Euro 2008 Star Players
May 30, 2008
Here are the star players for the tournament:
Petr Cech (Czech Republic) - The best goalkeeper in the world, bar none. Big Petr will be a formidable presence in goal for the under-rated Czechs, behind solid defenders in Rozenhal, Jankulovski, Grygera and Ujfalisi. With a relatively straightforward group to negotiate, the Czech Republic could finally live up to their perennial billing as dark horses.
Gianluigi Buffon (Italy) - Son of a discus-thrower and a weightlifter, Gigi was always going to be good with his hands. Buffon is the cornerstone of the tightest defence in world football, and will always prove good value for money. With Italy finding themselves drawn in the competition’s toughest group, though, will Buffon and co make the knockout stages?
Artur Boruc (Poland) - Poland’s most famous player, Boruc has been linked with a string of Europe’s top clubs. Artur seems quite happy in Glasgow, though, stirring up controversy at the drop of a hat. Best to avoid him this time - unless bonus points are introduced for making obscene gestures to the crowd.
Edwin van der Sar (Netherlands) - One of the world’s top ‘keepers for over a decade, Edwin is set to retire from international football after this tournament and will intend to bow out in style. There’s no doubting van der Sar’s technical ability, but the giant ‘keeper has become prone to the odd lapse of concentration as the years look to be catching up with him.
Iker Casillas (Spain) - Only 26, the Spain captain seems to have been playing at the top level forever. Spain’s group is fairly straightforward, but with Italy, the Netherlands and France lining up as potential quarter-final opponents, picking Casillas must be considered a calculated risk.
Ricardo Carvalho (Portugal) - Forget John Terry, the Portuguese is Chelsea’s best defender. If only Ricardo was English; not only would he shore up the defence, but Wazza would have to find another groin to ‘fall’ onto boot first at crucial interludes of major tournaments. Portugal have an easy ride in the group stages, and Carvalho looks to represent great value.
Philipp Lahm (Germany) - The outstanding player in the outstanding defence of the tournament’s favourites. A right-footed left-back, he is equally at home on either flank. It’s little wonder that Manchester United and Barcelona are reportedly battling it out for his signature this summer.
Patrice Evra (France) - There’s no doubting Evra’s qualities, both attacking and defensive, but France have more quality left-backs than you can shake a flag of surrender at. With Evra, Abidal, Clichy, Silvestre and more to choose from, Raymond Domenech is spoilt for choice. Evra will be great value if he plays, but Eric Abidal looks favourite for the number 3 shirt at present.
William Gallas (France) - Gallas is gaining a reputation as a moody and disruptive presence, but don’t let that fool you; the Frenchman is the best defender in the Premiership. Able to play anywhere across the back four, his adaptability will be invaluable, and, with over 50 caps already under his belt, Willy looks to be a nailed on starter for the French.
Gianluca Zambrotta (Italy) - The Barcelona full-back has long been a stalwart of Italy’s notoriously tight defence. Zambrotta will be rivalled by the likes of Panucci and Grosso for a place at full-back, but he holds the distinct advantage of being neither ancient nor useless. As with Buffon, a great pick if, like me, you expect Italy to grind out the results and make their way into the knockout stages.
Johnny Heitinga (Netherlands) - Rated as one of Europe’s top defensive prospects, Heitinga will soon be a household name. In the domestic game with Ajax, Heitinga averages a goal every five Eredivisie appearances, so he could easily get on the scoresheet this summer. If his middle name wasn’t Alan, the lad would have it all.
Christian Chivu (Romania) - Along with Adrian Mutu, Chivu is one of two big names in the Romania side. The Inter Milan centre-half skippers his national team, and will do his best to stop the goals flying in as his side meet Italy, France and the Netherlands in the Group of Death.
Carles Puyol (Spain) - Three words - world class hair. Carles has been the rock on which Barcelona have built their brand of free-flowing football over the last decade, and he’s been a regular for the national side too.
Sergio Ramos (Spain) - Probably the defender most likely to grab a goal at this year’s tournament, Sergio Ramos is one of the leading lights of Spanish football. Rumours abound that both Chelsea and AC Milan are preparing bids that could make Ramos the most expensive defender in history. Again, superb hair. Take note JT and Ashley - it’s cultivating flowing locks that gets you to the finals of the European Championships, not nights out with Jody Morris.
Olof Mellberg (Sweden) - The big Swede has been a rock for Villa down the years, and this solid form has earned Olof a glamorous move to Italy with Juventus. Let’s hope for the sake of the Old Lady that Mellberg turns out to be a Ciro Ferrara or a Lilian Thuram, rather than a Jean-Alain Boumsong or a Momo Sissoko. If he can avoid the temptation to scuffle with Freddie, Mellberg could be a decent pick this summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) - Probably the best player in the world, Ronaldo will be looking to transfer his incredible form for Manchester United onto the international stage for Portugal this summer. Understandably, he’s the highest rated midfielder in the game - can you afford to leave him out?
