Gabriel Heinze – Hero or Villain?
Following Gabriel Heinze decided to ditch playing for his brand new club Manchester United in order to play for his country Argentina, Apres Match aka Marc Furlong, expresses his views on the £7 million man.
Let me start by requesting that there be a moratorium on “bean” puns! No more half baked (sorry couldn’t resist that last one) gags about being “left on the shelf” or having “variety” in his game etc.
A lot’s been written recently about Heinze feeling the wrath of Sir Alex Ferguson in response to his commitment to Argentina. There have been suggestions that his United career is over before it’s began. This view may not be surprising, given Fergie’s track record when it comes to metering out retribution to those who displease him: think David Beckham, Japp Stam, Dwight Yorke, Mark Bosnich, Paul McGrath – and the list could go on. These players who, for one reason or another, have in Fergie’s eyes, not lived up to the very high standards expected of a Manchester United player.
Many times, the reasons given for a player’s unexpected departure, have generally related to on field performance – and that certainly would have been a consideration. However the underlining reason, the real reason, tended to relate to the player’s lack of commitment to the manager and/or team mates. There are exceptions of course, those players who’s transgressions where largely overlooked because their value to the club was measured in more than just footballing ability. Bryan Robson, Eric Cantona and Roy Keane for instance, were all involved in regrettable incidents but continued to be afforded the respect of their playing colleagues and manager.
I believe that Heinze will in time fall into the latter category even though he has proved to be a tempestuous character throughout his career. At times he’s made life difficult for managers both on and off the pitch. He has shown in recent weeks that he intends to represent his country no matter what the competition or consequences – a characteristic the proud Scotsman Ferguson will surely relate too. Even if publicly he expresses his disappointment at his unavailability for his new club; Manchester United needs a strong personality in defence. The imminent return of Rio Ferdinand will certainly add finesse, but he lacks the passion and commitment to inspire like Heinze.
Many feel that Heinze really came of age in his last season with Paris St Germain then topped that off with some very impressive performances in the Copa America and at the Olympics. His is primarily a left back, but can play in a number of roles, and it may prove that he will be best utilised as a partner for Ferdinand, leaving Silvestre to occupy the left, a position where he has played his best football for United. If Wes Brown can remain injury free, he will certainly replace the long serving Neville.
Brown, Ferdinand, Heinze and Silvestre: a defensive unit with most of their best football still ahead of them. A group within a group, led by the fiery Argentinean, who may even emerge as natural successor to Roy Keane and don the captain’s armband. For now at least, he’s definitely one to watch.
