The Perfect XI

There's always a debate about who the greatest players in each position are and what that team would look like but given the opportunity to create a club of your own with players across different eras who would make your first XI based on a particular period of their career and reflects a style of football which would make you cream every weekend. Mine below:

----------------------------------Casillas (Madrid)
--Maicon (Inter)----Nesta (Milan)-----Vidic (United)-----Cole (Chelsea)
----------------------------------Vieira (Arsenal)
------------------------Totti (Roma)------Kaka (Milan)
--Bale (Spurs)--------------------------------------------Ronaldinho (Barca)
--------------------------------Torres (Liverpool)

For one reason or another - whether ability, personality, style of play or nostalgia that would be my perfect team.

What's yours?

Neuer
Cafu, Desailly, Nesta, Maldini
Xavi, Redondo, Iniesta
Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho

Coach - Guardiola


Neuer - Not quite as formidable and imposing as Schmeichel, but not too far off it and exceptional with his feet which would be crucial for how my team would play.

Cafu - Can own that entire right flank to provide the width. Boundless energy and quality to go with it.

Desailly - The Rock. Strength of a bull but he could play as well.

Nesta - Made defending look so easy and effortless.

Maldini - Played a lot of his career at CB but more than capable of doing both. He’d get the captain’s armband.

Xavi - The metronome.

Redondo - Intelligence in defence, class with the ball and could also provide a bit of magic if he ventured forward; just ask Henning Berg.

Iniesta - Can’t have Xavi without Iniesta and vice versa

Messi - The GOAT.

Ronaldo - That’s the original one for all the kids out there. I didn’t think it was possible for any striker to be that complete at such a young age. Did the ‘flip flap’ skill well before the final person on this team did...

Ronaldinho - His peak was short-lived, but what a peak it was. Tricks, flicks, mazy dribbles and some goals that just left me stunned. The epitome of being worth the entry money alone.

Redondo-he was class. That outrageous nutmeg on David may when they blew us away was amazing..