Nani (Portugal) - Manchester United’s latest Portuguese recruit has only shown glimpses of brilliance this season, and he faces stiff opposition for a starting berth for his country at Euro 2008. The likes of Simao, Quaresma and some bloke called Ronaldo will be vying for his position.
Deco (Portugal) - Barcelona’s pint-sized midfielder is often dangerously underestimated. Valued at just 4.1m, he could easily chip in with a number of assists and might nick a goal or two. If Portugal progress to the latter stages, expect Deco to be pulling the strings for Ronaldo and co.
Emre (Turkey) - Often thought of as Turkey’s star turn, Emre has struggled with injuries this season. In fact, he hasn’t played any competitive football since February. If he lines up for his country this summer, Newcastle’s combative 27-year-old will bolster their midfield with his customary drive and determination. Not one for fantasy football purposes though.
Niko Kranjcar (Croatia)- Croatia are expected to have quite an impact on this year’s tournament, having knocked the stuffing out of England during qualification. Kranjcar is a pivotal figure for Slaven Bilic’s team, who will fancy their chances in Group B. He will be allowed to roam from midfield and can show his class on this major stage.
Michael Ballack (Germany) - Germany are the bookies’ favourites to win Euro 2008 and it is easy to see why. Their youngsters have progressed steadily over the years, during which time Ballack has excelled in the heart of the side. He is a proven world-class midfielder who might well lead the ever-efficient Germans to glory. Expect a big performance.
Bastian Schweinsteiger (Germany) - Still only 23, Bayern Munich’s tricky little midfielder seems to have been around for ages. His international record is rather impressive with 49 caps and 13 goals. He has a knack of finding a killer pass or cross, and scores his fair share of spectacular strikes. He will be the main attacking threat in a formidable German midfield.
Franck Ribery (France) - Ribery’s performance at the last World Cup was particularly eye-catching, and helped earn him a big money move to Bayern Munch in 2007. He has had a fantastic season in the Bundesliga, and the combination of his lightning-quick pace, silky skills and eye for goal will tempt many of you to select him.
Florent Malouda (France) - Despite genuinely disappointing for Chelsea this season, France will look to Malouda to provide some extra creativity on the flanks. Picking him would be a real gamble though, and don’t be surprised if Malouda challenges Nicolas Anelka for the title of ‘Le Sulk’.
Patrick Vieira (France) - Remember him? Since leaving Arsenal, Vieira has enjoyed considerable success with Inter Milan. He’s dependable and will hold France’s midfield together with Makelele, but in terms of your fantasy teams he’s best ignored. In the group of death, the chances are he’ll pick up more yellow cards than anything else.
Andrea Pirlo (Italy) - Set-piece specialist Pirlo has bags of class and a wonderful range of passing. Mind you, it’s rare to see him breaking sweat and charging back to help out the defence. He’ll be one of the first names on Italy’s teamsheet, but with their traditional defensive approach likely, other midfielders might be better alternatives.
Gennaro Gattuso (Italy) - Italy’s answer to the British Bulldog, Gattuso is more reminiscent of a street fighter than a footballer. However, that hasn’t stopped him winning two Champions Leagues and World Cup during his distinguished career. In a rather flimsy-looking side, Gattuso gives Italy real bite.
Arjen Robben (Netherlands) - Former Chelsea winger Robben has established himself in Real Madrid’s first team since the turn of the year. In a Dutch side with an overwhelming number of attacking options, Robben could face a fight for his place. Seemingly able to run quicker with the ball than without it, he can cause problems for Group C opponents Italy, France and poor old Romania.
Clarence Seedorf (Netherlands) - The cornerstone of AC Milan’s midfield, Seedorf must have one of the biggest medal collections in world football. In a glorious career, he has pocketed an unprecedented four Champions League winners’ medals, three with different clubs. The international game hasn’t been quite so kind, and in the group of death it looks unlikely that he’ll be adding a Euro 2008 medal to his collection.
Wesley Sneijder (Netherlands) - Another Real Madrid starlet who learnt his trade at Ajax, Sneijder is one of many Dutch midfielders vying for the starting eleven. He broke into Holland’s side during Euro 2004 when they reached the semi-finals. Providing great energy and quality across the middle of the park, Sneijder could be crucial to Holland’s hopes this summer.
Rafael van der Vaart (Netherlands) - Having played bit-part roles in Euro 2004 and the World Cup in 2006, van der Vaart will be looking to make a bigger impact in Austria and Switzerland this June. He has attracted the attention of several major clubs and a big performance could seal a money-spinning move. Now 25, he has made fifty appearances for the national side, scoring twelve goals.
Cesc Fabregas (Spain) - The darling of Arsene Wenger’s team, Fabregas has blossomed in this season’s Premier League for Arsenal. Amazingly he’s still only 21 years old and with the world at his feet, could inspire Spain to the final stages of Euro 2008. Bound to provide assists aplenty, he could be an essential addition to your teams.
Xabi Alonso (Spain) - There won’t be many better passers of the ball this summer than Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso. Spain’s midfield has a wonderful balance of skill and precision, with Alonso playing an integral role. He can also pack a punch when tackling, and looks set for a solid-if-not-spectacular points tally.
