Team of the Season 2007 Continued

Defender

There were many great performances in this position with a number of players having a fantastic year.

Alessandro Nesta, Juan, Rio Ferdinand, Lucio, Julien Escudé, Philip Mexes, Ivan Cordoba, Daniel Jarque belong to a group of players who are very excellent back into the center conducted last year.

Emanuel Vidic and Jamie Carragher would be very unhappy not count on my team have, but I've gone for Gabriel Milito and Ricardo Carvalho, because theyBoth had a mammoth year.

Midfield

As always, it was difficult to choose between a range of excellent work in midfield, because there are just too many great players to choose from.

Daniele De Rossi, Andrea Pirlo, Florent Malouda, Paul Scholes, Robinho, Xavi, Franck Ribery, Ricardo Quaresma, Lucho Gonzalez, Miguel Veloso, Juninho, Christian Poulsen, Genaro Gatusso, Steven Gerrard, Hatem Ben Arfa, Samir Nasri and many others not to mention all had wonderful seasons.

CescFabregas, Saydoo Keita and Esteban Cambiasso were desperately unlucky to get in the team, but I went for Christiano Ronaldo, Michael Essien and Andres Iniesta.

Strikers

Frederic Kanoute had a fantastic year as well as Ruud Van Nistlerooy, Diego Milito, Kevin Kuranyi, Alexander Frei, Theofanis Gekas, Mario Gomez, Afonso Alves, Johan Elmander, Danny Koevermans, Jefferson Farfan, Klass-Jan Huntelaar, Kun Aguerro, Rodrigo Palacio, Robbie Keane and Fernando Torres.

ZlatanIbrahimovic, Francesco Totti and Dimitar Berbatov would be a good reason for swearing, not always in my team, but I've gone for Kaka, Lionel Messi and Didier Drogba.
