His ability to field kickouts, break forward, and land scores from distance has made him a constant outlet for Donegal.<\/p>\n<p>Marc \u00d3 S\u00e9 Says Donegal Star Is A \u2018Marked Man\u2019 After League Final Display<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1162\" data-end=\"1282\">And after this latest display, Marc \u00d3 S\u00e9 believes opposition teams will have little choice but to give him special attention.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1421\">If you look at last year\u2019s final, you could say Donegal were probably unlucky in that Thompson got injured after 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1460\">But that said, he was awesome today.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1638\">We\u2019re talking about Michael Murphy now being a marked man, I think in the championship going forward Michael Langan is going to be a marked man after yesterday\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1690\">Everybody\u2019s going to have to nullify his threat.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"1811\">For years, Michael Murphy has been the player opposition defences have built their plans around.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1854\">Now, it appears Donegal may have another towering Michael that needs to be taken care of.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1923\" data-end=\"2139\">If teams are forced to divide their attention between Murphy, Langan and Donegal&#8217;s other potent attackers, it only increases the attacking options available to Donegal, and makes them an even more dangerous proposition heading into the championship.<\/p>\n<p>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/gaa\/gaelic-football-power-rankings-ranking-the-sam-maguire-field-652576\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gaelic Football Power Rankings: Ranking The Sam Maguire Field<\/a><br \/>\nSEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balls.ie\/gaa\/jim-mcguinness-donegal-new-gaa-trend-652596\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donegal Boss Concerned New Inter-County GAA Trend Will Lead To &#8216;Bad&#8217; Injuries<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Langan has long been one of Donegal\u2019s most important players, but according to Marc \u00d3 S\u00e9, that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1485,61,60,112],"class_list":["post-373692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-donegal","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
