Euro 2016: Greatest Germany XI of all time

Formation

The Germany XI in a 4-4-2 formation formation

Subs: Mesut Ozil, Miroslav Klose, Manuel Neuer, Jurgen Kohler, Bernd Schuster, Thomas Muller

If this team lined up together today they would do so in the 4-4-2 formation. Klinsmann and Muller would no doubt lead the line. Lother Matthaus who was a box to box will serve as the midfield general of the team dictating things from deep.

Ballack generally plays the central role but can also play on the right because of his versatility. Effenberg is on the left and the great Rummennigge at the tip of the midfield diamond.

The back four looks like a very formidable one with the captain without a doubt being Beckenbauer. Kahn and Lahm along with Ballack are the only players from the last decade or so who make the XI.
