Since this is a classic 4-4-2, it is only sensible to have a right-footed dribbler, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, to play on the right-wing. The Manchester United man adds substantial quality on the right with his creativity and is perhaps the best player on this team.
In the centre, former Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Jakub Blaszczykowski, also known as Kuba, takes up the role of the creative playmaker at the centre of the pitch along with the captain’s armband. Indeed, Kuba’s leadership qualities were the reason why he captained his country for a considerable amount of time before passing it on to Robert Lewandowski.
Partnering him in the centre is another very trickily named Krzysztof Mczyski of Wisla Krakow. The 29-year-old isn’t as famous as his midfield partners, but has the quality to partner Kuba given that he has already done so for Poland.
On the left wing, one of Kuba’s former team-mates, Kevin Großkreutz, has been chosen to partner Artur Jdrzejczyk on that flank. Back in Dortmund’s glory days under Jurgen Klopp, Großkreutz was one of the players that helped the German side topple the giants Bayern Munich from their perch.
