Sean Longstaff says that he now feels a sense of extra responsibility when playing alongside Newcastle United's Rolls-Royce midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
The Brazil international was targeted by Nottingham Forest in the last Premier League match as tackles flew in on the former Lyon star and that is becoming a theme in the top-flight as teams try to disrupt Newcastle's pattern of play. His midfield partner Longstaff knows that part of his role is to look after the South American ace.
Longstaff said: "He's such a good player that teams are going to target him a little bit but when there are three, four, five tackles going in I think maybe I have to step in and protect him a little bit but I thought he deals with that really well."
