Squad Explanation
I have more modern players in this team than most of my other all-time teams. Helmuth Duckadam did more for Romanian football in one match than most other keepers in thei lifetime. I rewarded him with a spot.
Starting lineup
Formation: 4-2-3-1
I made use of the three great playmakers from Romania. They might get into each other way, but any Romania's all-time must field all three of them.
