Live Bar January 7 Manchester United captain Maguire is the world's highest transfer fee centre-back, and what is less known is that the Maguire family has many brothers and sisters who play football, and all of them are centre-backs. The Telegraph interviewed Harry Maguire's younger brother, central defender Lawrence Maguire, who plays for Chelsea in England's fifth division, as he faces Chelsea in the FA Cup this weekend.
Excerpt from the original text of The Telegraph (part related to Maguire):
The art of defense can be said to be Maguire's "family business". There are £80 million captain Harry Maguire (1993), Lawrence Maguire of Chesterfield (1997), Joe Maguire of Easton Town in the Northern England League (1991), and his sister, former Sheffield United centre-back Daisy Maguire (1999).
So what's the secret of the Maguire brothers? "Our heads are all the same size." Lawrence laughed.
"We're all centre-backs now, but we were midfielders as kids. Before we got bigger and were moved to the defensive end, we had good technique on our feet. Daisy is also a very good defender. Harry moved him to the back line when he was at Sheffield United. ”
Lawrence, 24, the youngest of the Maguire brothers, is preparing for this weekend's FA Cup match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where he plays for Chesfield, who is currently the leader of England's fifth division and is currently unbeaten in 14 games.
In August 2019, his older brother Harry Maguire joined Manchester United from Leicester City to become the world's most expensive defender and reached the World Cup semi-finals with England.
Lawrence said: "I always said to my father, 'His achievements are going to be very high.'" The family had always believed that Harry's abilities were underestimated. When Harry was at Hull City, he went in and out of the team, was loaned to Wigan and then came back and then played in his current position. As family, we are proud of Harry. Sometimes people say you might be jealous, but seeing him play the World Cup for England is a fantastic achievement. ”
"Harry has always cared about my career. Feel free to text him when you have difficulties and he will call me. After the game, I always told him he was playing well and I felt he could play better and he did the same for me. But Father [Alan Maguire] is the worst "troll" – he never says anything nice to us! When I got home from the race as a kid, he would tell us what was wrong. ”
Lawrence Maguire has resumed training this week after a calf injury and is hopeful to start against Chelsea.
"It's going to be the most important game of my career. I've played in front of 40,000 fans at Bramo Lane Stadium (sheffield United home), but playing Chelsea is certainly different.
"Playing for Manchester United is obviously my dream because Harry is at Old Trafford. However, there are not many opportunities to stage a 'brother showdown'. ”
