Vs.
Team Don Alfredo
My philosophy is to play attacking football, based on the breathtaking quality of my front 4. I added Kevin De Bruyne to my side, the perfect number 10 to compliment Neymar, Cavani and Nani. I specifically wanted him because he is not a ball-hogger, he knows when to release the ball and he likes to feed others with his great passes, vision and crosses. Additionally, he is a big threat from distance, having one of the best shots in the world from outside the box. His work rate is unparalleled among number 10s, which became exemplary at City and Belgium. He played with just one “proper” midfielder behind him on several occasions and still excelled at key moments in attacking situations.
He has more support from behind this time, with Pjanic taking over the playmaking from deep and giving De Bruyne the license to be the talismanic number 10 he is so great at.
Pjanic-Witsel is the right combination of passing, work-rate, physicality and press resistance to give my attackers the platform to shine. Maybe some people just watched Witsel playing as a defensive midfielder at the World Cup, but he is also showing his class at Dortmund. He plays next to 5 teenagers at Dortmund and has to be a calming presence, both on and off the ball, which he does marvellously. Last season, Dortmund struggled big time because of their weak midfield, but Witsel transformed it and now they are sitting at the top of Bundesliga.
My side is backed by a rock-solid defence, starting at the back with The Best keeper of the year, Thibaut Courtois. Filipe Luis is the best defensive full back in the pool and Cahill is a no-nonsense defender with one of the greatest club careers in English football. 1 Champions League, 1 Europa League, 2 Premier League Titles, 2 FA Cups and 3 PFA Team of the Year nominations show his worth as an excellent stopper. Defensive stalwart Jerome Boateng comes in, at his peak from 2013-2015 he was pure world-class. In that period, he won the World Cup, the Champions League and many other national and international trophies. He is a great fit for Cahill because he is very fast, great on the ball, very talented in anticipating passes and a vocal leader. Florenzi compliments my back 5 with relentless work-rate, stamina and quality on the ball to bring the ball out of defence.
Why I will win
Dem 5 star skills blud
Team Big Dunk
A fluid and attacking 4-3-3 formation.
We will encourage our complete fullbacks to attack and combine with our talented wingforwards. Our wingforwards, Pedro and Insigne, can cut in, drive both down and inside their flank. They are both quick and agile, deadly in both possession and fast attacking transitions. Kane can drop in and/or play the focal target man role, creating space for his wingforwards. Kane is not only a prolific goalscorer, but an all-round footballer who will relish the link up play with Mata and Insigne. Our offense has plenty of flair with Juan Mata the creative centre point in midfield. Our attack has pace, power, intelligent movement, creativity and a deadly cutting edge.
Our balanced midfield trio comprises of Marchisio, a skilled two-way midfielder, who will provide the link between defence and offence alongside Nainggolan by intercepting balls and disrupting the opposition's play, while also looking to orchestrate attacking moves with their passing after winning back possession. Nainggolan has a box to box role - a complete midfielder whose tenacity, strength and technical abilities will solidify our defensive and attacking phases. Mata is my playmaking attacking midfielder, whose ball control, vision and passing will bring out the best of Kane, Insigne and Pedro. Nainggolan and Marchisio can cover each other’s and our fullback’s attacking movements, dictate the play centrally and provide the utmost protection in front of our back four. They also allow Mata to concentrate on his creative/attacking plays in the last third. The defensive and attacking workrate of my midfield and attack is very impressive. My midfield has strength, goals, tenacity, creativity, defensive balance and tactical intelligence.
A solid back four is built upon two defensive legends - centrebacks Ramos and Godin. Their leadership, intelligent positioning, expert marking, concentration and big game influence is highly significant in this match. On the flanks we have two of the best modern fullbacks to have played for their respective club and country: Marcelo and Piszczek. Marcelo, Ramos and Godin are even regarded as all-time legends within their position. The ever consistent Lopes is in goal, where we will rely on his worldclass reflexes and ball handling. Very clever and experienced defenders who will provide the best platform for my attackers to win the game. We possess the best defensive players to combat the creative/attacking talents of our opponent.
