Newcastle presented Bruno Guimarães this Monday. The Brazilian spoke about his departure from OL and his very high ambitions with the Magpies.
First big oral. This Monday, Bruno Guimarães (24) was officially presented by Newcastle. Flagship rookie of the winter, the midfielder, snatched from Olympique Lyonnais for nearly €50 million including bonuses, showed all his motivation. “I am very happy, I thank the supporters for their message, I hope we can have a great second half of the season. I’m happy, involved, always been my dream to play in the Premier League. It’s a traditional club, historic, with fiery supporters, a very interesting project. I’m happy to come to this club.”, he confided before continuing.
“The project won me over. We are going to become a stronghold of world football. Lyon was going through a delicate moment because of the Covid. I have never hidden my dream of discovering the Premier League.. Aware of the conditions in which he arrives (the Magpies are 19th in the standings), the international Auriverde (4 selections) says he is ready for combat. “I’m 100% focused on keeping the club going, we know it will be tough, but we have a good team, we’ve strengthened a lot this winter. I want to be at the Cup at the end of the year, the supporters can be reassured, I will give everything for the club., he blurted out.
Win the Champions League!
The 2022 Cup in Qatar is not the only objective of Carioca. “I don’t like to lose, losing annoys me, I’m obsessed with winning. The team will fight for titles in the future, to win the Champions League. It’s a great meeting between two ambitions.”, he hammered, impatient to discover St James’ Park and the Toon Army, keeping them a promise. “I want to increase my stats. I am not attacking. I have to give the ball to the attackers in good conditions. The fans can expect hard work from me and good passes for the forwards. But let it be clear, I am not an attacker!, he launched before making the presentations.
“I am an intelligent player, who likes to play the team. I prefer to play short, but I also have a good long game, I recover balls, I wet the jersey, I help partners and I’m not afraid of anything.. Delighted with the welcome received within the group, Bruno Guimarães made himself available to Eddie Howe to start his English adventure as soon as possible. And why not this weekend for the reception of Everton (24th day of the Premier League).
