Kieran Trippier has been with United for less than 100 days at Newcastle. By that time, he had already established himself as a wardrobe manager, a future captain and a high-quality operator off the field.
The right winger, who is bidding to feature in England’s 2022 World Cup squad, enjoyed a stellar rise when he joined Tottenham under Mauricio Pochettino. Premier League wins varied in the capital, but a Champions League final returned in 2019.
But it was Tripier’s experience in Spain that made him a leader today. Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone gave him a key role and sometimes left him behind for over an hour after training, helping to improve his game by showing the time he played for Tottenham.

“I think he improved me a lot defensively. Before I left there, when I was at Tottenham, I had to improve in defense and he worked very hard in the training camp with mine and the team, and improved my defensive side. and my maturity and leadership on the field,” Trippier told BBC Radio Five Live on Wednesday.
Newbie has now benefited from the fact that Tripper has accepted that responsibility in recent years because he is a driving force in the new era.
On Wednesday night, when he explained exactly how Atlético Madrid would play out against Manchester City, he was on commentary duty. When the players from both teams met at the Wanda Metropolitano, the previous prediction for the Tripier came true.
“In a minute you are going to hear yellow cards from the touchline, and the players are twisting the others. He wants the players to surround the referee. Stephen Chavic will be big tonight, he is in the faces of Man City. He said before the draw.
Two hours later, after Bill Fotten was dragged and pulled by Jack Graylish’s hair, the world saw that Savic had taken it to provoke a huge brawl between the players. The former City defender also kept a clean sheet last night, he made no mistakes on either leg and L’Equipe awarded him the man of the match award for a ‘quiet’ performance.
Chavez’s behavior came as no surprise to Tripier, who spent two years learning the so-called ‘dark arts’ of football that come with the pitch from Simeone. Those tactics could be criticized by football purists who object to the 5-5-0 formation, constantly wasting time and begging referees to draw cards, and the experience of those big games clearly created the good world of Tripper. When he came in. The commercial end of his career.
