The new challenge of Apple tree and his Majorca
There are still the people who reproaches Gregorio Manzano for the period 03/04. That campaign the technician jiennense accepted the challenge of taking the reins of the Athletic one of Madrid, newly promoted. The weapon that gave to him to battle was vulgar, this is the reality. And despite that the mattress-makers fought to play in Europe almost until the end. Matías Lequi, Musampa, Simeone in his most gray stage, Gaspar, Of the Saints, Sergi, Friend or Nikolaidis were some of the men with those who from Vicente Calderón were trying to fight for there came to the Champions … An authentic figment that not even promising Fernando Torres and the talent of Ariel Ibagaza could achieve.
Not even much less Apple tree was the culprit of that return frustrated to the First and the time has given him the account, despite his unfortunate step along the Malaga, reaffirming his worth as technician in the place where it has achieved more important successes: Majorca. When it came in February, 2006 to substitute Cúper, few ones were betting for the salvation of the vermilions, but Gregorio turned out to be revulsive. To the following year it saved it with guarantees, in 07/08 it even threatened in spite of fighting for the UEFA and in the previous campaign, although they took most of the stars, the team achieved the salvation again, although in January many were giving it lowered.
This year Majorca, which yesterday fell down worthily in Sánchez Pizjuán, looks of bearing the type. As sometimes previous, Cléber Santana and Arango has to be reinvented, after the march this summer of Jury, three fundamental pieces in the previous exercise. With humble signings, Apple tree again has a warm potato in his hands and for prompt the thing does not do badly.
The good technical staff not necessary is those who gain qualifications. There are very good trainers who gain everything, but also there are other normalitos that for directing crack teams can take one League. Apple tree has never been lucky to direct a big one, but there where it has always been it has expired. His stamp is indelible, despite the change of cards, to worse, obviously. He bets for 4-4-1-1, but his men for bands are not the extreme outstanding figures, but less explosive players but yes more versatile, that contribute major presence in the midfield, his big target, facet in which there collaborates the attacker who is behind the front center. The idea of Apple tree is to have many players in the watershed, with the first well anticipated two lines, despite playing out, although sometimes like those of yesterday before the most powerful impossible one it becomes impossible to contain the rival so above.
The arguments vermilions are really ordinary. East type might be eleven: Auoate; Josemi, Nunes, Ramis, Ayoze; Varela, Mario (very much eye with this player), Martí, Tuni; Víctor and Adúriz. There are no stars, as it sees the léctor, but yes a worth and praiseworthy team sensation in all the meetings that has played. Majorca is going to spend it badly, because the true thing is that every year they are depriving him of his best tricks, but it transmits good sensations, thanks to the identity of set that his technician prints.
