Makukula: Is now the time?

Scolari was apparently at the E. Amadora-Maritimo game scouting Makukula over the weekend. Personally, I'd like to see some more time given to Almeida before this guy is considered.





Luiz Felipe Scolari esteve na Reboleira a ver o E. Amadora-Marítimo e o alvo foi mesmo Ariza Makukula. O avançado do Sevilha, que está cedido aos verde-rubros até final da época, tem sido uma das figuras da Liga neste início de temporada (já fez 4 golos) e vê com bons olhos a possibilidade de voltar a vestir a camisola das quinas, caso o nome dele faça parte da lista a divulgar sexta-feira.

 

Does this Mean Nuno Gomes will be our Strkier again?

 

Yay! LOL

Get me in there!

 

Makukula was just called up to replace the injured Nuno Gomes for the game on Wednesday in Kazahkstan.
Hopefully he get's some playing time in the 2nd half.

 

I am more excited by the fact that Almeida will be getting consecutive starts.

 

I read it in the "A Bola" too http://www.abola.pt/nnh/index.asp?op=ver&noticia=129257&tema=7



Hopefully he'll continue with his good form

 

The twin towers upfront, Almeida & Makukula. This time we won't have to worry getting bullied around.

I mean scolari didn't take long considering he is in fine form. Also, he stated that he wants to play for portugal.

 

How is Makukula (Wow does he need a nickname) on the ball?

 

about god damn time Scolari called BWINPLAYERS back up Maritimo are on fire

 

I donno, I think hes a similar kind of player to Almeida

hes scored a few goals for Maritimo this season.

he used to play for the U21 team with Ronaldo and Quaresma

 

He does play similar from what I have gathered on the internet. Appears to be more able with the ball at his feet. Anyways, thats just of short clips so do not read to much into it....

 

According to record.pt


makakula's nickname on his shirt is Maku

Speaks Spanish pretty well. Although you hear his Portuguese break through every once in a while.

 

Hes alot better on the ball then Almeida, a bit of a poor mans Ruud Van horse face.

Very good link up play.

 

Hes definitly more athletic then Ruud, that is without question. But Ruud has him beat everywhere else...

 

Obviously, I was just trying to compare his style of play.

 

Yeah yeah I know. No harm done.

 

IMO he should be Portugal's new starting sriker. Hugo Almeida had 2 games to prove himself and it was a great chance for him considering the oppenents were lesser known weaker teams than Portugal (even though they played decently).

Makukula should definately play over Nuno Gomes and Almeida. He was such an important factor in the attack at the end of the game. He had little playing time and still manage to turn things around so quickly. Almeida cant finish, and what Portugal needs is a finisher because Ronaldo, Simao, Quaresma, Nani, Veloso basically the whole team can deliver and cross the ball well but we'll never score like that by using Almeida. Makukula is our best option to take advantage of attack. As soon as the guy came in we developed more oppurtunities to score in those last few minutes than we did the whole game.

 

He scored one, didn't he ??

 

Yep, maki is 6'3 of a beast....Portugal has never been so tall in the box now, Almeida must start though.

 

I cannot comment on that aspect yet. I haven't seen Maku play yet. How come we don't have a god damn Maritimo supporter somewhere in here. We are all glory hunters, except GoodDead.

 

we do have one around here, his name is Verde Rubro.

my grandfather is a maritimo socio but he doenst use computers ahahah.
Maritimo's strike force of maku and kanu is one of the main reasons why they are doing so well in the liga this season.

almeida and maku need to be on the squad

for now the three strikers being called up should be Maku, almeida , and gomes
