Key Highlights:
- Team is built to get the best out of the best player on the pitch - Michel Platini
- Rock solid back 4 with two standout defenders in Wright and Forster. Forster's incredible man marking skills would be crucial in tackling the thread of Muller.
- Brehme and Alves providing the width, few better at the job at hand there. Brehme crossing to Sanchez up front would make for a clear cut route to goal.
- Del Piero and Sanchez make a very complimentary partnership, with Hugo occupying the defenders and getting at the end of service inside the penalty area and ADP working his favourite left channel, allowing Platini the space to bomb forward and dropping deep or going for goal, if required.
- One of the best players in the world at his peak and regarded by many as one of the greatest players to have played the game, "Charro" Moreno was the leader of one of the greatest attacks South America has seen, known as La Máquina, or The Machine. A faultless player, complete in every way, in controlling the ball, in dribbling past opponents, in creating chances for others, in winning the ball back in midfield and in being in the right place at the right time to put the ball in the back of the net, Moreno captivated audiences like few others, and the ones who watched him still regard him as one of the best players they have seen. He was a mentor to Di Stefano, and here's a small story about the two:
- One of these stories tells of a match against Tigre, when Moreno was hit in the head by a projectile from the stands and went down, bleeding profusely. Di Stefano recalls that he asked if he should call for assistance, and Moreno replied with an angry profanity. He got back up, called the young DiStefano and told him: ‘Kid, listen to me carefully. If a player goes down on the field and he doesn’t get back up on his own, it better be because he's dead.' Moreno continued playing as if nothing had happened. Di Stefano was impressed by that incident, and throughout his great career, no matter how hurt he was, he never asked for assistance from the bench. Di Stefano adds that he is glad that Moreno isn’t around to watch today’s players, as they shamefully fall down and stay down over the most minimal contact.
- Incredible goal threat in that front 4 - Sanchez won the Pichichi award FIVE times, ADP peaked with a 32 goal season, has 7 20+ goal seasons and over 300 goals in his career. Platini won the top scorer in Serie A in the 80s for 3 years in a row as well as phenomenal scoring returns for France in Euro 84. And Moreno has over 200 goals in his career. With the combination of skills in terms of creativity, dribbling, link up play, there is no way they won't score here.
Playing a lop sided 4-4-2.. Allan Simonsen nominally starts on the left but is given license to switch flanks as necessary. Gullit to pull the strings in midfield with support from Giles and Davids..Gerd Muller to score the Goals and Jon Walters is there to chase the opposition centerbacks/defensive midfielder and make a nuisance of himself
Passarella will lead the defense with Hansen (both comfortable on the ball). He'll step up to stop Platini along with Davids dropping deep.
Tony Dunne was Man United's starting left back for a number for years and the starter for the 1968 European cup victory
