Miguel Almiron

“The most important thing is to do whatever I can to help the team.”

“I score goals. I did it in South America, the MLS and I score for my country too.”

“I like horror movies, dramas and action movies.”

“I was always quick, I used my speed and my technique.”

“My combination of speed and alertness, it helps me avoid heavy tackles. The physical side of the game, it never worried me.”

“I try not to go too crazy with what people write on social media, it's about trying to do my best.”

“I'm a calm person.”

“I think what I hope to gain from Rafa, the great manager that he is, is he can give a positive influence and confidence on my career. I think he gives players confidence to go out there and perform.”

“When I was seven, my father took me to a school called 3 de Noviembre football club. It all started there. I honed my dribbling skills on these rock-hard pitches and that's where I thought I could pursue a career in football.”

“I'm not an angel, though I try to go every so often to church to put right my sins.”

“I don't pay too much attention to my price tag or the pressures.”

“I like playing soccer in my free time.”

“I've felt very welcomed and I feel like part of the family, so I am very happy to stay here and I am going to keep giving everything on the pitch to thank the people of Newcastle.”

“If you can't relax, you can't play well; on the pitch you need to keep loose.”

“It's going to be quite tough adapting to the Premier League after playing in MLS. There are big differences in the two leagues.”

“Yes, I really like the English style of football for the dynamic play and the competitiveness there is.”

“I have always been slim, it is my natural build.”

“I always have a great will to score goals.”

“Knowing that a manager like Rafa Benitez wants you to be in his team is quite something plus Newcastle has a great history - these were the factors that brought me here.”

“I believe when you go to a new country like England for the first time you are impressed by anything and everything - even by a falling leaf, everything is beautiful.”
