In the second round of the Champions League phase, Newcastle defeated San Giros 4-0. After the game, Newcastle striker Gordon accepted an interview with the media.

When asked what kind of achievements the team can achieve this season, Gordon said: "This season we can be what we want to be. We can beat any opponent. I never stepped on the field with the idea of ​​losing. As long as we can maintain our defensive system and creativity, we can defeat anyone."

"You saw this in the game against Liverpool. In the first 30 minutes before I was sent off, we completely suppressed them, and they were Premier League champions."

Newcastle spent 75 million euros to introduce Walter Marde this summer, and Rummenigge said that Stuttgart had found a "snatch."

In response to this, Gordon said: "I don't understand why I should evaluate a non-competent player. To be honest, this is stupid, especially when the player starts very well. If he starts poorly, you can make this statement understand, but he has three goals in 4 games, so this comment is really inexplicable."

Regarding his two penalty kicks, Gordon said: "I don't mind that he wants to take the penalty. The forward should be eager to get the penalty kick. But I won too many penalty kicks in this club but never took the penalty. Now that Alex is gone, these penalty kicks must be my penalty."
