International football always leaves stories that are difficult to explain, and one of them is the amount of talent that will be left out of the next World Cup. In La Pizarra de Quintana, they have put together a truly top-class eleven with players who have failed to qualify with their national teams. A team that, on paper, could compete for everything.
In goal is Gianluigi Donnarumma, a European champion and one of the big names missing. The defense mixes talent and elite present with players such as Alessandro Bastoni or David Hancko, accompanied by Andrei Ratiu and the Ukrainian Ilya Zabarnyi. A line that highlights the failure of teams such as Italy.
Gunpowder in attack
The midfield and the flanks further raise the level. Players such as Dominik Szoboszlai and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia lead a creative group that also includes Bryan Mbeumo. These are players in top form who, despite their performances at club level, will not be on the big international stage.
At the top, the power is indisputable with Victor Osimhen and Benjamin Sesko, two strikers who have moved millions in the market and who symbolize the great coup of teams such as Nigeria. It is a line-up that makes it clear that the World Cup does not always bring together all the best players and that, as they admitted on the program, “could give anyone a run for their money”.
