Former Golden Ball winner Kaka has sparked a major debate in the football world after presenting his ideal 11th of all time. Their greatest attention was not to receive the selected names, but the spectacular absence of Lionel Messi as well as the Brazilian’s stinging statement to reason on that decision.
Asked why outside this list remained one of the most trophicable players in history, numbering 8 Golden Balls and a World Cup, former Milan and Real Madrid star, gave an answer that was immediately distributed on social networks: Why isn’t Mess? Because I didn’t even choose Suarez, Alba, Busquets or Xavi. Mess cannot play without them, Kaka said.
His statement hinted that he wanted to build a formation without being conditioned by the core of Barcelona’s golden generation, but the Argentine fans have seen this as a provocation and humiliation to the individual ability of the Messi.
Ideal Kaka formation (4-3-3)
In his selection, Kaka has mostly preferred former teammates to Milan and Brazilian legends, adding only a few extraordinary European football names.
• Porter: Dida
• Protection: Cafu, Alessandro Nesta, Paolo Maldini, Roberto Carlo
• Midfield: Andres Inysta, Andrea Pirlo, Zinedine Zidane
• Attack: Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo Nazario, Ronaldinho
In this 11 you see a formidable attack combining Ronaldinho’s technique, the killer instinct of Feenomen. Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo’s star power.
Although he left out of Messin, Kaka included another legend of Barcelona, Andres Inista, along with Maestros Pirlo and Zinedine Zidane.
Kaka herself has been one of his generation’s best players, winning the Milan Champions League in 2007 and the World Cup with Brazil in 2002. /Telegraphy/
