The European football season is about to enter its final 2 months and now the best players of the national championships have been revealed. We still often make the typical team of tournaments, so what will the typical team of all Europe look like? FourFourTwo magazine implements this idea with the 4-4-2 diagram.
Michele Di Gregorio has been with Monza since his time in Serie B
Defense
Although every league has great goalkeepers, from Inter Milan’s Yann Sommer to Liverpool’s Alisson, FourFourTwo chose Monza’s Michele De Gregorio. This team from the suburbs of Milan is ranked 10th in Serie A despite having one of the least qualified squads in the tournament, because their 26-year-old goalkeeper has saved 93 times in Serie A and kept 11 clean sheets. Gregorio is going for the second consecutive season keeping Monza in the middle of the Serie A rankings and next season Juventus may bring him back.
In front of Gregorio, midfielder Virgil Van Dijk has no opponents in the air (winning 84.3% of aerial duels) and is achieving a very high accuracy rate of 93.9%. His partner is a strange name: Alessandro Buongiorno helped Torino concede the 4th fewest goals in Serie A this season and is leading the tournament in the number of passes cut (50), the ability to read the game is very good to go with it. Strong body and height of 1m90.
FourFourTwo magazine ranked Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala together in the two central midfielder positions of this typical team. Bellingham has scored 16 goals in 22 La Liga matches for Real Madrid while Musiala has scored 10 goals & 6 assists for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. Personally, Musiala is the third best dribbler in Europe.
The former duo of the England youth team are now the top midfielders in Europe but for two different teams
The right wing belongs to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who has 15 goals & 9 assists to help Liverpool win the Premier League. Although Salah’s performance this season is not as good as in previous seasons, he still outperforms other right-wing players in Europe, especially Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer or Jarrod Bowen in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, the left wing has many good players, but Leroy Sane left a big impression because of his chemistry with Harry Kane. Sane has 8 goals & 11 assists this season, of which 5 assists are for Kane. Although Vinicius (Real Madrid – 12 goals & 4 assists) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (10 goals & 4 assists) also played very well, Sane created an agreement with his striker to make the entire attack level up. .
Striker
Harry Kane has 31 goals & 7 assists after 26 Bundesliga matches for Bayern Munich. He is on track to break Robert Lewandowski’s Bundesliga scoring record even though he is playing his first season in Germany. Although Leverkusen is far ahead of Bayern in the Bundesliga, Kane’s Bayern is still the team scoring the most goals with a difference of 10 goals compared to Leverkusen.
Mbappe and Kane are the best strikers this season in Europe
Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe has scored 24 times in 24 matches in Ligue 1 for PSG, as well as 6 goals in 8 matches in the Champions League and 7 goals in 4 matches in the Coupe de France. Both Kane and Mbappe are in the top 2 positions in the European Golden Shoe race, so there is no doubt that they occupy the 2 striker positions.
