The Cage 2.0: the new The Onetouchables Modric, Haaland and David Luiz

In the first edition Patrick Vieira, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Paul Scholes presented themselves as the possible outsider: the English midfielder and the Dutch striker had just met at Manchester United, while Vieira was part of the Arsenal antagonists. The lack of cohesion and the meeting characteristics of the two midfielders evidently influenced the final result, given that The Onetouchables came out in the first round. Without infamy and without praise, surely the team that has had the least impact of the whole tournament.

The 3 new representatives do not have very different technical characteristics, with the young Norwegian Haaland who can play the part of an inexperienced Van Nisterlooy and the experts Luiz and Modric to replace the tenacity and tough face of the two ''old'' midfielders. The hope is that they can pass at least the first round.

THE ONETOUCHABLES 2.0

Luka Modric

Complete central defender who stands out for his personality, spirit of sacrifice and physical skills, which combined with his flexibility, have made him one of the most promising prospects in his role. We speak in the past because on the threshold of 33 years Luiz is already in the waning phase of his career. His top player career started early, when at 23 he was already one of the best defenders in the world. Chelsea, PSG, and then London, first Blues side and then Gunners side. Lately fluctuating performances and the demonstration of no longer being the wall of a few years ago, but his thick hair will never detach him from the ideal we have of him.
