Selecting a "World Eleven" is not a straight-forward task particularly when we have to choose the top eleven starts from a span of great 14 years passed till now.
Goal Keeper- Iker Casillas-
Although the Spanish living legend has not been in limelight in the recent times for Real Madrid, his team and individual achievements can not be ignored. His achievements between 2009 and 2013 for the club and the Spanish side give him a place in the World Eleven.
He has won five LaLiga titles, two Champions League winner's medal with Real Madrid. He also captained Spain in the World Cup 2010 and other Internation-European Cups.
Right Back- Javier Zanetti
Inter Milan and Argentina legend Zanetti gets his place in the position of Right-back in the World Eleven because he has been the most consistent player in the past few years. The 40-year-old is still strong and is capable of doing wonders on the pitch now also.
Centre Back- John Terry
Chelsea's loyal captain - Terry has been great from the starting of his career and has impressed critics with his defending on the field for his side.
The former England captain has been exceptionally good for his national team as a talismanic leader.
He best defender in the Premier League deserved a place in the World Eleven.
Centre Back- Carles Puyol
Barcelona defender Carles Puyol will be ending his career as one of the most decorated player in the history of football. He has worked very hard to be called the " Best Defender In The World ". He has shown exceptional leadership qualities as the captain of the Spanish and the Catalan club- Barcelona.
LaLiga Titles, European Cups, European Championships and the World Cup- Puyol is covered with success.
Left Back- Ashley Cole
Paolo Maldini would have been the first preference for this position of Left-Back but considering the fact that his majority success had come in the 20th century, in the late 1990's. So, Ashley Cole is the most deserving player for this position.
There hasn't been a more consistent left-back than the England star in the past 14 years. Making over 100 appearances for England in this period, he has won multiple titles with Chelsea and Arsenal like the Premier League and the Champions League also.
Right Wing- Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portugal-2013 Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player for this position. He used to
" Destroy " english clubs during his six year spell at Manchester United. He has also experienced the left-flank position with Real Madrid and has been devastating for the opposing clubs.
The two-time Ballon D'Or winner has been great during his career with a goal status of 235 goals in 231 matches.
Central Midfield- Xavi
One of the most finest players in the 21st Century, Xavi, the Spanish wizard has been a " Trophy Conductor" for both Barcelona and Spain.
He is the best passer of the ball and one of the best play makers in the history.
The final conclusion is that without Xavi, Spain and Barcelona would not have achieved what they have done over a past decade.
Central Midfield- Andres Iniesta
The pale-faced midfielder of Barcelona and Spain, Andres Iniesta has bagged this position in the World Eleven as he literally deserves it. He has scored breath-taking goals and has provided his sides with invaluable assists.
The 29-year-old would be remembered as of the best midfielder of this generation.
Central Midfield- Zinedine Zidane
Not positioning this graceful player in the line up of World Eleven would have been a "Crime".
Despite the fact that he played the most of his career before 21st Century, one can not simply ignore his career during 2000 and 2006.
He lit up the Santiago Bernabeu while playing for Real Madrid for five years. During the same period he scored the best goal in the Champions League history in 2002 against Bayer Leverkusen in the final. He led France to the World Cup Finals in 2006 after the Euro glory.
He was truly a " One Man Army".
Left Wing- Ronaldinho
For several big reason the former Barcelona star has been stated as the " Unstoppable Star "
While playing, now one could even touch him at some point of his career. He is considered as one of football's all-time greats alongside the likes of Diego Maradona and Pele.
However, he has not been the player which he was but has changed in past years. He was also moved to AC Milan by Pep Guardiola because of some serious reasons.
Striker- Lionel Messi
" The Best of The World " is the only sentence heard when people are talking of Messi.
The Argentine is just 26 years of age and has scored a remarkable 339 goals in 408 appearances since he started playing for the Catalans in 2004.
Born with the most incredible natural ability and body structure, Messi is a football freak and is capable of beating any defender in the world, which he does.
