Newcastle newboy Jonas Gutierrez is hopeful
that the club's 1-1 draw with Manchester United has set
the tone on both an individual and collective level for the rest of
the season.
The portents are good for Newcastle’s summer signing
- nicknamed 'Spiderman' because of his goal celebration -
after a display of refreshing bravado that will have caught the eye
of his new supporters.
The Argentina winger looked to be a player right out of the
Kevin Keegan mould with a tireless performance at Old Trafford.
Gutierrez and new team-mate and Argentine compatriot Fabricio
Coloccini must now make the long journey to Belarus for
international duty.
"We both like to play for our country,” he said. “It is a great
honour for us, so now we have a friendly match with Belarus and we
go away very happy.
"We come back on Thursday night, which is near the Bolton match,
but we will be prepared to play.
"Fabricio enjoyed the match. It was a great start for him and
the rest of the team.
"He is looking forward to more, like I am."
