Jamaal Lascelles is set to lead Newcastle out against Parc des Princes after reclaiming his spot in Eddie Howe’s team according to Mark Pinder for The Telegraph.
Jamaal Lascelles is more than just a Premier League defender; he’s also a captain, and it’s not hard to see why. “There were a lot of people probably writing me off saying ‘his time is done’,” he says speaking about last season. “But I will always say I can look myself in the mirror having given 100 per cent and done everything that I can for everybody: for myself and for the club,” Lascelles explains.
Despite a tough season with limited starts, Lascelles kept a positive outlook, stating: “I was wise enough to realize that ‘OK, I might not be playing but I am at a club that might get into the Champions League. I was in a fantastic situation. A situation most people dream to be in,”
However, Lascelles’ time has come as he has been one of Newcastle’s best performers since gaining his place back in the team. He is set to lead out Newcastle at the Parc des Princes against Paris Saint-Germain in a vital Champions League tie.
He credits part of his success to the transformative effect of manager Eddie Howe. “We have seen the other side to him when he can have a go if someone is not pulling their weight. You do not want to cross that line.” Lascelles mentions the changes happening within the club under new ownership, stating, “It’s a different era with those small one per cent improvements – although ultimately it’s the manager who has made the biggest difference.”
