I think I did pretty well at the beginning of the season. Then I got a concussion and missed three games, I didn&#8217;t do anything bad or bad, but it&#8217;s very difficult to get back into the team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s very difficult. It&#8217;s a new situation that we&#8217;ve never experienced in the last four years. There were a lot of things that were new and not easy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fabian Schaal warming up for Newcastle (Photo by Jack Thomas\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;I know it&#8217;s going to happen because I&#8217;m older, but I don&#8217;t want it to be. I feel like I can still bring a lot to the team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just want to get on the pitch and do the same thing I&#8217;ve been trying to do for the last seven years and leave my heart on the pitch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fabian_Schaal_says_Eddie_Howe_knows_hes_not_happy\"><\/span>Fabian Schaal says Eddie Howe knows he&#8217;s not happy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Schaal went on to say that he expressed a bit of frustration when he got the chance to play for Newcastle against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n<p>The 33-year-old added that Howe knows how he feels about his current situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think I expressed my frustration a little bit,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Obviously the coach knew I wasn&#8217;t happy, but I tried to stay calm and just train well. I knew I had another chance. It was just the way everything happened.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was out for a few games with a concussion, so it was hard to accept that everything actually happened.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not stupid. There&#8217;s a lot of quality in the team and we&#8217;ve brought in young players. But I know I can help the team as much as I can. I can still add something to the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then I played in the Carabao Cup and scored, so I always tried to keep a positive attitude and contribute. On the pitch, you have to work hard and get results, and I think I did that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabian Schaal celebrating a goal for Newcastle (Photo credit: Lewis Storey\/Getty Images) Newcastle United defender Fabian Schaal has opened up about his current situation and revealed he is not happy being an international at St James&#8217; Park.
