5. Rui Costa (Portgual SF2);

Spotted this by accident but I can't believe @Barry Cartman has kept this typo in for such a long time.

[GunmaN1905]

Alright, I checked the list and everyone either has Italian players or has filled the 3 semi-finalist quota, so I can't spoil anything.

I've been sitting on this for days and I'm absolutely distraught and beyond disgusted.

You bloody people haven't picked Gisueppe Bergomi.
One of the best defenders ever, but you picked bloody Barzagli and Bonucci with semi-finalist slots, they can't get in the same sentence as him.

 

[Haguey]

Yeah I'm shocked Bergomi didn't get picked either. Almost used him as my Italian slot, but prioritised a striker instead.

[Darius1998]

I was choosing between Bergomi and Scirea but ended up prioritising a CB so went with Scirea at the time. Incredible that he didn't get picked though.

Doesn’t start with a bloody K does he ffs 

I couldn’t find any Italians with a surname beginning with K anywhere

That's an amazing coincidence tbh, the only Italian's I saw on wiki with K's as the start of either surname or first name are Moise Kean and Kevin Lasagna, neither of which were eligible

His Christian name ... there’s 2 like that, because options were at best limited . I wanted a different goalkeeper but that would have taken another defender out because of the nationality rules and I was scraping the barrel for defenders as it was, so I had to use a little artistic licence ffs, it was hard enough as it was

That's the one I was thinking of then. He was a right back mainly though wasn't he? I picked Zambrotta purely because I'm more familiar with him.

Central defender who could also play on the left.

I'd say Ramos and his transition would be a good comparison.

At first he was the right defender in 3 man defenses, as back fours were rare in those days. And there were no fullbacks as we know them today.

Later on he was the "counterweight" to Brehme, like Zanetti or Chivu were for Maicon.

When he got older, he switched to CB.

For example Zanetti was the right-midfielder when he joined, when back fours became a thing, he moved to right back.

Was that the case?

All those old games I've seen he was always on the right.

You're right, don't know why I said left. Was discussing about how Inter needed a player on the left with my work mate, and then it got stuck in my head.

That's been the case since Roberto Carlos was sold.

 

Btw, I'm indisposed for the rest of the day, so don't send me messages or questions, I probably won't reply until tomorrow.
Hopefully you can keep it going without massive shambles before tomorrow morning.
Then we can decide on the knockout format and start with that on Monday.

Never a Bergomi fan myself as im sure on one Champ he was a SW/DRC and that just never sat well with me.

SW/DC yeah im on board with that, ill even settle with a straight DRC... but not a SW/DRC thats just wrong.

[adhikapp]

Well Dzajic is taken so I'm going a different route. Hold on a sec. Didn't expect to come back to me again so soon.

There were full-backs in the more modern sense around in the olden days, or at least players who performed a similar role (there is an Italian LB I could name but won't for player naming reasons whose role would be pretty similar to modern audiences). 

But catenaccio, and the variants there of, was a slightly odd system which operated asymetrically. The LB would operate similar to a modern full-back or a LWB while the RB would tuck inside to become a third CB most of the time, with sides playing the system often having a RW to provide width on the right while often not playing anyone in front of the LB on the left, instead using the role either to add in an extra striker or an additional midfielder. So, under traditional catenaccio, full-backs were a thing... but only one flank (usually on the left whenever I've seen a side playing catenaccio or a variant of it).

Haha, fair enough. I didn't want to annoy Gunman and have one of my players replaced with a Sergio Garcia clone or something so I have to find somewhere to put two of them.

I'll take Goran Djorovic (ex-Celta CB/LB from the 90s- not sure if he would count as Serbian or Kosovan for this given that he was born in Pristina) and Brian McClair (Scotland).
