Bruno Guimaraes revealed his unique pre-match preparations before the Carabao Cup Final, including playing video games late into the night. While anxious, he disconnected from social media, choosing to concentrate on the game and his chance to secure his place in Newcastle's history against Liverpool. He reflected on the significance of the match, expressing a determined mindset with no room for mistakes. His encouragement to the team emphasized their potential to become legends in the eyes of the fans, ultimately leading to their first domestic trophy in 70 years at Wembley.
I took my video console to the hotel and played Warzone with my friend in Brazil until 1am! I was anxious before the match but focused on the game.
I connected to myself instead, thinking about the chance to put my name in Newcastle's history booksâif this doesn't happen today, I may never get this title.
We respected Liverpool, but we didn't fear them. We sought a second goal, and a third. It had to be that day.
I said in my team talk that we were about to step onto the Wembley pitch as players and would come back as legends. It meant a lot to the fans.
