La Liga old rankings (Marca & Mundo Deportivo)

Some comments give me an idea, so, I'll made a list of candidates to an Euro Team of the Month in each season, considering:

- Best Ratings by role > 2,25
- Fame at that time.
- As example, a rating of 2,50 is considered equal to 2,25 (that is 9/10 points in 4 matches)
- The list only consider the league matches. I guess the EC, CWC and ICC matches, will change the lists.

Note: At that time, La Liga was among the top-3 european leagues. Serie-A was the other clear top league.

Cayetano Re was formed as a player when teams used to play with a quintet line of forwards, in this context, the paraguayan mostly used to play in the central trio as a multifacetic forward.

In the WC 1958, he lined up as an Inside Left, in a quintet formed by: Juan Bautista Aguero, Silvio José Parodi, Jorge Lino Romero, Cayetano Re and Florencio Amarilla.

I placed him in his spanish years as follows (in a WM ordering):
59/60 - Inside Left (to be posted soon!)
60/61 - Inside Right ?
61/62 - Centreforward (18 games), Inside Right (5)
62/63 - Centreforward (7), Inside Right (5), Inside Left (4) Right Winger (2)
63/64 - Centreforward ?
64/65 - Centreforward ?
65/66 - bench
66 to 71 - Centreforward ?

Remember that in the 60s, the usual tactic was lining up with 4 forwards (being him, one of the twin spearhead) and in the late 60s with 3 forwards.

Resuming, he played near to box area, not as an out an out striker (just 1.63 m. !), but exploiting his flashy moves and good shooting skills, not the type of forward waiting for the final pass, neither the type of player that dictate the flow of the attacking play, more a hybrid, a player involved in the last third of the pitch, in Roy words, a kind of Goalscoring Inside Forward. So, I think he could be placed as a Second Striker in modern times.
