Midfielder: Thomas Müller – Being one of the oldest and most experienced players, the German will carry the responsibility of generating the game towards the front.
Pivot: Ryan Gravenberch – Although he can also play more advanced, as it is his favorite position, the Dutchman would be behind, something he is not unaware of.
