Italy "Victorious XI" (1938)

Italy continued their success at the World stage as they defended their World Cup successfully. Under Vittorio Pozzo again they put forward the classic 2-3-5 Pyramid formation (not the 5-3-2 as wrongly indicated), with Meazza, Ferrari and the group reigning supreme. Although this team shape shifted to W-M every now and then, to complement different oppositions.

Coach/Manager :- Vittorio Pozzo
