Bruno Guimaraes is desperate for redemption after Newcastle United were bullied by Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Bruno Guimaraes has vowed to win the reverse fixture after Newcastle United lost 1-0 to Sunderland.
A dismal showing resulted in the Magpies failing to turn up in the Tyne-Wear derby. Nick Woltemade’s own goal fired past Aaron Ramsdale shortly after the restart to put Sunderland in front.
To the Black Cats’ credit, they were more willing throughout and appeared to want the contest more than Newcastle. It took the visitors until the 62nd minute to register their first shot of the contest.
‘Go there and win’ - Bruno Guimaraes
While admitting the fixture is some time away, Guimaraes has his sights set on righting the derby-day wrong. He told NewcastleWorld: “It's a long way to go. My mind is still here, I'm still very angry, disappointed. But of course, we know we're going to play them in March. We're going to go there (St James’ Park) and win the game.”
Bruno Guimaraes on toughest defeat
When asked whether the loss was the toughest of his four-year spell at Newcastle, Guimaraes added: “Definitely, yes. Not just as a defeat, more the way we play. (I am) disappointed and frustrated (at the) lack of energy. We were like a mess in my point of view. Disappointed, angry. This one is a tough one to accept.”
‘So frustrating’ - Bruno Guimaraes
“It's tough for me to say,” the Toon skipper finished when asked why Sunderland wanted it more. “I'm very frustrated. Throughout the week we were very excited at the training ground but we came here and didn't perform. I'm so frustrated and it makes me feel angry at our performance today.
“We were not there. No shooting, no crossing, no passing. We should have demanded the ball more. We just accepted the way they will play, long balls, they won the duels. In derbies we have to win the fuels.
“It's so frustrating for me to come here today, but the fans are right (to criticise) because it's a tough one to accept. We had a great opportunity to go in front of them and we just missed it. For me, it's so frustrating.”
