Adel Taarabt hits back at QPR Harry Redknapp for being called ‘three stone overweight’, and the manager labels him ‘the world professional ever’.

Adel Taarabt hits back at QPR Harry Redknapp for being called ‘three stone overweight’, and the manager labels him ‘the world professional ever’.

Taraabt, who spent the second half of last season on loan at San Siro, scoring four goals in his 14 games in Serie A, was the subject of a scathing attack by Redknapp at the weekend.

“When I was playing at Milan, sometimes Kaka or Robinho weren’t getting in the team,” Taraabt has told The Daily Mail in reply.

“Then I come to QPR, and that’s not to disrespect my teammates because I have a good relationship with them, but I was surprised I was not in the squad.

“I just think that obviously at QPR the fans love me, I love QPR and I love the fans. They are my club. You can’t break the relationship with me and the fans. He wants to get the fans against me.”

Taraabt also compared Redknapp’s training sessions unfavourably to those of Milan.

“The training sessions aren’t the same standard as Milan, or what I would expect under another manager. They are not as intense, the players aren’t as motivated.

“When we played West Ham he told the players ‘you’re not fit, you’re not this, you’re not that’.

“I said ‘the problem is we don’t have any plan in the game, we don’t know how to press as a team. It’s not about just running around, you need to play with your brain’.”

In response to this, Redknapp continued his tirade in an interview with The Sun released today.

“The only reason he has lost weight is because he has had tonsillitis. That’s the only way we could get any weight off of him,” Redknapp has commented.

“He is not fit to play a game, that’s the truth. He is the worst professional I have ever come across and I have been his only ally at QPR for the past three years.

“He doesn’t try and I have protected him for too long.”
