"Let's not stop here" – Joelinton still struggling for words, tells Brazilians why Newcastle fans so special
Yesterday at 12:14 PM
Newcastle United midfielder Joelinton has insisted they won't stop chasing trophies after their Carabao Cup success.
GE Globo have an interview with the midfielder today in which he admits he's still struggling for words to describe the success and explains why Newcastle is so special to him.
Eddie Howe's side secured their first domestic trophy in 70 years with their 2-1 win over Sunday, with goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak enough to see them to victory despite Federico Chiesa's late strike.
The hope is that this victory can catapult the club to future success, with that very much the aim for their Saudi Arabian ownership.
Joelinton certainly sees the victory as a springboard for success, insisting he and his teammates won't stop with this one.
"I have no words to describe that everything is going is through in my head at this moment. It’s a whirlwind of feelings, emotions, things I can’t explain. A gigantic title, which will be scored in Newcastle history," he said.
"I came to the club in 2019, thinking precisely of moments like this. We have a huge project at the club, with a winning ambition, and gradually we are going in that direction. We arrived in the Champions League recently, two seasons ago we were runners-up of the League Cup, and now we have reached this title."
The success is certainly a special moment for Joelinton, whose time in the North East has not been an easy one to say the least.
He initially struggled when arriving at the club as a striker and was written off completely before the arrival of Howe, who moved him into a midfield role instead.
The Brazilian has flourished since then and is very much a key player for the Magpies and is now a firm fan favourite, something he is grateful for.
"I just have to thank all that affection this crowd has for me since I arrived," he added.
"I try every game to match this on the field, with a lot of desire and delivery. This is the moment of Newcastle and the whole city. Let’s not stop there. That was a first achievement. We will follow in this footprint ambitious to mark our name in the history of the club."
