Germany - Centre-backBuchwald, Guido
Guido Buchwald’s career can be reduced to one famous image, him shadowing Maradona in the 1990 World Cup final, but that would be unfairly small. He was a strong, complete and tactically obedient defender, capable of playing as centre back, sweeper or defensive full back depending on what the match demanded. His game had German seriousness at its core: concentration, aerial strength, clean duels and the discipline to sacrifice personal glamour for collective security. At Stuttgart he became a symbol of reliability, while his spell in Japan later showed the intelligence and professionalism of a player who adapted rather than faded. Buchwald was not a stylish playmaker from the back, but he understood defending as control, not panic. A big match marker with brain, body and a wonderfully inconvenient sense of duty.
