Kieran Trippier says that in the space of seven months, "everything has changed" at Newcastle United.
The England right back arrived in January when Newcastle only had one win all season and looked certainties for relegation. He was part of the fightback, with Eddie Howe and £90million of new signings, before injury hit. The club went on a run of 12 wins in 18 games.
What’s different? Tripper said: “I came from Atletico Madrid where the demands are so high. And the fitness levels at my previous clubs were much higher than when I first arrived here at Newcastle. But it was mainly confidence. The team needed to believe in themselves and that they could survive. Get that first win and bounce off that.
