Austria met its golden
age in the first half 1930s under the legendary Austrian wonder team led by Matthias
Sindelar who was existed as the best player in the World in related years. During
war-time, Josef Bican produced a phenomenon record of scoring and became the
best player in Europe at that period, is also the most prolific scorer in
history of the game. Ernst Ocwirk and Gerhard Hanappi formed the great multi-functional
midfield and was the best international midfield in the world during the first
half 1950s. The last group of world-class players need to turn back to the late
1970s to early 1980s when Herbert Prohaska and Han Krankl indispensably led Austria.
Ernst Happel is the greatest Austrian personality of all-time. His name is

Formation XI (4-3-1-2)
Explanation of Squad
The team strategy is
defensive deep-lying midfield with quick passing to forward-line. Hiden is a
first choice keeper. Pezzey is a leader of defense as a role of
sweeper. Happel is more center-back although his usual position is sweeper. Karl Sesta and Josef Blum are full-back. Hanappi and Nausch are applied to play as a semi-side-midfielder. Ocwirk is a leader of midfield area, getting himself in
deeper area to destroy the game and also support attacking game as a box-to-box
midfielder. Sindelar
move withdrawn to link between midfield and forward area. Bican would run with his
extreme fast speed on the left-forward to score goal while Binder is to fight
opponent by his physical strength advantage and is expected as a decisive finisher.

hello friend what his squad mounted with the leanest players in history as Sindelar eg
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm not quite understand your sentence, could you repeat again ?
DeleteYes I repeat, in xtratime you assembled a team with only fat, you also set up a team with only meager as Sindelar?
ReplyDeleteI see. Two thinnest strikers would be from the amateur era likes Alcantara and Freidenreich. Right-Winger would be Mcmanaman easily. AM is Socrates. DM is Jose Leandro Andrade. Side-Back is probably Marzolini on the left and Carlos Sosa on the right. Goalkeeper is probably Van Der Sar ? I still not find left-winger (There should be slimmer player than Di Maria at least) and two center-backs which is always required strong body so it must be difficult commonly.
DeleteYes good team as usual, quarterbacks are really hard to do that by being naturally are more muscular
ReplyDeleteWhere is Studnicka?
ReplyDeleteAs I read the article, he is surely one of the great Austrian football personalities as a co-founder of Danubian style of play, was one of the most outstanding figures in the history of Austrian football. He was the first most-capped player and at the same time even scorer in his country and was awarded posthumously twice the ceremony of World striker.
DeleteThanks. I'm OK to create his profile.
He will be also added in the era world positional ranking.
DeleteI didn't specified lvl of difference bacause CR wold win in every pair so why is the difference important? Also tell me any player in football history that would win every comparasion in top 9 , not 3 or 4 , but top NINE seasons and still loose the comparasion with another player , apart from apearently CR7. Why am I biased? * I post this here since you won't alow me in the top 50 players blog
ReplyDeleteHi! What your idea about Alaba? In my opinion he could be in reservers.
ReplyDeleteI think we could consider Alaba. I've create Austra AS in pes with alaba. What do you think about him?
ReplyDeleteHe is too young for now. If no accident, he should be named in the first XI in the future.
Deleteyou can download this temes best making games...https://goo.gl/acCN8V
ReplyDeleteHello Naratorn I studied Austrian football and realized that you should add in your squad Franz Hasil who was better than Herzog and Decker. It reached a great international class losing only to Sindelar, Bican, Ocwirk and Prohaska. Decker leaves, Hasil enters , Decker was a home player in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI watched Hasil in 1970 European Cup final and he is impressive enough. I did not include him because he won only 21 caps but he might be qualified if his club career is great enough. I'll check more info.
DeleteSindelar King Bronze
ReplyDeleteDavid Alaba?
ReplyDeleteHe has been rated by kicker in 3.5 international-class seasons below standard of five but he could replace Robert Sara. Let me think over.
DeleteHeinz Hermann can not the most capped austrian, because he is swiss. Please update with Andreas Herzog.
ReplyDeleteOH, OK I will revise.
DeleteWould Alaba be added? despite him underperforming in the last 2 seasons he could still make the reserve squad, right?
ReplyDeleteHe has been added in reserved list. I think he may replace Josef Blum who was one of the best left-backs in the world in 1920s but this squad formation is 3-4-3 so it is tactical reason.
DeleteBlum and Sesta have same birthday. Karl Sesta belongs to World Cup 1934. And He has 44 Caps.
ReplyDeleteYou can update Sindelars goals and games now, since RSSSF and other sources found out his tallies. Hes scored about 600 goals in 703 matches for Austria Wien.
ReplyDeletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthias_Sindelar
I can't see any reference in rsssf to attest Sindelar + 600 goals.
DeleteO Johann Horvath da imagem na verdade é Ferdinand Weseley.
