There has always been an interesting and controversial topic in football: the best squad of all time. Whether fans or professionals, everyone has their own opinions and choices. Not long ago, Italian legend Del Piero attended a game launch event in Japan, during which he was interviewed by the host and revealed what he considered to be the best 11-man lineup of all time.
First, let's focus on the goalkeeper position. Del Piero believes that Lev Yashin deserves it. Yasin is not only a legend in Italian football, his name has even been used to name the highest level of individual award in the field of goalkeepers, the Yasin Award. This fact is a testament to his excellence, and he is also the best goalkeeper of all time in the minds of many celebrities and stars.
Del Piero's centre-back options include Cilea and Baresi. While Sirea may not be well known, he is also a legendary Italian defender who won the 1982 World Cup and Euro 1977. Interestingly, Baresi was Sirea's backup until he was 28 years old. The choice may come as a surprise, but it reflects Del Piero's deep understanding of football's history.
In midfield, Del Piero has produced three legendary players, namely Cruyff, Maradona and Messi. Cruyff is the godfather of football, and he can go through half a team alone in his prime. Messi and Maradona are the best squad players that almost all celebrities will choose, and their talent and dominance are unquestionable.
However, one thing that caused controversy was that Del Piero did not choose Cristiano Ronaldo. After all, Ronaldo played for Juventus and is the second man after Messi. The decision sparked many angry Ronaldo fans on social media, who saw it as a sign of disrespect for Ronaldo.
In short, the all-time best squad is an eternal topic, and everyone has their own opinions and criteria. Del Piero's choice may be somewhat unexpected, but it reflects his unique personal insight into the history of football and the quality of his players. So, do you think Del Piero's choice is reasonable? Welcome to share your views and discussion in the comments section.
