GK: Dida Dida played for my team in Brazil and one of the best times I had on the stadium was in a semifinal against one of our rivals and he saved two penalties shot by Raí, one of their biggest idols. And he was world class at AC Milan too.
LB: Roberto Carlos Best left back I’ve seen, his shots were insane.
CB: Carlos Gamarra His 98 season was unbelievable. Not only dominated in the brazilian league but didn’t commit a single foul on the World Cup playing for Paraguay.
CB: Fabio Cannavaro First on the list not to have played for my team lol but he was amazing.
RB: Philip Lahm Great playmaker, so intelligent.
CM: Pirlo So classy, loved to watch him play.
CM: Xavi / Iniesta Can’t choose between them.
CAM: Juan Roman Riquelme Legend. I was always afraid to play against Boca or Argentina because of him. Once i flew to argentina to watch a Boca match at La Bombonera and was so disappointed he was injured at the time. Game was awesome anyway, Boca beat Colo-Colo 4-3.
CAM: Lionel Messi The best I’ve ever seen.
ST: Ronaldo Fenômeno Best striker ever. So complete, he could do everything. If he wasn’t injured as much i’m sure there would be people arguing that he was the best to ever play the game but unfortunately we will never know what could have been. But what we saw, man was that special. And luckily I had the chance to see him ending his career playing for my team.
ST: Carlos Tevez When I was 14 I had kind of lost interest in football until one day my dad woke me up and said “get ready and get in the car. we’re going to São Paulo (i lived in a city about 100km from São Paulo) to watch the first match of this new signing Corinthians brought from Argentina, he seems to be quite good”. thank god he did that. Carlitos brought my football passion back in 2005 and I will always love him for that. And for the Brazilian League title as well.
As a Corinthians supporter I can say he is one of the players I hate the most.
Came here in 2013 after we won the Libertadores and World Club Championship with a huge salary and was always lazy and not committed at all. Ended up his spell at Corinthians trying to panenka a decisive penalty kick against Dida, who at the time played for Grêmio and was a Corinthians idle before going to Europe and who was famous for saving penalty kicks. Players have said that he almost got beat up at the locker room after the match.
Tite, who coached him at Corinthians, said he didn’t seem to understand the instructions given to him. Stupid af.
God I hate this guy.
