There are some stars in the history of football who are personally strong and when they stand side by side, it feels even more invincible!
1. Platini, Tigana, Girese
The first midfielder Triangle title in world football began with the trio of Platini, Giresse and Tigana, the only French triangle that could account for most of the win against Italian reinforced concrete, and their combination won all the honors of football, except for the lack of a Hercules Cup. They reached the top of Europe in 1984 with a winning record, but two years later the World Cup in Mexico collapsed and missed the final.
Platini, Giresse and Tigana constitute a strong midfield triangle, Platini is the "Napoleon" of French football, known as the best midfielder of the 80s of the 20th century, Tigana and Giresse are super barriers in midfield, and it is because of their protection behind Platini that he can fully play his attacking talent.
2. Harvey, Iniesta, Busquets
As the core of Barça and Spain, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets are indispensable to the Iron Triangle lineup of coaches. The trio have pushed pass-and-control football to the pinnacle, reaching the pinnacle of excellence, and have an unparalleled grasp of the rhythm of the game, sweeping not only European football in the club, but also invincible in the Spanish national team, which is the magic weapon for Barça and Spain to win.
Harvey is the brain, Iniesta is the transmission, and Busquets is the hard armor. Their seven seasons together have brought Barça three Champions League titles, five league titles, and together they have created the miracle of a six-time and two quinquebles. In the national team, the trio teamed up to bring the World Cup to Spain.
3. Zidane, Vieira, Makelele
This is probably the strongest individual combination. Zidane is talented and talented, mainly responsible for the team's organization and attack; Makelele is the representative of the beast waist, is a midfield sweeper, his defensive area can cover the entire central midfield; Vieira is physically strong and both offensive and defensive. The presence of the three of them has made the French team like a tiger, killing all sides in the European arena, and rarely meeting opponents.
In the 2006 World Cup final, the French team with Zidane, Vieira and Makelele suppressed Italy, and many people believe that if Zidane was not sent off with a red card, resulting in France's lack of a backbone, France would have won the World Cup.
4. Kaka, Pirlo, Gattuso
At that time, Kaka's state was in full swing, the Golden Ball Award, the World Footballer of the Year, can be described as vigorous, coupled with his handsome appearance, fascinated a group of girls; Gattuso is a meat grinder in midfield, a defensive stalwart; Pirlo was another generation of midfield masters, the most balanced midfield triangle in football at the time, and they took Milan to a new level that is difficult to find in modern times.
5. Frank Lampard, Makelele, Essien
This is the midfield triangle of Jose Mourinho's first phase of Chelsea, and the peak period is the ultimate balance of attack and defense, which together shapes the glory of Chelsea in the first phase of Mourinho. Frank Lampard, Makelele and Essien, although they have different characteristics, but the combination is endlessly powerful.
Frank Lampard is a top attacking midfielder, albeit not very organised, but his ability to plug in the back is among the best, and Makelele has outstanding interception ability and is responsible for keeping an eye on the core of the opposing midfield. At the 2006 World Cup, Makelele at his peak made the star-studded Brazilian team suffer and became an insurmountable wall for their opponents. Nicknamed the Bison, Essien was at his peak like a light tank, roaming between two forbidden areas.
6. Modric, Kroos, Casemiro
Starting with Real Madrid's first Champions League under Zidane, the combination of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro as midfielders has been the ace line-up. Modric, as a metronome for the midfield, ended the monopoly of the "Mero era" on the Ballon d'Or!
After Kroos arrived at Real Madrid, his performance was obvious to all, with long passes from the back, finding loopholes in the opponent's back line every time, being able to organize, but also relying on body and awareness to participate in defense, this style of play also made fans forget the pain of Alonso's departure from the team!
Although Casemiro is a second player, he has matured more and more after tempering, and his tireless running has completely made up for the defensive deficiencies of Modric and Kroos. When the team is in a deadlock, his violent shot from the back often has unexpected effects.
7. Gerard, Alonso, Mascherano
Gerrard is in charge of attacking, Alonso is in charge of long balls, and Mascherano is in charge of defense, all three of them do their jobs and work together seamlessly! From 2006 to 2009, the Liverpool midfield triangle combination created by Benitez was limited by the depth of the team's bench and the club's economic strength at that time, and only won one Premier League runner-up and one Champions League runner-up, but the overall strength, offensive and defensive rationality and hardness of this combination are also very perfect.
At that time, the reason why Liverpool was called a tough bone when it was strong was mainly because of the top midfield composed of these three plus Torres, who sealed his throat with a sword, in the strong dialogue, Liverpool often directly faced the opponent, and the slightest mistake will be crushed by the powerful impact of these three, 4-0 away to Real Madrid and 4-1 win over Manchester United is the best example!
