1978 is the Year of the Horse in China, and football stars born in this year are slightly less famous than football stars born in 1976, but all three lines are also world-class star combinations, with six of the top 11 winners winning the World Cup or the European Cup, and almost all the others winning the Champions League and the four major leagues.
Klose
Which football stars born in 1978 have won the World Cup? The answer is Buffon and Gattuso of Italy, Klose of Germany, Lucio of Brazil, Puyol of Spain.
Which footballer born in 1978 has won the European Cup? The answer is Carvalho of Portugal.
The top 11 also includes Carvalho's two team-mates at Chelsea – Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, two other Champions League and top flight winners Ferdinand, Samuel, and the only inductive star who has not succeeded in Europe is Argentina's Riquelme, who has 1 Toyota Cup, 2 Copa Libertadores, 4 Argentine Footballers of the Year and 1 Olympic gold medal.
Riquelme
Among the best 11 men in the 1978 class, in addition to goalkeeper Buffon, there are as many as five defenders, namely Puyol, Lucio, Carvalho, Ferdinand and Samuel, almost all of them are from central defenders; 3 midfielders, Gattuso, Frank Lampard, Riquelme; 2 strikers, K god Klose, Warcraft Drogba.
If you consider the balance of attack and defense, one player can be added to the midfield, Serbia's Stankovic, the strength of the national team limits Stankovic's honor at the national team level, but the club has 5 Serie A titles (Inter Milan, Lazio) and 1 Champions League (Inter Milan, non-main team), and is worthy of the best team in terms of strength.
