Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon
“Despite his age he still is able to maintain the highest level of play and that’s not something simple. I always enjoyed watching his passion for the game, the confidence he gives to his club and because of that many people can identify with him. On top of that you have to add that he is one of the greatest keepers in the history of the sport.”
Defender: Carlos Puyol
“Leader. He was Barcelona’s captain during the club’s glory days and if you loved the team, how could you not have loved Puyol. He was also a physical specimen. Due to his uncompromising play and ultimate professionalism, he is undoubtedly a role model for any player.”
Midfielder: Andrés Iniesta
“To me he is a magician. He has something in his feet that very few players have. Even though he may not be the most physical player, it’s impossible to steal the ball from him. His dribble and how he can see the game is an absolute thrill. Despite his numbers not being so amazing, to me he is a fantastic player.”
Attacking midfielder:
“Messi is Messi. In my eyes he is the all-time greatest player and the greatest I have ever been able to see. He is football genius and the things that he can do, you just can’t learn or train to do them.”
Striker: Ronaldo (Brazilian)
“He was the best striker I have ever seen play football. I loved watching him as a child and to me he was the complete striker. He had qualities of the highest levels: Finishing, technique, dribble and acceleration.”
