    In QF Mitropa-1940 Rapid Bucarest beat Hungaria (MTK).
    MTK along with Ferencvaros and Ujpest was strongest club central and east europe on seasons 1938-39-1940. On World Cup-1938 7 players were from MTK. GK - A.Szabo, DF - S.Biro, MF - J.Dudas, J.Turay, FW - L.Cseh, F.Sas, P.Titkos. Also in MTK played G.Sebes (in future trainer).
    17.06.1940 MTK-Rapid 1-2. Both rapidian goals Sipos.
    23.06.1940 Rapid-MTK 3-0. Sipos scored goal and became the hero of match.
    For Rapid and Romanian football this plays were historic. Rapid reached final, but due WWII matches was canceled.
    Also Sipos was main star of romanian championchips 1940-41. Better than Avar, Baratky, I.Bogdan.

    1. I know that he is the best Yugoslav manager ever in club career but most of them are performed in a smaller league. Anyway, it is acceptable to name him at 5th place.

    You wrote to me that the Yugoslav league was fifth in Europe at that time. Ivic was the champion of Yugoslavia 3 times, 4 times winner of the Cup. He was a champion and Portugal, the Netherlands, Greece, Belgium and France. He won the European Super Cup and Intercontinental Cup. Milutinovic ?????? Miljanić- two years Champion of Spain with Real Madrid, and the championship with Red Star !!!

    1. In 1981 and 1982, Balaci did not receive any vote despite his peak and won Romanian footballer of the year. That is strange.

      In 1981 strongest NTs of Eastern Europe were Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Poland. In 1982 Poland, Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia. Romania showed a very low level of football (See: France Football's European National Team of the Year 1981 and 1982). In 1980/81 strongest clubs of EE were Dinamo Kiev, Dinamo Tbilisi, Dynamo Berlin, Carl Zeiss, Banik Ostrava, CSCA Sofia, Spartak Moscow, Crvena Zvezda, Dynamo Dresden and Ferencvaros. Best romanian club 1980/81 Balaci's Universitatea was below Top 100. In 1981/82 Universitatea was only 14th among eastern european clubs. In 1980/81 and 1981/82 level of romanian league was below than Soviet, Czechoslovak, Yugoslavian, Hungarian and E.German. I think Balaci was good for Romania, not for Europe.

  16. Hi Narathorn. Could you please explain why do you consider Borislav Mikhailov ahead of Silviu Lung?

    1. Honesty I've not gotten into deep details of both. Lung was ranked in Romanian player of the year five times but no evidence to evaluate Mikahilov season by season.

  17. Don't you think Miralem Pjanic could already have a spot in positional ranking at the end of the season? He's been impressive but inconsistent at Roma, but now at Juventus he's really stepped up as a holding midfielder in front of the defensive line. Last season he performed consistently both domestic and in the Champions League, and this season he's simply been the best midfielder in the league, so precise and always orchestrating the game.

    1. Now he has achieved at least 2.5 international-class. I think he should appear in the list at the end of season if nothing mistake.

    2. Last year he dropped his form in the last part of the season but he still was nominated in Serie A team of the year.
      This season, unfortunately, he is not playing well.

  19. I believe 2019 Balkan player of the year should be Jan Oblak instead of Luka Modric. Oblak achieved a way better rating in Dbs calcio than Modric, only slightly inferior in whoscored, which doesn't usually give really high ratings to goalkeeper.

    In addiction to that, Oblak was the best goalkeeper in La Liga and came fourth in the Yashin Award, whereas Modric was nowhere near his best form last year.

  20. You could add Aleksandr Kolarov to the full backs list
