Shame on you for not picking Weah or Leonardo or Rai.

Long time ago, hope you're fineShame on you for not picking Weah or Leonardo or Rai.
That team would have been great in other circumstances. Romario really didn´t give a feck in Valencia, a shame. I thought he was going to spend a few more years in Europe.Canizares
Angloma Rami* Ayala Carboni
Baraja Banega
Silva Aimar Mata
Romario
Subs: Villa, Nani, Albelda, Mendieta, C.Lopez

Oh dear lord I loved Depor back in the day . I'd always want to see Djalminha in the starting XI but it's hard to squeeze both him and Valeron in.Deportivo:
Songo´o
M.Pablo Naybet Donato Bonissel
Victor Mauro Silva Aldana Fran
Valerón
Bebeto
Bench: Molina, Makaay, Djalminha,Tristán, Pandiani . A bench full with top strikers. I could also include Djukic but leaving later to Valencia make me appreciate him a bit less.
Aldana and Bonissel are strange choices. Aldana came from Madrid in the beginning of Super Depor.
He had had a cruciate ligament injury and was theoretically finished, but revived in Depor.
Romero used to be the left back, or Capdevila, but many of us still remember Bonnissel, a great full back who had a great connection with the best Fran. Unfortunately he was a very controversial guy, who had problems in the dressing room and who even hit a journalist and broke the nose of a fan.
As an individual player there is no question for me Ballack was the better player. Even though he is a high rated player, i believe he is very underrated. This is probably the case because he failed to win the big ones (multiple times).One day, I have spent some time to try to guess who is the best between Ballack and Effenberg.
I guess your answer but what's the difference between these 2 players? They seem similar in terms of style of play: Ballack more offensive maybe and Effenberg more aggressive, I don't know
I think we should get more threads about German football
He was a dirty player too, all elbows and cynical fouls. I particularly remember a friendly against Russia where he charged about putting in dangerous tackles all game. Marat Izmailov was never the same player after having to go off only about 10 minutes into it because of him.As an individual player there is no question for me Ballack was the better player. Even though he is a high rated player, i believe he is very underrated. This is probably the case because he failed to win the big ones (multiple times).
If you ask who was more influential for Bayern it is Effenberg without a doubt. Ballack in general was very unlucky, being the only true world class player (alongside Kahn) in his german generation. Also he was part of the worst Bayern team, and german football in general, in decades (that's why he left for Chelsea).
But individually, in his prime, i do believe that Ballack was one of the best offensive central midfielders of all time. He just had everything. The body language, the intelligence, the abilities and the mentality.

Great selections Ecstatic.I would choose the art and playmaking.Redondo is my weakness.Although based in his performance probably I wouldn't have chosen Didi but Di Stefano playing in the middle.Real Madrid - 4/4/2 - DEVASTATING COUNTER-ATTACKING
Key considerations:
- Players at their prime
- Eto'o played 3 games for Madrid, ie less than 5 games
- Pace, pace & pace
- no #10
- Long passing skills : Xabi Alonso & Hierro... Edit: Stielike instead of sanchis below would make more sense in this regard.
- I don't know if @carvajal is better than Salgado
Real Madrid - 3-5-2 - SILENT KILLER
Real Madrid - ART & PLAYMAKING
OMG
I have ignored players like:
- Kaka
- Michel
- netzer
- Stielike
- butragueno
- RVN
- Suker
- Luis Enrique
- modric
- kroos
-...
-...
Thanks. Le'ts update then with new players but it's crazy the high number of world-class players who played for Real Madrid And when you loot at my Real Madrid teams, you would notice I have not mentioned butragueno, Figo, Guti, Hagi, Michel, Netzer, Conceiiao, Cambiasso, mijatovic, suker, amancio, ricardo carvalho, vazquez...Great selections Ecstatic.I would choose the art and playmaking.Redondo is my weakness.Although based in his performance probably I wouldn't have chosen Didi but Di Stefano playing in the middle.
Salgado was more leader and better tactically but I think slower.
He was good when going to the attack, although before the full backs did not play like they do now.
I would need to see them in the same era
That's a stunning collection of forwards for the post-modern era. From memory, Hasselbaink also had an excellent season there, and Bobo Vieri ended up as Pichichi in his lone season at the club!Up front there's a luxury to chose from; Aguero, Torres, Costa, Kiko, Forlan can all feel unlucky.
Yeah, Hasselbaink and Vieri scored for fun too. Jesus Gil basically didn't allow for stability otherwise Atletico would have won far more when he was around.That's a stunning collection of forwards for the post-modern era.

Wales AT XI, 433. If you can tell me how to embed the formation pic, that would help.I hope we will see very diverse clubs or countries.
