I have to be a better player through being here - training with World
Cup winners or European Championship winners every day. But you can never
know what will happen.
"If you are not kicking on the door at a certain age, you may have to move
on. But the ambition is to stay."
