Midfield
Central Midfield – Lothar Matthaus
Lothar Matthaus is still considered the best midfielder Germany has ever had. Matthaus managed to win the Euro 1980 tournament when he was just a youngster. Matthaus is no doubt one of the best in his position in the history of the game. In the 1986 World Cup, he captained his side to the finals as Germany eventually lost to Argentina but did win it in 1990.
Central Midfield –Stefan Effenberg
Stefan Effenberg had it all when it came to playing in midfield. His passing, skill and strength were everything you wished for in a midfielder. If it was not for his infamous ‘finger’ gesture in 1992 he would have played a lot more international tournaments. But his quality is enough to make it into this team.
Central Midfield – Michael Ballack
Michael Ballack was a player with pure ability and added a lot of power to the German midfield. He was very unlucky to not win the Euros in 2008 but there haven't been many who had the energy and drive he had.
Attacking midfield – Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
Rummenigge is a name every football fan in Germany will have memorized. Normally a forward Rummenigge could also play as an attacking midfielder like he did in 1980 UEFA Euro final. He made 95 appearances for his country scoring 45 times
