Joelinton applies Guimaraes lessons to Newcastle vice-captain role
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 08:32 · Archive
Newcastle vice-captain Joelinton says he is learning from former captain Bruno Guimaraes, who left for Arsenal in the summer.
Newcastle United vice-captain Joelinton has revealed what he learned from former captain Bruno Guimaraes as he takes on an expanded leadership role this season. Guimaraes left the club in the summer to join Arsenal, while Kieran Trippier departed for Wolves. Both departures prompted a reshuffle of Newcastle's leadership group, with Dan Burn named club captain and Joelinton stepping up to vice-captain in his eighth season at St James' Park.
Joelinton, a Brazil international aged 30, recently made his first start of the season after missing the opening weeks through injury. Speaking about his predecessor's influence, he told Chronicle Live that Guimaraes' greatest quality was consistency: 'always to be there, always present in the moment, always fighting till the end'. Joelinton said he is attempting to apply this approach to his own leadership.
Joelinton has also learned from other recent leaders at the club, including Trippier and current captain Burn. He said he was trying to 'learn something from everyone' as he helps guide younger players in Newcastle's restructured squad following the departures.
