RW: Arjen Robben (Netherlands, Bayern Munich)
He races down the right flank, he cuts in, he shoots. This has been the modus operandi of Arjen Robben for over a decade now.. and defenders the world over still don't have a clue as to how to stop the man. Goes to show just how good he is, doesn’t it?
CF: Lionel Messi (Argentina, Barcelona) (False Nine)
Yeah, surprise, surprise! Messi makes the list. (*sense the sarcasm, please*)
LW: Antoine Griezmann (France, Atletico de Madrid)
The jovial Frenchman is without much doubt the next big thing in world football – as FIFA acknowledged with their nod to him in the BEST awards nominations – and his cultured left and imaginative footballing brain are qualities that may well take him to the very top – sooner rather than later.
