  • I tried to find a spot for Mirolad Arsejanovi.
  • Dejan Stankovic was relatively unknown in Europe, but he accomplished something few footballers were able to achieve.

Starting lineup 
Formation I: 4-3-3
 

Formtion II: 4-2-3-1
This is a more defensive approach.I added Stankovic who is better defensively.
