February 26, Newcastle right back Trippier accepted the Guardian reporter Louise Taylor before the League Cup final
‘s interview.
Regarding whether to use any means in order to win, use some “black magic”.
“I love it. The best for me is Stefan Savage from Atletico Madrid. He pulls people’s hair a lot, even in training. It’s crazy, but I love it
All this. Of course, rival fans won’t like it, but I think it’s good. I don’t understand why everyone is raving about it: it’s good!
I’ve been through a lot of that in Spain, those stalling fouls are really about when to slow the game down.
If the opponent is in the lead, of course you want to kill the game.
You’re not going to allow them to quickly say: ‘Go ahead.
‘Some teams have been unhappy with us this season, but the point is we’ve got to be smart about it.
”
“If we need it on Sunday, of course we will use it. Manchester United are in great form and we will try to win as much as we can. If you want to be successful, you have to be shrewd. You have to play every game at the right time.
The game, you have to know when to slow down. Look at Real Madrid and see how successful they have been over the years. Their players like Sergio Ramos and Marcelo are the best and they won
everything.”
About Simeone
“Diego is an unbelievable coach and one of the biggest things I learned at Atletico is don’t mess with him or you’ll fuck off. I see that a lot, I did it away at Milan.
It’s not pretty, but it’s about respect – Diego Simeone gets respect from every player, whether they’re in the team or not. He also has a good attitude towards those who aren’t playing.
I learned a lot from him…my defense, my defensive positioning, going to a different country, matured me.
Joining Atletico Madrid was a great experience.
I’m so glad I went there.

About Eddie Howe
“I have to thank the manager for signing me at Burnley, we’ve had a connection and a relationship and I’m so proud and honored that he gave me a chance to make history at Newcastle. He’s an incredible manager.”
about family
“My three brothers will still go to Old Trafford and support Manchester United on Sunday if they don’t play Newcastle. My family is all Manchester United but hopefully they will support us at Wembley
I.”
Trippier believes Sunday will be the third lucky day.
Although he won La Liga with Atletico Madrid in 2021, his two important finals – Tottenham’s 0-2 Champions League loss to Liverpool in 2019 and England’s penalty kick loss to Italy in the Euro 2020 final
— all ended in disappointment.
“Pain is painful…England’s defeat was the most painful. But I can’t go into Sunday’s game with negative thoughts. From my experience, people can indeed think too much in the ‘final exam’.”
Even someone as levelheaded as Trippier admits the city expects a lot from Newcastle, who were last celebrated winning the Fels Cup in 1969.
He smiled and said: “Taking my kids to school the other week, the headmaster came out and said ‘thank you’, and the other dads were so excited. The people here are so passionate and grateful. We were in the cup final, we
We are in a good position in the league, but we want to be like Manchester City and Manchester United, we want to play in the Champions League.
Hopefully this is the start of more cup finals to come.
I certainly believe this club has a great future.
And it already has the perfect head coach.
