I love this team. It is not a standard team,, but his arguments for picking the players are very understandable and the team in general looks very balanced.
The balance of the team iis great. You can't have a midfield of Zidane, Kaka and De Bruyne for example, all incredible players but it would never work out. Arne Slot knows what he is talking about
Yes but he also had weaknesses. Off the ball he is Not as good as With the ball, especially on counter attacks. We hardly Saw that weakness since prime Barça were so dominant. When barcelona were less dominant his weaknesses hot exposed a lot more often.

@@Shadow-no6uoDo you know how many trophies pique won, most of the game his defensive partner is not proper CB (masherano, sometime buisqets).

In my opinion I will change Trent for Cafu because of his deffensive problems. This team will win all the game even any opponent. Not only Gerrard and modric will feed the ball to strikers also will help the deffemders with their immense stamina and physicality.
i'am not gonna lie as Madrid Fan , but Sergio Ramos was a lot better than Pique in every aspect , defending , Attacking , scoring goals , Leadership , i dont hate Pique or something but just want to said the truth
@@wietsesinnaeve1983wtf are you talking about ? Ramos played better teams in the ucl and was locking down the best players . Pique went out at quarters and played nobodies and they still scored a lot of goals against him . Ramos literally had to defend his side and marcelo's side
@@abysswalker9677 Ramos might be the better player but Pique was the better defender and stats prove that .. Barcelona's defence has conceded fewer goals in the era when both of them were the leaders of the backline in Barca and Madrid. People overlook Pique bcz of Madrid's success in the UCL but let's be honest here that's down to the whole team not just defence or backline
Yep - very clear what he was doing. Still pretty smooth. I am not one for going for abusive praise of someone who’s been in a position for 6 months. And it’s easy to look cool when the results are great. Still it’s a nice touch. And it’s one of several clues that the guy seem to have both some good tactical sense and is a relatively smooth communicator. Which, if confirmed, is a pretty powerful combo. He has been nearly flawless so far. Possibly not being able to use Endo and Darwin numbers collapsing might be the only criticisms and they are mild. A manager has a right to choose a tactic that favor some players and is problematic for others. Also have a slight concern about his public criticism about the team sometimes. But apparently Dutch can be very direct. And to some extent it can be useful , just be wary of overdoing it. But overall he drew the best of what he received . I hope Pool backs him up in the transfer market this winter. Quite curious about what he can do when he gets some players of his own. And it might solve the overrelianfe of Pool on Gravenberch and Salah.
That's a brilliant and well-balanced team. Bet not many would have thought about this selection. Messi playing False 9 with all great dribbles, Salah - Ronaldo playing inside forward, and crosses from TAA to Ronaldo wouldve been nightmare for the opposition defense. This team would've been a goal-scoring machine.
Frank de boer the only one i didn't watch playing, the rest of them are great choices. Messi can play false 9/10 position and the 2 wingers can play as an inside forward 🔥
That lineup would be terrifying and especially on counter attacks..Salah & Ronaldo will rip apart with Messi's technical creativity & playmaking prowess🙌👍👏
Great balance because with those 3 attackers you really don‘t need that offensive middlefielder so choosing cm’s who offer both offensive and defensive qualities on the (nearly) highest lvl is a smart move and could even work in real life very well
Trent can pick a direct ball to Ronaldo and goal. VVD can pick Salah on the wings. Messi can release both Salah and Ronaldo on the wings. Busquets can deliver forward passes in any condition. Gerard is a perfect leader for a team and Long ranger Modric is fantastic in his position whether it's lofted passing or trivela or long ranger goals. Salah and Ronaldo can always come inside flying from the wings and score goals Incredible team
Why Slot didn't mention Clarence Seedorf is beyond me. I didn't watch peak Seedorf but I've seen enough to say he complement this team more than anything. He just get overlooked a lot. Shout-out for picking Pique. He might not be the most athletic or flashy type. But man does his job quietly. But that spot belong to Ramos. Though dirty but a mentality monster. Playing with Van Dijk will surely bring out the best in him!
It’s not your standard midfield that most would pick but Gerrard & Busquets very athletic high energy still posing a lot of threat. Don’t think you need Trent in this team, it’s offensive overkill lol
imo, my formation would also be 4-3-3. In goal, alisson. Right back, carvajal, cb van dijk, other cb, maldini. Lb, Roberto Carlos. Midfielders: cm, Gerrard, other cm, zidane, cam, cruyff. Attackers: rw, messi. Lw, Ronaldo, st, lewa. lmk if you would make any changes and what they would be.
I think kroos could also be chosen as cm in place of gerrard his passes are fantastic. His previous champions league (2023-24) performance was so good and important
I would have Puyol over Pique😢...that is probably one of the few nonLFC captain that I respect.😊 Edit: Arne's dream UCL squad have a couple of Alphas....so someone like Puyol or Maldini or Totti....would have the charisma to handle them all.
@@Buenossss True true, but I first thought he'd lean heavily into dutch GOAT's, and you can't get around those 3 (who both scored in CL finals and won the EURO 1988 with Netherlands) :D
Well going by his selection, it's only from the UCL era (post 1992) and not european cup. Koeman only won it in '92, which was still the european cup and not the champions league. So I don't think he would even be eligible, since he had to pick Champions League winners. Van Basten won 2 european cups and only 1 Champions League trophy (in 1994). However he barely played in it, due to a big injury which basically ended his career at age 28.
@@Jordy4610 Yeah, Van Basten & Koeman wouldn't really count into the CL era. But Rijkaard's still eligible (95 with Ajax) besides his 2 in a row with Milan (and scoring the only goal in 1990). Gotta admit I was mostly baffled by Pique, but I forgot Koeman's final winner was juust the very last game before the "Champions League" re-branding in 92/93.
@@Metalton95 Yeah, I agree. Eventough I think Pique gets to much stick nowadays because of how his career ended..... he shouldn't make this team realistically👍

Messi as a false 9 with mo salah and CR7 being the flying goalscoring wingers
Sheeesh no defenses can stop that
They also can swap positions easily because the 3 of them play the three positions 🔥
All of the 3 can played anywhere at fronts. No problem about who's wingers and striker.

@@AndreasMszz pique gets overlooked because he was bad towards the end and that's what people remember. At his best he was a monster

don't think he will/can
