Trippier, ignorado

St. James Park was an uproar on Saturday. The defeat in the cup against a third like Cambridge has filled the patience of Newcastle fans. From becoming the new rich in the Premier, they have gone on to be humiliated in their own stadium by a very modest rival and to look closely at relegation. The team has conceded 13 goals in the last five games for four losses and a draw. Newcastle are second to last, two points from the saving grace zone in the Premier and the bad atmosphere is palpable.

Proof of this was what happened with Trippier. The former Atlético side made his debut with his new team, he is the first signing of the new club property. It debuted and it was not the dream premiere. The team lost 1-0 at home to Cambridge, a third division side, and the fans didn’t take it well at all. They berated their own players. Trippier threw up the phlegm and at the end of the game he tried to get his teammates to address the fans, more to apologize than to greet them. However, he was practically alone. Renowned footballer in the team like Saint-Maximin did not follow him. Not many others. There was no desire to face his fans. Trippier was ignored by his people so as not to have to face outraged fans.

They paint clubs in Newcastle and not even the arrival of an English international like Trippier seems to calm the waters. The boos were noted in St. James Park after the final whistle and Trippier found no support from his teammates. The seasoned gamer tried to connect with the fans, but it has been found that they are not for parties. Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the new owner, and his entourage stopped by the team’s dressing room after the game. There they coincided with the squad and the coach and listened to their explanations. Trippier has reached a troubled river.
