This is the ideal Euro Cup quarterfinal eleven: Spain rules

Only four teams are left in the running once the quarterfinals of German Euro Cup. The semifinals will be played Spain against France and England together Netherlands. They were left in this round Germany, Portugal, Switzerland and Turkey. From these eight combined comes the perfect eleven of World of sports in this round. The layout will be 4-2-3-1:

Pickford, goalkeeper

England

Decisive in his save in the penalty shootout that gave his team a pass, he showed personality by giving orders to his defense and resisting the minutes pressed by Switzerland. He couldn’t do anything with the goal.

2

Carvajal, defense

Spain

The physical display of the Spanish right-back against the defender was impressive, where he had to deal especially with the experienced Musiala, as in the attack. It should be applauded that he sacrificed himself by committing the necessary foul that earned him a second yellow card.

3

De Vrij, defense

Netherlands

In addition to scoring an important header that saved the ‘Oranje’ team when they lost 0-1 against Turkey, the center back was right at the back, as the leader of his team in that area.

4

Pepe, defense

Portugal

The Portuguese did not qualify due to penalties, but this does not detract from the great performance that Pepe played at the age of 41, playing 120 minutes at full capacity and repeatedly denying the French team games.

5

Saliba, defense

France

In the absence of a left-back to stand up, a left-footed center back to stand up in this eleven will suffice. It was one of the few things that shone through in a France that wasn’t performing at its level even in the semis. Saliba provided great security and covered Theo Hernández’s climbs well.

6

Rodri, midfielder

Spain

Another display of knowledge from the Manchester City midfielder. No one was surprised by their performances. He set the pace of the game, recovered a lot of balls and showed his strength in an area where he was comfortable.

7

Merino, midfielder

Spain

The author of the historic and decisive Santillana-style goal that defeated host Germany in the 119th minute of extra time cannot be missing from this eleven. He’s not a starter. He came on for Nico in the 80th minute, but his contribution was given.

8

Then, midfielder

England

He scored on an individual play with a close shot to make it 1-1 in the 80th minute and also his penalty in the shootout. It was not easy for him. It will be remembered that he failed in the 2020 final against Italy. The pressure is enormous.

9

Güler, midfielder

Turkey

Although ruled out, the Real Madrid midfielder was one of the sensations of the Euro Cup. This is no exception against the Netherlands. He showed hierarchy, personality and knew how to be. His right-footed cross to Akaydin’s goal was beautiful and accurate.

10

Dani Olmo, midfielder

Spain

The Leipzig player’s game was surprising. That’s on his assignment. He came on because of Pedri’s early injury and scored from the back as a midfielder. He then moved to the left wing, where he gave a narrative of control, pause and overflow. From there he placed the measured center for Merino’s goal.

Eleven

Gakpo, forward

Netherlands

He carries a risk in every action he engages in. He could have emerged as the leader in the scoring table but in the end UEFA gave Müldür a 2-1 score with his own goal. It was Gakpo who, with his arrival at the far post, caused the play to end like this. His merit in the end.
