‘He wants to fight’: Anthony Gordon says Newcastle have a player who can get so angry during training

3 Min Read

Newcastle United have some of the most passionate players in the Premier League.

Indeed, if any team encapsulates the emotion of football, it’s Eddie Howe’s side.

Dan Burn plays with a serious fire in his belly anytime he pulls on a black and white shirt – particularly in the big games.

Meanwhile, Anthony Gordon can often get frustrated when things aren’t going his way.

Speaking to Pro Direct Soccer, Gordon was asked which of his teammates gets the angriest when things don’t go his way, and he gave an interesting answer.

Joelinton gets angry in Newcastle training.

According to Gordon, Joelinton is the worst player at Newcastle in terms of losing his temper.

The winger says that Joelinto gets angry after losses, and he even gets angry when the team wins.

Joelinton is one of the strongest players in the Premier League, so you don’t want to get on the wrong side of him.

According to Gordon, Joelinton can even try to pick a fight in training sessions.

“Who gets angry after a loss?” Gordon was asked.

“Joelinton. He can get angry. He gets angry even when we’re winning. He likes to win,” Gordon said.

“Even in training, when he loses in training, it’s like ‘bro calm down.’” Guimaraes said.

“Yeah, he wants to fight with the coach who is the referee,” Gordon said.

Joelinton’s disciplinary record for Newcastle

As Gordon says, Joelinton is a player who can sometimes let his emotions get the better of him, and you can see that in the way he plays on the pitch.

Indeed, Joelinton plays on the edge, he flies into duels as if he’s playing against his worst enemy, and, often, he can get too physical with his opponents.

Joe Willock says he’d hate to fight Joelinton, but, unfortunately, many players in the Premier League can’t avoid these situations.

Remarkably. The Brazilian has never been sent off for Newcastle, but he has picked up plenty of yellow cards.
