Bruno Guimaraes explains why – Curtailing the celebrations | OneFootball

Bruno Guimaraes speaking to Match of The Day – 10 February 2024:

Interviewer:

“Fantastic scenes when you scored your second goal, you’re celebrating in front of the Newcastle fans.

“It looked an iconic moment.

“There is a real connection between you and the fans.”

Bruno Guimaraes:

“Yes, I would like to give them a hug, but I remembered that I have nine yellow cards, so I cannot have another!

“It was very special for me.

“The away support for us has been massive, so this goal was for them.”

As Bruno Guimaraes says, another Premier League yellow would take him to ten and an automatic two match ban.

He needs to go another eight Premier League games without another yellow, the end of the 32nd PL match, to avoid a ban.

It sounds like a pretty hopeless task but to his credit, after getting booked six games in a row (all competitions), these last four matches (all competitions) Bruno Guimaraes has been card-free.
