But actually, among these four midfielders, two are attacking players.
If circumstances allowed, the best lineup for this European Cup should have been 2-3-5!
The best goalkeeper was awarded to Germany’s Manuel Bauer.
This young player had an impressive performance in the European Cup, greatly aiding the German Team.
He narrowly defeated Italy Team’s goalkeeper Audi and Spain’s goalkeeper Luis.
Bayern Munich was able to sign him at a very low price this summer, which truly angered other top clubs.
A player like this, with a transfer fee of more than ten million euros?
Who is being insulted here?
Bauer is worth at least thirty million euros or even more!
The three defenders in the best European Cup lineup are Italy Team’s Praxedes and Bernulin, and France Team’s Lian Turan.
It’s worth noting that all three are Serie A players.
Praxedes is an AC Milan defender, Bernulin is a San Remo defender, a former Juventus player, and Lian Turan is a swing player for Juventus, playing as a central defender and right-back.
The three are well-acquainted.
This lineup once again proves the strong defensive ability of Serie A during this period.
The reputation of Serie A as a defensive league is deeply ingrained.
If the Italian Football Association were to launch a gimmick like "selling the best defensive players," even if it were not the number one league in the world, it would always be a vital part of the world’s top leagues.
Bernulin’s selection is heavily related to his performance in his final match.
His foul on Robben was both angelic and devilish.
If Robben had scored the penalty, then without a doubt, Bernulin would have become, like Bayern Munich’s Jerome Apple in the Champions League final, one of the worst-performing famous defenders of the year.
No matter how many honors they have, they cannot wash away the fans’ disdain for them.
Because they are the direct reason for losing the championship.
But fortunately, Bernulin encountered Lu Yang.
The penalty he caused was saved by Lu Yang, giving him an immense return on that foul!
It could even be regarded as one of the ten most successful defenses in European Cup history!
In the midfield, the two best midfielders are Lu Yang, the tournament’s best player with eleven goals and five assists, and Zidane, the European Cup’s assists king with two goals and ten assists.
Their positions are unbeatable and undisputed!
The left winger is Robben, the European Cup silver boot with nine goals and one assist, while the right winger is Italy Team’s main player, Prince Zebra Ancelotti, with two goals and four assists!
Ancelotti is very controversial.
Looking at the data alone, players like Mike Loring, Madeira, Nelka, are not inferior to Ancelotti.
Regarding performance, Ancelotti played poorly in the initial matches except for the last two games.
Overall, other players clearly performed better, with Nelka being arguably superior overall.
However...
The Italy Team winning the European Cup is the biggest bonus!
Ancelotti, while fulfilling his dream, also received a pleasant surprise.
Because of this European Cup, his ranking for the Golden Ball Award this year will significantly improve!
The three best forwards in the front are Germany Team’s main central forward Stiepelman with four goals and three assists, Italy Team’s main central forward Wolf King Perrotta with six goals and three assists, and Spain’s main central forward Domenguez with six goals and two assists.
This glamorous attack lineup is almost the offensive ceiling in major tournaments.
However, some controversies about the match received further discussion afterward.
The officiating referee indeed had issues with misjudgments, and UEFA released a report detailing all the misjudgment processes.
There were six minor favorable calls for the Italy Team, all micro-level misjudgments.
Such misjudgments are unavoidable.
Even in many normal matches, there can be ten to twenty micro misjudgments.
They don’t significantly affect the fairness of the match.
However, the concerning part is that there were eleven favorable calls for the France Team.
Among them was one particularly significant misjudgment, two medium-level misjudgments, and eight micro misjudgments.
The medium misjudgments stemmed from the repercussions of the significant misjudgment.
Specifically, it was the offside goal.
That was a decision that altered the atmosphere of the entire match.
Regarding the main referee issue, UEFA also imposed a relatively severe punishment, making it difficult for him to officiate high-level major events for a short period.
But considering the main referee’s mistakes were "within understandable limits," he should still be able to officiate regular league matches.
In short, this main referee is not a corrupt referee for match-fixing.
Additionally, UEFA also dealt harshly with Bernulin’s penalty.
You’re given the European Cup best lineup, but your malicious foul won’t be tolerated.
Holding Robben, who was about to shoot, is a behavior that absolutely cannot be encouraged.
Bernulin received a five-game suspension as a severe penalty.
Bernulin personally had no objections.
Consider it a break.
San Remo fought on three fronts last season, played the full European Cup in summer, and their Serie A campaign next season likely won’t be easy, Bernulin wishes to have ample time to rest.
He can’t compare to Lu Yang, the kind of robot; the veterans need rest.
And speaking of Bernulin, even youngsters like Canyes, Morici, and Sogel need to seize the next half month to relax their bodies.