Xavi (Spain) - A pivotal figure in Barcelona’s midfield, Xavi is a wonderfully neat and effective player for both club and country. Deployed in the middle of the park, he and Fabregas will pull the strings and orchestrate the Spanish attack. He also offers good protection for the defence and sometimes pops up with a goal. Could be a value selection.
Fredrik Ljungberg (Sweden) - Sweden’s squad has hardly changed over the years and Ljungberg has been a stalwart for the Scandinavians. Often capable of popping up with a goal, he has rarely shown it in recent seasons. You’re living on past memories if selecting Freddie, not to mention a tricky looking group and the probability of picking up an injury or three.
Milan Baros (Czech Republic) - Oh, Milan. Top-scorer last time out with five goals during the 2004 tournament, his career has stalled ever since, to the extent that Baros now finds himself sitting on the bench for Portsmouth. The Czech looks a long-shot to repeat his 2004 heroics, and although the fixture against the lamentable Swiss looks a potential points-fest, bargain-hunters should probably look elsewhere.
Tuncay Sanli (Turkey) - The Middlesbrough frontman undoubtedly has an eye for goal, and netted three times in eleven appearances during qualifying. The versatile Tuncay can play on either flank or as a central striker, and could surprise a few people this summer. Turkey are quietly assembling a decent side, and he is definitely one to watch out for.
Miroslav Klose (Germany) - Like Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ian Rush, Klose is not a flashy player but consistently scores goals at the very highest level. The bookmakers’ favourite to end up as the tournament’s top scorer, he was born in Poland and will look to prove a point in Germany’s group-stage clash with the Poles.
Nicolas Anelka (France) - The most expensive player in footballing history, Anelka was finally regaining his reputation as one of Europe’s most lethal forwards before a move from Bolton to Chelsea saw him spending a good deal of time sitting on the bench next to Shaun Wright-Phillips. Still, his form for France has been good, and if the French hit some form then Anelka could easily end up challenging for the mantle of top goalscorer this summer.
Thierry Henry (France) - Henry’s dream move to Barcelona is looking dangerously close to turning into a nightmare, as he is consistently played out of position wide on the left. Still a genuine threat for France though, and, on his day, Henry can still be the best in the world.
Alessandro Del Piero (Italy) - An incredible talent for Juventus over the last decade, Alessandro is approaching 100 caps for Italy but has still to convince at a major tournament. Though he has rediscovered his best form with Juve this season, Italy possess a wealth of forward talent, and the ageing Del Piero may struggle to make an impact this summer. Also a good friend of Noel Gallagher, trivia fans.
Luca Toni (Italy) - Toni has had a sensational first season in Germany with Bayern Munich, steering his new club to the Bundesliga title. Big Luca is a classic centre-forward, and probably the only Italian striker who can be sure of a starting berth. He’s expensive, but comes with a great pedigree and will be a cracking buy this summer.
Dirk Kuyt (Netherlands) - Dirk may be no better at football than most of us, but what he lacks in skill he makes up in work-rate and endeavour. Widely derided by those who don’t understand football, but rightly admired by those who do.
Ruud van Nistelrooy (Netherlands) - After a season blighted by injury, Ruud will look to bounce back with a bang at this summer’s tournament. A falling out with coach Van Basten had led to Ruud’s international retirement, but the two have since made up and the Dutchman will be terrorising international defences once again. The king of the tap-ins is an option well worth considering.
Klaas Jan Huntelaar (Netherlands) - The young pretender to Van Nistelrooy’s crown, Huntelaar has been in devastating form for Ajax this season. Long linked with a move to Old Trafford, it would be a big surprise to see him back in the Eredivisie next season. But with Klaas, Ruud, Dirk, Ryan, Jan, Robin, Arjen and co all fighting for two or three shirts, it may pay to look elsewhere for your bargains this summer.
Raul (Spain) - Raul is Spain’s all-time leading goalscorer, and holds the same honour in the UEFA Champions League. A class act, he’s comfortable either up front or playing just off a target man. But with young guns Torres and Villa to contend with, Spain’s talismanic forward may find playing time hard to come by.
David Villa (Spain) - One of Spain’s hottest properties, David Villa has been linked with a money-spinning move to a host of leading European clubs. And Tottenham. Villa has been a regular in the Spanish side for the last couple of years, notching 7 goals during qualifying for this summer’s tournament. Scorer of 3 goals at the 2006 World Cup, he will be looking for an even better return this time out.
Fernando Torres (Spain)- Having scored over 30 goals in his debut season at Liverpool (a feat achieved without taking penalties), Torres has settled into the Premiership far more quickly than accomplished rivals such as Didier Drogba, Emmanuel Adebayor and even Thierry Henry. El Niño will arrive at the tournament in red-hot form, and should definitely be on your shortlist.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden) - Perhaps the most over-rated player in world football, Ibrahimovic has made a career of flattering to deceive. The Swedes have one of the easier groups, facing Spain, Russia and Greece, but, with an ageing squad, they won’t score many goals.
