Which is the best couple of attackers in the World?
I have chosen three couples of attackers from three different countries.
I did not chose any team from England, which is one of the best championship in the World, because some of the teams are playing with only one classic attacker, which is the case for Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester, or there is only one class forward.
The first couple of attackers is from Bayern Munchen, where Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose are doing a great partnership. They are helped from behind by one of the best attacking midfielder in the world Franck Ribery. Despite having another world class forward in the team, Lucas Podolski, he is rarely used in the first team.
The second one is from Barcelona, where Henry and Eto’o partnership finally works after an hesitant start. Henry is allowed to play in a more free role after Ronaldinho’s departure and that’s notable. Like Bayern’s attack they are helped from behind by Lionel Messi.
Barcelona is having a perfect season under Guardiola, who transformed the team into a goal machine.
The last couple of attackers and in my view the best one is from Fiorentina, where Adrian Mutu and Alberto Gilardino are the main pieces from Prandelli’s team.
Mutu and Gilardino have scored together 18 of the 24 goals for Fiorentina in Serie A this season. Their goals were decisive for Fiorentina and the situation would been totaly different without their goals. This is the main reason why I chose them for the best attack in the World.
Fiorentina was in real problem when one of them hasn’t played.
If I were to chose the best National attack I would definitely chose Spain with Torres and Villa.
