Gerrard about Cristiano and chooses Messi to make his ideal eleven

Choose an eleven historical always is controversial, since in so many years of football there has been 'cracks' in all the periods and in all the competitions. If besides, as it occurred him to Steven Gerrard in his challenge, there are rules, the difficulty is still greater. To the ex midfield player of the Liverpool him retó his ex mate Jaimie Carragher so that it did an alignment with the best footballers in front of which has played or has seen in first person some time.

But the ex central English did not want to put it so easy and put several rules that the current trainer of the Glasgow Rangers has had to fulfil. The first was precisely that only it put players to which confronted, another that only could put a footballer by country, and the last that could not repeat names of the same club. In other words for example it could not put to Leo Messi and to Xavi Hernández​, since both belong to the FC Barcelona.

But those hit have not been sufficient so that the one of Whiston do an eleven competitive and spectacular in all the senses. Nevertheless, for surprise of all, forgot of the that has been after Leo Messi the best of the world the last 12 years. Gerrrad Did not want to put to Cristiano Ronaldo in his ideal team and preferred to put to another madridista in his place. Specifically, the ex 'network' planted to Toni Kroos in the centre of the field.

It is necessary to signal that Gerrard chose an usual system like a 4-2-3-1. In the goal, the English did not doubt in choosing to the archer of the Athletic of Madrid, Jan Oblak. The esloveno is for a lot of the best of the world in his place and carries years showing be to another level. In defence, the ex of the Liverpool put to somebody of his club, the Scottish Andy Robertson, in the left-handed side; to the mythical Cafú in the right; to Vincent Kompany in the centre of the saga; and to Kalidou Koulibaly to his side.

The defence is something surprising, since only Cafú and perhaps Oblak will happen to the history of the football like a 'top 10' in his place. The centre of the field and the line of mediapuntas is quite less surprising and all the footballers that there is have marked the difference sometime. The two mediocentros are Kroos and Roy Keane, the ex of the Manchester United, forming a rocky midfield and of quality. In the mediapunta put to the big Alessandro Of Piero; in the right to Leo Messi and in the left to Kylian Mbappé.

Drogba Like spearhead

Finally, the forward that chose Gerrard was Didier Drogba, that definitely has been one of the best in the recent history of the football. In front of the impossibility to choose to Ronaldo Nazario, Samuel Eto'or or Thierry Henry, that played in the FC Barcelona, the same that Messi, the English did not doubt in choosing to the coast-marfileño. In summary, the eleven ideal of the technician of the Rangers would be east: Oblak; Cafú, Koulibaly, Kompany, Robertson; Keane, Kroos; Messi, Of Piero, Mbappé and Drogba.
