Central midfield---Xavi (ESP)
中場(chǎng)---哈維（西班牙）
There is no finer passer of the ball in the modern game than Xavi and the Barcelona man's wit and vision refused to be dimmed as Spain ground their way past Portugal, Paraguay, Germany and then the Netherlands to claim the first World Cup in their history.
在如今的世界足壇上，恐怕沒(méi)有比哈維更優(yōu)秀的中場(chǎng)球員了。西班牙隊(duì)一路過(guò)關(guān)斬將，戰(zhàn)勝了葡萄牙、巴拉圭、德國(guó)，并在決賽中戰(zhàn)勝荷蘭，奪得歷史上首個(gè)世界杯冠軍，在這其中哈維的智慧和高瞻遠(yuǎn)矚功不可沒(méi)。
Right wing---Thomas Mueller (GER)
右邊鋒：托馬斯·穆勒（德國(guó)）
Barely a year ago Mueller was still considered a reserve player at Bayern Munich but the 20-year-old became the figurehead of Germany's exciting young generation with his high-octane performances and cool-headed finishing. Scored five goals, including a brace against England, to win the Golden Boot and was also named Young Player of the Tournament.
穆勒一年前還坐在拜仁幕尼黑隊(duì)的替補(bǔ)席上，但這位年僅20歲的新秀以其充滿活力的表現(xiàn)和冷靜的應(yīng)對(duì)成為德國(guó)令人振奮的足壇新生代的領(lǐng)軍人物。穆勒在本屆世界杯共攻入五粒進(jìn)球，包括對(duì)陣英格蘭時(shí)的一粒進(jìn)球，因此斬獲“金靴獎(jiǎng)”和“最佳新秀獎(jiǎng)”。
Attacking midfield---Wesley Sneijder (NED)
前腰：威斯利·斯內(nèi)德（荷蘭）
Failed to stamp his authority on the final but was instrumental in the Netherlands' progress, scoring the winning goal in the 2-1 quarter-final defeat of Brazil with a rare header and also netting in the 3-2 semi-final win over Uruguay.
荷蘭隊(duì)沒(méi)能捧起大力神杯，但這并不會(huì)給斯內(nèi)德在本屆世界杯上的出色表現(xiàn)減分。在2比1擊敗巴西隊(duì)的四分之一決賽中，斯內(nèi)德用罕見(jiàn)的頭球鎖定勝局。在3比2戰(zhàn)勝烏拉圭隊(duì)的半決賽中，他也攻破了對(duì)方大門(mén)。
Left wing---Andres Iniesta (ESP)
左邊鋒：安德雷斯·伊涅斯塔（西班牙）
His nerveless winning goal in the final summed up his value to Spain and demonstrated why he is widely regarded as the foremost attacking midfielder in the game. Blessed with deft feet, wonderful close control and an eye for a match-changing pass, he also showed his personal class by revealing a T-shirt in tribute to late Espanyol captain Daniel Jarque after scoring against the Dutch.
伊涅斯塔在決賽中那粒無(wú)畏的進(jìn)球，不僅證明了他對(duì)西班牙隊(duì)的價(jià)值，也展示給世人自己緣何被稱(chēng)為比賽中最重要的前腰。除了優(yōu)秀的腳法、精妙的控球以及對(duì)比賽關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻的把握，在對(duì)陣荷蘭隊(duì)的決賽中他還在進(jìn)球后脫去球衣，露出紀(jì)念已故西班牙隊(duì)長(zhǎng)達(dá)尼·哈爾克的T恤衫。
Centre-forward---Diego Forlan (URU)
中鋒---迭戈·弗蘭（烏拉圭）
The symbol of Uruguay's unexpected run to the last four, Forlan embodied the fighting spirit and quality that took Oscar Tabarez's men to the semi-finals. Left South Africa with five goals, four of which were superb strikes from distance, including a cracking volley in the third-place play-off against Germany. Picked up the Golden Ball for the tournament's best player.
烏拉圭隊(duì)在本屆南非世界杯出人意料地闖入四強(qiáng)，而弗蘭則正體現(xiàn)了奧斯卡·塔瓦雷斯率領(lǐng)的這支隊(duì)伍身上的頑強(qiáng)拼搏的精神和品質(zhì)。弗蘭在本屆世界杯共奉獻(xiàn)五粒進(jìn)球，其中四粒都是世界波，包括在與德國(guó)爭(zhēng)奪第三名的比賽中的一腳凌空抽射。他獲選本屆世界杯金球獎(jiǎng)。
