Synes det er veldig merkelig at han ikke er med i dag, men kan ikke se for meg at han prøver å tvinge gjennom en overgang til Derby..
Er ikkje han operert og i opptrening att?
Intervju i Chronicle for ikkje lenge sidan.
27 year-old Newcastle winger Matt Ritchie scoring one of his 16 goals last season
Matt has been missing from the preseason games since he has a calf injury at the moment, but he had this to say to the Chronicle this morning:
“You have to be focused.” “Everyone knows the task in hand.” “A little bit of the job was done last season when getting back to the Premier League.”
“By no means do we want to stand still and toy with relegation.” “We need to kick on and keep building as a club and as a team.”
“The lads obviously want to take on the information the gaffer puts across.” “I think we need to realise we haven’t done anything yet just because we got promoted.”
“It’s an important season and we need to get better and keep striving for more.” “The Premier League is ruthless and we need to be at our best to take anything from games.”
“Focus on the training pitch is the start of that.” “It’s been so far, so good.” “Obviously I haven’t be involved through my calf.”
“But the lads are happy, and it’s been a good week so far.” “It’s always good to come away and spend a lot of time together.”
“It makes a big difference leading up to the season with us being a tight group.” “We need to continue to improve and get better.”
“This season is going to be a different challenge.” “Hopefully we can keep building on what we’ve got, there are a couple of new arrivals so it will be good to add to the group to produce more competition.
“It’s exciting.”
Rykter om at Ritchie har nektet å trene for noen dager siden, og at han ønsker seg til Derby. Ikke med i troppen i dag. Wtf?
Kor lese du da?
