Marcos Lopes
- Thread starter Ducado
- Start date
He was average today, but the entire Portuguese team were. Germany outclassed them and the 1-0 scoreline was a bit flattering. Lopes did have the best chance(s) with a double strike, but both were blocked. He also played a couple of nice through balls but slightly overhit.
Hope our scouts have eyes on some of those Germans. Phenomenal talents. I remember Julian Brandt was linked with us some time back, he played and was good.

Never got into the game, Portugal comprehensively outplayed and couldn't get a foothold in the game. All tournament their tactics of playing it down the sides seemed a bit suspect, but the Germans bullied the wingers who were both dreadful and Portugal barely got out of their half. The germans were very impressive, very strong and a great team press.

Today's showing proved why he needs to go on loan and leave youth football behind.
I think unless he has an unbelievable season at Lille I think he will need at least a few years on loan.

German youth coaches doing wonderful job creating and improving young talents. We should get some of those coaches in our academy.
Germany U19 was easily above all the teams in this tournament, deservedly won it. Pretty much like Germany the WC...
I dont know how is their youth system working in different clubs but they doing something extremely well.
Lopes didnt have a great game apart from the first one vs probably the weakest team in the tournament Isreal.He needs that loan move to Lille and most importantly he needs game time.Throw into deep water and lets see does he improve or not. If not there is no way he gets close to City first team in 15-16 season.
Hopefully he will come back from there as a lot better player who improved a lot.

I would imagine he's on holiday. Was only recently playing for Portugal u19's in a tournament.

Rony's with Lille - even had his first kick around Monday before Tuesday's CL qualifying match -

He made the squad list for the CL match vs Grasshoppers but didn't make the starter or sub list - press called it a courtesy inclusion. If Rony breaks into the regular roto with Lille it's a decent accomplishment because they have some solid veteran MFers. Would love to watch him feeding their attacking corps - Kalou, Mendes, Origi - pretty athletic team. go dogues - arf
