“I don’t think I’ll be fired. I am sure that we will keep our place in the Premier League, and not only I think so. The players work hard, the coaching staff copes perfectly. Years of work gave us experience that will help not to fly out of the submarine ".

"I say all this not because I have to say this. I attend the training sessions of the team, I see the desire of the players and I know the team from the inside, "said Benitez.

The next match in the Premier League Newcastle will hold at home against Brighton.
