Geremi has to replace Figo
MADRID,
It is hard to believe that the champion of the Olympic Games, Africa, Spain and Champions League winner Geremi appears in his own squad rarely. Anyway, there are principles in todays football to which even the brightest stars havre to obey. These principles propose the same position for several players of the same class. The invincible Madrid player faces the same problem. Michel Salgado`s fine performance does not give the Cameroon player an opportunity to secure a place in the lineup.
Anyway, in the next Spanish championship match Geremi will substitute Luis Figo who is going to play in the Portuguese national team. This assumes Geremi`s re-qualification for midfielder.
"I am happy to play for such a team. When I came to this club I could do very little, but playing and training with such individuals as Raul, Roberto Carlos, Hierro and Zidane, I grew very much as a player. If they count on me during the match with Las Palmas I will do my best not to disappoint my team, though I`ll notice that to replace Figo is far from easy. Luis is a player of attacking style while I`m more a defending type of player," Geremi said.
It`s a matter of time to see what Geremi`s words are worth. The match with the islanders is another chance for players to appear in the line-up but not to try to prove something as they have already proved their capabilities.
