Kieran Trippier aims to ruin PSG star Kylian Mbappe\u2019s Newcastle trip even if son is upset<\/h3>\n

Real Madrid hero Roberto Carlos thinks Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier is the ultimate full-back. Trippier joined the Magpies for an initial \u00a312million at the start of last year following a two-and-a-half year stint with Atletico Madrid and has helped the club go from Premier League relegation fodder to the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Trippier has made 67 appearances for Newcastle and has bagged three goals and an incredible 17 assists for his team. The 33-year-old, who previously spent four years at Tottenham, has also been a regular for England under Gareth Southgate and has been used on both sides of defence. And former left-back Carlos has extolled the ace for his abilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can see an evolution in the role of full-backs and I was particularly impressed with Trippier as he was able to play on the left-hand side for the England national team,\u201d Carlos told JohnnyBet.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn’t have been able to play on the right of defence but in modern football you need to play on both sides. He has an amazing personality and is very good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlos also conceded that he wouldn\u2019t excel in the modern game, with full-backs increasingly being asked to move into central midfield areas to influence attacking moves. \u201cNo, I was terrible with the ball,\u201d the 2002 World Cup winner added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I was always passing to Zizou [Zinedine Zidane], David Beckham and Luis Figo. I played a lot without the ball. My thing was to close down the opposing midfielder and make space for our wingers. I liked to play a lot without the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
