After reviewing the Premier League season and picking my team of the year, it got me thinking about the global game and who I would pick in a World 11. After long deliberation I think I can now reveal that team and who I would pick to manage the side.
Formation - 4-3-3
Manager - Jose Mourinho - Just love his attitude and confidence in himself.
GK - Iker Casillas - Reliable and a good leader with a safe pair of hands and the ability to pull off big saves
RB - Maicon - Defensively sound and a real attacking threat all season for Inter
CB - Gerard Pique - Solid defender and an unsung hero in the best team in the world at the moment
CB - Nemanja Vidic - Been a rock at the heart of the United defence all season.
LB - Patrice Evra - Consistently the best player at left back all year, great defender with real pace.
CM - Xavi - One of the most influential players in World football. Best passer in football and makes Barca tick.
CM - Wesley Sneijder - Quality playmaker who created and scored goals all year long.
CM - Iniesta - One half of the World's best midfield partnership, very attack minded and very creative.
RF- Christiano Ronaldo - What a season. Justified his price and tag and couldn't be left out.
CF - Lionel Messi - Best player in the World right now and first name on the team sheet for me
LF - Alexis Sanchez - Big season for the little winger, created and scored a number of goals and this has resulted in big interest from big clubs.
For me all these players shone in their respective positions and fully deserve to be ahead of the rest. Consistently they have been the best all round players for their clubs and countries over the course of the 2010/11 season. Honourable mentions should go to the likes of Carlos Puyol, Sergio Ramos, Samir Nasri and David Villa as they all were considered when picking this team. I bet no one would want to be playing against this 11!
