FIFA announced World XI of 2012 3 days ago. All the players in the team were from the La Liga (Liga BBVA) Iker Cassilas had a good season but the main contender against him for the position is Chelsea's Petr Cech. He was instrumental in Chelsea's champions league winning campaign. I would choose Cech because of his extraordinary saves in both the BPL and UCL. I think that Pique did not deserve a spot in this team because he was just ordinary. He didn't do anything special in 2012. I think either Kompany (Man City), Cheillini (Juventus) or Thiago Silva (PSG) would have been a better choice. Kompany and Cheillini deserves the spot the most because the both had a great 2012 and achieved a lot sucess with their respective teams. Marcelo should have not been there because he was injured for most of 2012. I think Ashley Cole deserved this spot more than anybody because he was a vital part in Chelsea's defense during 2012 plus he won the UCL. In midfield the only surprise player is Xabi Alonso. There were far many better players in midfield. Likes of Juan Mata, David Silva, Pirlo or even Ozil would have been a better choice. The attack you can't fault because Ronaldo, Messi and Falcao had a great year. RVP might have a shout but I think Falcao was just better.
My team of the year would be:
Petr
Cech
Dani
Alves Sergio
Ramos Vincent
Kompany Ashley
Cole
Andrea
Pirlo Xavi Hernandez Andres
Iniesta
Lionel
Messi Radamel
Falcao Cristiano
Ronaldo
That was my team of the year.

I like your post. You have nominated at least one Chelsea player for each position. Don't you think you are being partial to Chelsea.
ReplyDeleteChelsea had an amazing champions league campaign with their defense and midfield being outstanding. Si i think at least ine player should have been there.
