---------------------------------------ISOTOPE-------------------------------------------------------------------GENERAL ELEGANCIA---------------------------------------
TEAM ISOTOPE
A nice 4-3-3 with robust attack, intense midfield, and watertight defence. Team settings are normal attack and defensive line, with slightly direct passing.
Marco van Basten leads the attack, and is flanked by Garrincha and Sir Tom Finney. The wingers can play as a traditional winger (including first rate delivery on crosses), who also pose significant goal threat. Finney provides industrious engine to the side.
Central midfield are controlled by three hardworking box to box / playmakers, with their rare elite combination of creativity and defensive ability. In Matthaus, we have a tour de force 10 with the combativeness to also contribute in general midfield tussles (Invictus, 2018). Coluna and Schuster will provide powerhouse support, and creativity from the back.
All-time great Gk Yashin is bulwarked by defensive beasts of Desailly and Shesternyov, a classic combination of power, speed, and elegant. Stam as right back, is taking Djalma Santos role behind Garrincha, as defensively astute fullback. Where Marzolini, greatest Argentina left-back, is guarding on the opposite side.
TEAM GENERAL ELEGANCIA
Goalkeeper: Pat Jennings one of the best gk in history of the game.His biggest strength are superb reflexes,commanding the box and positioning.
Defense: Bobby Moore and Nemanja Vidic will pair it perfectly both will support and make the best of each other.Moore's reading the game,anticipation and tactical awareness will cooperate with Vidic's superb tackling ability,heading and concentration.It's hard to deal with Van Basten everyone knows but if that person can match his incredible aerial dominance and on the ground,that person would be Vidic.
Left and Right back: Welcome back from injury Djalma Santos,one of the best rb in the history of the game.His biggest ability in his playing days was shutting down the left wing/attackers and he was not bad at offensive too. In this game he will deal with Sir Tom Finley one of the best wingers ever and it will be great match-up for both of them.Another one is Antonio Cabrini one of the best lb ever too,his biggest strengths was overlapping, crossing and supporting attackers. In this game he will support Seeler in the left flank and will make some great crosses.
My defenders are very solid in defense and in term of ball playing skills none of them are mediocre(even Vidic too).
Three of my defenders are World Champion and in term of team of tournament my defenders are in team of tournament for 4times(Djalma in 1954,1958 and 1962 and Moore in 1966)
"A great footballer, complete, he was the first modern right-back, and above all a great man" (Pelé about Djalma Santos)
Midfielders:I will not describe long.All of them are complete midfielders and have great workrates too.Van Hanegem in this game will be my team backbone,he will be b2b midfileder who control the tempo of the game,make great passes to my front three and assists Ronaldo.His role is the mix of Classic no 10 and b2b.Another man is Osvaldo Ardiles,in this game he will play his best role in the right side of central midfield.He will run up and down for defence and support attacks.The last one Graeme Souness great midfielders from Liverpool,another complete midfielders with great tackling skill,defense,support attacks and will bring mentality to my team.In this game he will be cdm,his role will screen the ball before defenders and will protect the other two(Ardiles and Van Hanegem).In his playing days he had great ball skills and often a lot of times started the attacks from the back/deep too.So in this game he suits best in this role and will start the attack from that position too.
my midfield strengths: All of them have excellent work rates and will run and down for my team.
-All of them have great ball-playing skills.
-All of them can exchange position during the game perfectly.
-All of them have great mentality.
-All of them will run and tackle like pitbulls when they lose the ball.
Attackers: Uwe Seeler one of the best strikers ever will be continue in my team,in this game he will play at left forward/wing forward.
Why I choose him to play at lw?
Ans Although Seeler was known for his heading abilties,scoring and selfless habbit he was known for great workrates and teamwork too.In this game in the right side Isotope's team has Garrincha and I won't let him isolating him Cabrini alone.So Seeler is the best suit for this role due to his great stamina and versatily to adapt the role.In this game he will run down a lot of times to help left flank to defense against Garrincha too.Just like Foden did last week against Salah,run down to defense against Salah and did attacking parts too.
Although I know that Seeler and Foden are so much different player but the reason I show Man City formation graphic because I want to show that lw role in Man City must help defense a lot of times and in this game Seeler plays at lw/lf and he must help Cabrini and teammates to track down against Garrincha.
Enzo Francescoli will be my creative force in this game.He will create my attacks to Seeler and Ronaldo,make some great passes,dribblings and scoring to my team.In this game he will have a lot of freedoms to drift to central area.
Ronaldo:I won't describe him,one of the greatest strikers ever.His biggest strengths are dribbling,speed and finishing.He will make your defenders in trouble.
First of all I would like to say there is no way to marking Garrincha out of the game and I won't use man-marking tactics agianst him too.I have a lot of better choices than man-marking ways,so let's start
1.Garrincha will also be zonally marked,he will step-out in zone of Van hanegem responsibility.
2.When Garrincha will get the ball,he will immediatly surrounded by 4/5 players(maybe Cabrini,Souness,Van Hanegem,Moore and Seeler) and he will lost the ball for sure.
3.When he try to drop deep,he will followed by one of the goat defenders "Bobby Moore" and sometimes Vidic will follow him too.
4.He will surrounded by 3-4 players who can all either close the passing lane to him,or press him when he receives the ball.
5.When he gets free Bobby Moore will take care him and Seeler will recover run to help defense.
6.My midfielders with excellent work rate will help each other to reduce the space as much as they can.
7.Bobby Moore vs Jairzinho changes to Bobby Moore vs Garrincha
8.Cabrini wasn't bad in defense during playing days.So he will not pass Cabrini easy too when in isolation scenerios.
9.When Garrincha has the ball,my center back will exhange the side(for sometimes not everytime).Moore from right to left (Garrincha's side) and Vidic from left to right.
Bobby Moore vs Brazil(Jairzinho was tackled by Moore)
