Jonas Gutierrez: “I’ve played different positions in the three years I’ve been here. If the manager asks me to play left-back, I will do it for the team.
“It’s not my best position, that is a midfielder, but if the team needs me there, I don’t have a problem.
“Team spirit is good. The only problem is that we haven’t trained together as full team or squad too much, but these things happen.
“We have Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba, Gabriel Obertan and Sylvain Marveaux here as new players, so we are positive.
“We have missed training together because we had players who couldn’t go to America.
“Jose went and we haven’t trained too much together. But we have a game to focus on now.
“It’s a big game, and it’s going to be a hard game, but we always have to think of what we can do.
“We don’t have to think about the team we’re going to play. The most important thing is that Newcastle do the right things. If we do the right things 100% over the 90 minutes, we don’t have to care about the other team - we can win.
“If you don’t do the right things, they have big players who can score at any time.
“The most important thing is to concentrate for the 90 minutes."
