Eddie Howe: Our performance this season is worthy of the Champions League, which is a huge achievement

May 26th According to the BBC, Eddie Howe was interviewed by reporters after Newcastle's 1-0 victory over Everton.

It feels great about qualifying for Champions League, and it's a huge achievement. Although we were a little disappointed to lose this game, looking at the entire 38 rounds of the game, we are fully worthy of this qualification. This is an important moment for the club.

The team's performance this season has happened so much this year, not only on the psychological level, but also on the tactical level. The pace of the Premier League has changed very quickly and it has been a great season for us. I think we had some difficulties in the summer and that impact continued until the beginning of the season. We have to work very hard to overcome these difficulties and return in this way, and the players are deeply grateful for their performance this year. We have a great team who goes all out in every game, which is what we expect. Today, although we try our best to win, the results are not as good as we wish.

About the process of qualifying for the Champions League

We have been paying attention to the progress of the game, but I don't want this to take my full attention. The results of other games became even more important until we seemed to have a hard time scoring goals in the second half and our game results became uncertain. But throughout the game, we were always looking for opportunities to score goals and trying to get back in control. With about five minutes left in the game, we have basically determined to advance unless the miraculous last five to ten minutes appear.
