There is only one champion, but the top 11 that make up the ideal team come from styles and squads that performed above the rest.
The World Cup Qatar 2022 It left surprises, confirmed maxims and enabled many of the best footballers in the world to shine with their national teams, or else with their own light, as happened in the case of teams that were knocked out before the expected time and disappointed were in their mission.
Along with the endorsement of the present from stars like Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, the attack forms that TARGET has chosen to be part of the Cup’s ideal XI, there are several proper names rushing in to make the jump to a more competitive destination, or legends giving their final appearance in the most important international concert of them all.
bond; Achraf, Otamendi, Gvardiol, Theo; Tchouameni, Amrabat, Modric, Gakpo; Messi and Mbappé, the XI of the World Cup.
GOALKEEPER
The first person responsible for Morocco reaching the semi-finals is the collective itself. But Bono, the Sevilla goalkeeper, reached the semi-finals after a goal. Little or nothing could be done there against a powerful French attack that again exchanged a final for Les Bleus. Bono was extraordinary throughout the cup, an unparalleled promise of guarantee.
In the bronze medal game, he recovered from a Moroccan false start with a save from Modric.
DEFENSES
The defense is protected by Achraf Hakimi and Theo Hernández on the flanks. The PSG striker is arguably the most intense in his position, and during the match his tandem combinations with Hakim Ziyech were routinely productive for Walid Regragui’s outside aspirations. Added to this, it is relevant to quantify that the former Real Madrid had to resist as the only defender to start playing the tournament until the last day due to injuries of all his teammates (Saiss, Aguerd and Mazraoui), who had to overcome the task adapt to substitutes. Theo also had to deal with unpredictable things, such as the injury of his brother Lucas, which opened the doors for him to become the regular piece for Didier Deschamps. Sharp, he added depth to a rather static defense through weight and eventually showed offensive qualities, such as the goal in the quarter-finals.
The centrals, Josko Gvardiol and Nicolás Otamendi. Experienced Argentine defender shone in the World Cup, the last at full level for the development that his career has gone through, becoming the pattern for Scaloni and Dibu Martínez, the owner of the first start, the connection with the midfielder who led the Andes coaching varied staff and a fierce and powerful member of the Air Force in both areas of Argentina. Meanwhile, the young Croatian piece could play with any position except Lionel Messi. Awake and fast, ideal for the zonal duel, he took advantage one on one and between solvency and balance strengthened the last line of the third in the world. He found exactly a price on the decisive day of the Khalifa, crowning a dream month with a goal that will allow him to position himself as the great successor to Vida.
MIDDLE FIELDS
Sofyan Amrabat is the most influential midfielder in the World Cup. The safest pass in Qatar. The soul of Morocco. And of an entire Africa that carried its flag. Fiorentina’s 5 brought more ease to his team, he broke brand lines, suddenly he seemed to be the libero, he was victorious in the kilometers covered and his character infected his teammates with a confidence that no one else could touch in that lane.
Cody Gakpo won the affection of the fans for his fighting spirit, punching power, goal, association, ability to play from any midfield position to the attack without even hiding the responsibility of being the finisher of the actions in a team that rests on his striker but with Van Gaal, versatility was taken as a sign to lead himself, with the PSV midfielder maximizing the style.
Cody Gakpo won the affections of the fans for his fighting spirit and ability to play from any midfield position to attack, even without hiding the responsibility of being the finisher of the plays in a side that rests its centre-forward , but that it is useful, versatility was taken as a sign to be guided by the psg steering wheel as maximum representation of the style.
For Luka Modric a world championship of 10 points without reproaches. The ultimate midfielder. And the joy of a medal that doesn’t hurt, unlike the silver in 2018. If Croatia ditched their rivals until the semi-finals without complacency, it’s largely due to their hearts always being active. In fact, when he left the field, his team no longer had a chance to beat Lionel Messi’s Argentina. Modric is a living legend to fans and colleagues alike, and as one of Real Madrid’s captains and maximum champion of the Champions League, watching him dance at the World Cup for the last time at the age of 37 was an obligation. incomparable pleasure. Even Brazil had to surrender to the talent of the former Tottenham Hotspur, who still have the qualities to lead in a Eurocup, but understand that Croatia must strive for the complete renewal of the Russian vice-championship. The fullness of a physique that allowed him to overcome even 120 minutes and the rigor of matches every 72 hours coincided with one of the strongest football states seen in the magician’s career.
No one else can say of Aurélien Tchouaméni that he must mature into something other than what he is. The number 8 for France is a fact, as his influence in both areas is related to guiding him to the most defensive fence, but also taking over from Griezmann in giving the last pass to the receivers that pushed France into a triad until the last match against Argentina. His amazing volley goal against England is one of the best definitions of the month and his outburst, although brought on by a series of injuries, proved to be beyond expectations and with the clarity of what the raw material Deschamps’ team has for over a decade while entrusting the most concentrated work tasks to young people who responded with enough self-assurance to defeat the daily imponderables present in a pragmatic and winning squad.
FRONT SIDES
Lionel Messi showed one of his best and fullest and deadliest versions. Leo from Qatar 2022 is incorrigible, unstoppable, a great goalscorer and also able to lead from the center circle, the creative midfielder’s lane and the flanks. Messi plays Messi, in the Messi position, empowered as Messi, in dealing with Messi’s successors and the close friends of Messi’s thousand battles. And his partner will of course be Kylian Mbappé, who does the same as Messi but starts a few meters further. With fewer crowds and a high percentage of cold blood, the other star of a PSG who smiles daily during the World Cup, still failing to shine in all matches, was present and attacking better than everyone else.
WHAT DOES THE XI LOOK LIKE?
A very mobile 4-4-2 that can easily be coupled to a 4-3-3 with Gakpo behind Leo and Kylian on the other side.
