Absolutely legend… there is no sweeper position without franz…

There is none of this quarterback spraying the ball around defensive midfielder without franz….

As a ex plodding defensive midfielder myself.. you watch him play and you appreciate the all round game he had!!!

Rest in peace…

Player, coach, on the pitch, and off the pitch, defined German football for a generation. He had such presence.

RIP to a great player and manager. if I am correct, the only man to win a world cup as both player and manager = World class

"RIP to a great player and manager. if I am correct, the only man to win a world cup as both player and manager = World class"

Mario Zagallo who died a couple of days ago also won it as player and manager.

Both were footballing geniuses.

Sad news. His name came to mind first when thinking about football in Germany (espe ially in Bavaria).

And not only for one generation.

Liverpool

One of those players whose talent had the gravitational pull to fundamentally alter how the game was played. The sweeper position was invented to maximise his talents and continued to be played for a good couple of decades after he retired. It is the mark of a truly great player that to reshape the tactics of your sport.
