Re: Arena Interview on "Los Tecnicos"
To recap and clarify a little, this is how he wrote it on the paper that he showed the guy and the camera:
--------------------Keller----------------------
Cherundolo----Pope-----Onyewu-------Lewis
--------------Reyna------?-----------------
----?--------------Donovan--------------Beasley
----------------------McBride-------------------
Reyna and the d-mid "?" were written tightly together in the middle. It really looked to me like a 4-2-3-1.
1. There were no "maybes" in goal or on the backline.
2. For the first question mark, he said "maybe mastroeni, maybe o'brien"
3. For the second question mark, he said "maybe Dempsey", offering no other name.
4. When he mentioned Beasley, he said "can play centrally or on the left." Make of that what you will.
5. Looking at the formation he had laid out, Bruce then said that this was it, but that "maybe Donovan up with McBride"
6. I heard no mention during the entire interview of EJ, Wolff, Convey, Gibbs, Boca, Hahnemann, Ching, Twellman, or anybody not on that piece of paper or mentioned above other than the couple of Tim Howard questions and the inevitable Adu question.
