The Brazilian midfielder, in an interview with Milan News, addressed the recent downturn in Newcastle’s form. He pointed out the absence of key players, including former Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali. When questioned specifically about Tonali, who is serving a ban for illegal gambling, Guimaraes chose not to comment, stating it was not his concern.
Guimaraes emphasized the impact of missing crucial players like Tonali, Botman, and Isak on their performance but refrained from delving into the details of Tonali’s situation, asserting it was a personal matter. Despite the challenges, he stressed the team’s commitment to fighting for their shirt and returning to winning ways.
Newcastle currently sits at the bottom of their Champions League group with two games remaining, one point behind Milan. Guimaraes expressed confidence in the team’s ability to qualify, reflecting on their disappointing performance against Borussia Dortmund. He acknowledged the setback but maintained optimism, stating the team is focused on winning upcoming matches against PSG and Milan to secure qualification.
