Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle spoke to the media about his team's lack of respect ahead of the new Premier League season, which starts on August 23 against Liverpool. Jaissle remains unfazed by doubts surrounding his experience and emphasizes the importance of focusing on their own performance. The Magpies had a disappointing finish last season, placing 12th, and have seen key players depart since.
