The Newcastle United Captain on PSR…

“I think that, to be very honest, the matter of the financial fair play [PSR], after it was created, with Newcastle United with new owners, got in the way of a lot of things here.

“We had situations where we had to sell players when we didn’t even want to.

“I think that this season we managed to balance the financial fair play well.

“We can spend, we can hold onto players, we can do what the management sees fit, I say ‘we’ but I can’t do anything.”

Bruno Guimaraes on the Newcastle United midfield trio:

“I think that, to be very honest, it is one of the best midfields in the league.

“Everyone is similar, but everyone has their own way of playing,

“Joelinton is stronger, I’m a bit more technical and Tonali is a gladiator.

“So we were able to gather our strengths for the team and I believe that we are a midfield that does everything.”

Bruno Guimaraes on club and country:

“The World Cup is the main focus for me. I want to arrive very well.

“I want to be well at my club so that I can get called up.

“So this season at Newcastle, as I said, has everything to be my best.

“I want to play my free, light and loose soccer. So that I can be able to perform. So that I can be the best version of Bruno possible.

“But I’m really excited for this season.”

Bruno Guimaraes comparing when he arrived at Newcastle United to now three and a half years later…

“When I arrived here, we were fighting not to get relegated.

“And now we’re playing another Champions League, after winning a title after 70 years.

“I think we’re on a great path,

“To be very honest with you, things have turned out better than I expected.
