Philip Lienhart has become, on its own merits, one of the most prominent names in the Bundesliga. Although his name may not ring a bell to some madridistas, the Austrian wore white for three seasons, in Juvenil A and Castilla, even making his debut in a match that has been erased from the club’s memory and record books white, the one with the Copa elimination in Cdiz due to improper alignment of Cheryshev. That meeting has now been agreed upon by the central defender Freiburg in a statement to Bild.
Your debut: “It was strange because we already knew at half-time that Rafa Bentez had put a player who was suspended on the field. The match continued, but then it was annulled. I came on for James RodrÃguez in the 78th minute and it took a couple of hours for me to the idea. The game shirt is hanging in my parents’ closet. If I ever have a house, I’ll put it in a special place.”
The advice that Pepe gave him: “Pepe is known as an aggressive defender. In the locker room, however, I got to know him as an extremely nice and helpful person. During a tactical exercise he gave me some advice on how to face from the side when defending and not with both feet forward.” So you can quickly defend backwards and forwards at the same time. I still take it very seriously to this day.”
How was Zidane in training: “We practiced free-kicks once. We players didn’t even hit a free kick. He took the ball and said, ‘Look guys, that’s how it’s done,’ and then hit the ball right into the top corner. That made it clear to all of us. how incredible he was as a footballer.
What did you learn at Real Madrid: “At Madrid we always had a lot of possession, even at Castilla. One piece of advice from Zidane was that you should always accelerate the circulation of the ball with few touches. The time between controlling and passing had to be shorter and I had to look around before to get the ball to me to have a good solution immediately. I developed a lot there and I benefited from it as a coach”.
