On the night of December 15th, Newcastle United stomped Leicester City with a stunning 4-0 win in the 16th round of the English Premier League in Beijing. After the game, player Jacob Murphy faced the camera and opened up to the Made in the Premier League interview, talking about his post-war thoughts and insights into the tournament.
Talking about the wonderful performance in the second half, Jacob Murphy raised his eyebrows, "In the second half, we were like a wild horse out of the reins, and we quickly went on the offensive, locking up the win early on. The happy atmosphere on the pitch was like a return to the Newcastle days we know so well, with a sense of freedom and fluidity that was mesmerizing."
Facing the tension of the game, Jacob Murphy calmly responded, "Remember I already had a word a couple weeks ago that we need to stay calm and keep our heads. Whether the emotions are high or low, they should be in moderation. Because good results always come. The noise of the outside world can be swept away with one win. We just need to focus on the game and try to score. The situation in the table is very different now. In the first half we played well and had chances to score, and if we can keep calm and work hard in the second half, we can win."
Regarding his personal achievement of scoring twice, Jacob Murphy modestly stated, "The mood was naturally happy, but I missed a couple of good chances in the first half. I told myself to be patient and the chances would come. There were chances to score everywhere in the team and everyone was good at assisting. When Newcastle can attack freely and fluently and give their best, the goals come as a bonus. Today's win was a team effort and I am honored to have contributed to the team."
