Benitez ‘hasn’t explained’ reason for dropping player, Newcastle coaching not up to scratch

 

It’s a very sunny time at Newcastle United right now. Rafael Benitez has achieved his aim of getting the club back into the Premier League at the first attempt, and not many will care too much about how they got there.

However, it hasn’t been a great season for everyone involved with Newcastle United, one of those missing out being Matz Sels. The Belgian goalkeeper has seen his career stall and reverse since making the move to St James’ Park, and probably now regrets signing for Newcastle in the first place.

Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad take a look at the footballer’s situation, and they claim Benitez ‘hasn’t explained’ his decision making to Sels. The goalkeeper is also missing the training he received at Gent, where the coach for his position encouraged him, compared to the cold reaction he gets at Newcastle.

Newcastle training isn’t long enough or intense enough for Sels either, and whilst he’s taken on his own personal trainer, it’s still an issue.

A Matz Sels exit from Newcastle United this summer would surprise nobody.
