When the lineups of the Euro teams were announced, many media outlets focused on the players who regretted missing out on the tournament and talked about their "Best XI". The luxury degree of this lineup, almost comparable to the official selection of the best lineup of the European Cup. Sohu sports here for you to present this list:
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen (Oblak)
The Barcelona goalkeeper, who missed the tournament due to injury, was the top of the list of fallen goalkeepers. Competing with him for the starting position is Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Oblak, who dropped out because Slovenia failed to qualify for the main tournament.
Left back: Teo (Mendy)
Teo Hernandez never found favor with Didier Deschamps and eventually fell out of the France squad as expected. France also had Real Madrid's Ferran Mendy at left back, who also failed to make the cut. Deschamps ended up going with Lucas Hernandez, who started at the World Cup, and Everton's Digne.
Center back: Van Dijk
Van Dijk, who has been out for half the season due to injury, will have an obvious impact on Liverpool. As a strong candidate for the "world's first defender", the Dutchman announced his absence from the tournament before the national team list was announced.
Center back: Ramos (Upamecano)
Enrique chose to play with only 24 men, and was not even willing to call up Ramos. The Spanish veteran's national team career may be over. The choice has also sparked widespread controversy, with no one from Real Madrid in the spotlight.
Leipzig center back Upamecano, who just joined Bayern, landed on the French roster and had no problems as a substitute despite the gap with Van Dijk and Ramos.
Right back: Wan-Bissaka (Nacho, Carvajal)
England brought four right backs into the tournament, with a little known name for the fifth. Manchester United right back Wan Bissaka is excellent defensively but has a weak passing game on the attacking end and was probably the main reason for being dropped. England's squad is loaded with talent and Liverpool's Arnold narrowly missed out on the final list.
Real Madrid's lack of selection has been mentioned above, with Nacho and Carvajal also possessing a high level of performance in this position.
Midfielder: Kamwenga
A standout of France's youngest generation, Camarvinga was originally tipped to make Deschamps' roster, but ended up only being called up by the U21 national team. Deschamps also dropped Ndombele in this position, and fortunately, Juve midfielder Rabiot was the new man.
Midfielder: Milinkovic
Lazio midfielder Milinkovic, known as the "White Pogba", was valued at 100 million euros in the transfer market before the epidemic. Despite the impact of the epidemic in several consecutive transfer windows, Lotito is still convinced that he can be sold for 80 million euros. Serbia's failure to qualify for the main round of this year's Europa League was lamented by the likes of Vlahović, Kostić and Milenković.
Midfield: Pjanic (Asensio, Isco, Ödgö, Šijursson)
Bosnia and Herzegovina did not qualify for the Europa League proper and Barcelona great Pjanic missed the chance to prove himself. Despite a dip in form since Juve's move to La Liga, the strength and status are still there. Real Madrid Prince Asensio, the old emperor star Isco also fell out of the Spanish list.
Real Madrid's on-loan Arsenal midfielder Ödgörn was dropped from the squad as Norway failed to qualify. Iceland also did not qualify for this year's Europa League proper, but they have impressed in previous tournaments, with Sigurðsson being an iconic figure in their squad.
Forwards: Martial (Royce, Lingard)
France's forward line is full of talent, but the center position is understaffed, Deschamps had no choice but to call up Benzema. Martial, however, was literally left at home to watch the game. Royce's absence is a foregone conclusion, with injuries serving as an excuse for his absence from the tournament.
England's final 26-man list, Lingard unfortunately fell out of the selection, which is out of the expectation of many media. The Chinese fans called "Lin Huang" Manchester United players, this season on loan to West Ham United's game fully demonstrated the strength of the thigh level and burst of form, compared to Southgate selected players, Lingard also has the experience of the big game, so his selection is surprising.
Striker: Ibe
Ibe, who had a strained relationship with his national team boss, announced his return to the field after returning to the national team. However, the Swedish winger lost out on national team honors once again due to injury.
Forward: Harland
