An ode to my dream team

Why i choose those who i did

I prefer the 4-3-3 formation . The 4-4-2 formation is pretty useful but when you have the best in the world at your disposal you got to use them in most effective manner that you could.The 4-3-3 affords me to do just that.The 4-5-1 is as boring as it is stiffling , it would indeed constitute a great wastage if such a combination were deployed . The 4-3-3 provides me ample oppurtunity to unleash im my view one of the most potent attacks ever consitituting the best in terms of both offensive and defensive forces i have witnesses in my time.

My defence - the rock on which my team is built holds a remarkable blend of both youth and expereince.In Jaap Stam and John Terry who give me 100% commitment when they step out on to the feild - i can ask no more.Further Terry is good in the air and his penchant for getting those crucial goals is a blessing.Stam gives me a physical presence , a tall imposing gaint his presence is immense. Ferreira and Maldini - once again a good blend of old and young.They give me solid defending .I dont really require them to be to inventive on the ball- I got more than enough of that in the rest of the team.What i do require is to keeping the flanks tight and these gentleman are more than adequate at keeping them flanks calm.

My midfeild- oh boy - my midfeild - well that gentleman is the stuff that dreams are made of.To have Zidane - the great Zidane in the centre doing what he does best . He's my playmaker- there can be no other for none are better.Lampard and Gerrard complete my trio in the park.They give me aggression , sublime passing and both are very good at getting back to help the defence out if needed and also adept on the break.Not to forget the intensity and work ethis they bring to the team .I will never forget the 2005 champions league - what gerrard did . That moment - that remarkable comeback will forever be etched in memory of football lovers as perhaps one of the greatest footballing moments of all time.And lastly my favourite -Lampard.Mourinho described him as a great player who plays performs exceptionally every week-week in week out- as opposed to those who turn up once in a while.He epitomises the quality i want this team perhaps more than anyboby else- a determination to win.

I love playing out wide and then bringing it in.I think Joe Cole and Robben are the perfect ploy.Those tricks,those neat side-stepping -they give me more,so much more oppurtunities down the flank.And when it comes down to putting the finishng touches-there is no one more sublime,more graceful than Theiry Henry.He posses so much pace and such wondeful deft passing.He is such a threat.He is just very exciting-in my view perhaps the most exciting striker ever.
I avoided the question of who is to be captian . There are like 5 captains here.But i prefer my captain to be in midfeild or my defence - preferable the latter.Though Maldini is truly a legend i prefer it to be one of my centrehalfs and in that there are not too many contenders - JT is the man.
Petr Cech - tall and athletic is the man i trust to be my goalie.Iker Casillas is a fine player but Cech edges him out on the having the pleasure for playing for my favoutite team - Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho for the same reason and more is my gaffer-why - because the guys brings incredible self-belief,great work ethic to my team.He is my Manager-no apologies.Never.
