Van Basten
Nedved ----- Platini ---- C. Ronaldo
Xavi ------ Keane
Cabrini --- Scirea --- Nesta ---- Cafù
Buffon
I tried to set up a realistic 11.
The doubts
-
Iniesta is more quality than Nedved, but the czech legend could run up and down the field as a breakin midfielder...and given we have Platini, Xavi and C. Ronaldo, there needed more legs in the midfield
-
Platini/ZIdane is always the problem in this kind of joke:
it is impossible to leave Zidane out from whatever football team, but actually Platini was better than him, and they have the same role, despite they interpretated differently.
Crujiff should be there as well, but where to cut?
-
Messi , I don't love him as much as his achievements would suggest. Still prefer players like Van basten, Maradona, Zidane.
FOr the rest, I don't see many chances of change
