Newcastle ace Saint-Maximin: Carabao Cup final must not be distraction

 


Newcastle United ace Allan Saint-Maximin says their Carabao Cup final against Manchester United must not become a distraction.

The Magpies face AFC Bournemouth this Saturday night before another big encounter at St James' Park next weekend against Liverpool. It is understood that the players have been told their allocation of family tickets but the squad have been bombarded with requests for seats at Wembley

When asked if it was tough not to think of Wembley, Saint-Maximin said: "For sure, I'm not going to lie, we think about the final. But we are professional, we know that the Premier League is so important as well.

"Every game we try to do be focused and to win the game. We train very hard during the week and the coach asks us to a lot. We need to listen to the small details as they important to give us more chances to win every game. We try to win every single game."

Speaking about being inundated by friends wanting tickets, the Toon star said: "A lot, a lot. We know how big it is for the club and the fans deserve to be there.

"That's why I every time I step on to the pitch I try to do my best. I will not let my team down, every player has the same philosophy and we always talk and say that.

"We will never let any fan down. Anything can happen but we are always fighting, it is the mentality of the team, that's why we are there at the moment. If we keep doing that we will win a lot of games."
