Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães has called on supporters to stand firmly behind the team as they enter the final stretch of the season, starting with a key Premier League clash against Brighton at St James’ Park this afternoon.
The Brazilian midfielder, who recently returned to the starting XI after an injury layoff, stressed the importance of unity, belief, and consistency as the Magpies look to finish the campaign strongly.
“We have four games to make things right”
Speaking to official club media, Guimarães admitted the season has been inconsistent but insisted there is still time to end on a positive note.
He said the squad understands the importance of the remaining fixtures and wants to repay the fans with strong performances, starting immediately against Brighton.
Newcastle United face a challenging run-in, but the captain believes momentum can still shift quickly if results go their way.
Brighton test set to be a major challenge
Guimarães was quick to acknowledge the difficulty of today’s fixture, praising Brighton’s form and quality while urging his teammates to rise to the occasion.
He emphasised that Newcastle must be at their absolute best to take all three points, especially against a side that has been in strong form.
The midfielder also pointed out how tight the league situation remains, noting that a win could significantly improve Newcastle’s position with only a few matches left.
“We must be clinical and show more fight”
Reflecting on recent performances, Guimarães highlighted the team’s effort levels but admitted improvement is needed in key moments, particularly in front of goal.
He referenced Newcastle’s battling display against Arsenal, where the team showed resilience but failed to take their chances.
According to the captain, turning that effort into results will be crucial if the club is to end the season positively.
Return from injury boosts Newcastle
Guimarães also spoke personally about his return from injury, describing the setback as one of the toughest periods of his career.
He revealed he spent time recovering in Brazil while closely following Newcastle’s matches and working hard to return fully fit.
Now back in the squad, he says he feels stronger and ready to contribute in the final games of the season.
“We owe our supporters”
With four matches remaining, Guimarães made a clear promise to fans, especially for the final home fixtures at St James’ Park.
He stressed that the team owes supporters strong performances and vowed that the squad has been working hard all week to deliver.
The captain finished with a message of appreciation and belief, urging fans to stay behind the team until the very end of the campaign.
