The Best Team of "Captain Tsubasa"
Previously, I ranked the best teams from Asia, America, and Europe in "Captain Tsubasa." This time, I will compile an overall best team, still using original characters.
Goalkeeper: Genzo Wakabayashi (Japan)
He is a highly talented goalkeeper known as "SGGK" (Super Great Goalkeeper), which means he is a "super goalkeeper." He was the first to join the European football scene among Japan's golden generation. His goalkeeping skills are excellent, and very few can score from outside the penalty area against him. He is undoubtedly the strongest goalkeeper, even attracting attention and recruitment from the German Football Association.
Defenders (Three Center Backs):
-
Pierre (France): As the captain of France, he possesses high leadership abilities and a strong sense of the big picture. Although he is a forward player, his defensive capabilities are also world-class. In the World Youth Championship, he successively blocked Shingo Aoi, Takeshi Misaki, and Tsubasa Ozora, almost single-handedly shutting down Japan's offense and dragging the game into a penalty shootout.
-
Gentile (Italy): Italy's chief defender, who can lock down Japan's stronger players like Hikaru Kozuki when healthy and can become a starting defender for Juventus.
Midfielders:
-
Defensive Midfielder - Miguel (Spain): His power is immeasurable, carrying Spain forward on his own. Upon his debut, he completely sealed off Brazil's king, Nadrezha, leading a relegation-threatened team to victory over the top-placed Real Madrid. He often displays superhuman football skills and can exert supernatural abilities, using spiritual communication.
-
Central Midfielder - Rivel (Sweden): He shone at the World Youth Championship, leading Sweden to defeat the championship favorites Germany upon his debut. With his powerful shots, he rendered Germany's goalkeeper Muller ineffective. Later, he joined Bayern Munich, becoming the midfield engine and forming one of Europe's strongest attacks with Schneider and Shao Junchang.
-
Central Midfielder - Garforth (Netherlands): The captain and ace of the Netherlands, known as the "All-Rounder Commander" and "Commander." His strength is on par with Rivel, but while Rivel leans towards organization, Garforth leans towards breakthroughs.
-
Attacking Midfielder - Tsubasa Ozora (Japan): He gets stronger against stronger opponents and has rarely tasted defeat. There's no need to explain why he's called the "King."
Forwards:
-
Center Forward - Schneider (Germany): The ace striker of Germany, known as the "Football Emperor," who made his professional debut at 15. He is technically comprehensive, with excellent strength, technique, and speed. Beneath his calm exterior lies passionate fighting spirit, and he frequently scores with powerful shots, making him one of the strongest forwards in "Captain Tsubasa."
-
Left Forward - Nadrezha (Brazil): Known as the "Ultimate Ace of Brazilian Football," Nadrezha came off the bench wearing the number 10 jersey for Brazil in the last two minutes of the World Youth Championship and displayed astonishing abilities, scoring directly from outside the penalty area against Genzo Wakabayashi. He has strong attacking and long-range shooting abilities, with top-level football skills and athleticism. If not for Tsubasa Ozora and others' "cheat-code-like" performances, the final result would have been unpredictable.
-
Right Forward - Santana (Brazil): Known as the "Son of God," before Nadrezha appeared, he was the number one in Brazil. His offensive capabilities are extremely strong, making him one of the best forwards in "Captain Tsubasa."
Substitutes:
- Goalkeepers: Dott Muller (Germany), Hernandes (Italy), Salinas (Brazil)
- Defenders: Alberto (Brazil), Gullit (Brazil), Gruber (Argentina), Teiglboran (Germany)
- Midfielders: Diaz (Argentina), Takeshi Misaki (Japan), Karlz (Germany), Xiesta (Germany)
- Forwards: Shingo Aoi (Japan), Ryoma Kageno (Uruguay), Napoleon (France)
The biggest controversy in this lineup is placing Xiao Junchang and Pierre in the defensive positions. In "Captain Tsubasa," there are many excellent defenders, but personally, I still think these two are stronger when playing as defenders. This is my personal opinion; if you disagree, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section.
