Where there is competition, there is comparison, and the best standard in everyone's mind is different, so when it comes to the topic of "best team", it always leads to a heated discussion among fans. Recently, Barca goalkeeper Ter Stegen was asked to line up the best squad among players with whom he had been teammates in an interview with the media.
To be honest, seeing such a question, when not seeing the choice of the little lion king, the outside world almost thinks in one direction - isn't this almost the best lineup in Paibaça in recent years? But after seeing the answer, the outside world began to question after the surprise, let's first look at Ter Stegen's choice:
Goalkeeper: Blaswich, backline: Alba, Pique, Rudiger, Alves, midfielders: Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, De Jong, forwards: Reus, Götze
The goalkeeper position did not choose German national team teammate Neuer, but chose Borussia Borussia Braswich. This is understandable, because of the competition from germany's main goalkeeper, Ter Stegen's relationship with Neuer is average, and this choice is obviously emotional.
But the choice of midfield is basically not much of a doubt. At their peak, Alba, Pique and Alves were even capable of being among the best in Barca's history, and they were the cornerstones of Barca's glory days. Not to mention Habeb, these 3 midfielders have become synonymous with Barca's "Cosmos" era. All 3 have a historical level of control ability, cooperate with tacit understanding, and firmly control the lifeblood of Barca's attack and defense conversion.
But De Jong's "How Can Ho Tak" appear here? There is also more than one teammate who is stronger than De Jong in the German national team, such as Kimisi. So, this is yet another place to spark controversy.
However, the biggest controversy is in the front line, and I believe the fans have seen it. Yes, no Messi, Suarez, or Neymar. "In Ter Stegen's eyes, Messi, Suarez, and Neymar are not as good as Reus and Götze?" Fans' skepticism is justified.
In terms of personal ability, Messi is at the historical level, winning 7 golden balls in the past 10 years, breaking one goal record after another. And Ter Stegen has been a teammate with Messi for 7 years, and he stood in front of the door to watch how Messi performed magically in one game after another. In addition, in those years, Messi, Suarez and Neymar formed a trident that surpassed Europe in offensive firepower.
In particular, in the 2014-15 season, Messi scored 58 goals in the league and contributed 31 assists, Suarez 25 goals and 24 assists, Neymar 39 goals and 11 assists, and the trio scored a total of 122 goals and 66 assists, which is undoubtedly unprecedented in football.
While the so-called best lineup certainly carries a subjective element, the lack of "MSN", especially the absence of Messi, the best lineup selected by Ter Stegen, made up of teammates, plummeted in convincing. If you insist on finding a reason, you can only say that his relationship with Reus and Götze is good. If you want to add friends, then you can only collectively abandon "MSN".
