‘All-time best XI’ in Football

Holland’s Johan Cruyff, architect of total football, has announced the names of the footballers of his ‘All-time best X1’. Cruyff did not interestingly consider Argentina’s Messi and himself for his dream team.
The players are: Lev Yasin ( former Soviet Union), Carlos Alberto (Brazil), Bekenbawer (Germany), Rud Croll (Holland), A.D.Stephen (Argentina), Garincha (Brazil), Pep Guardiola Sala (Spain), Boby Charlton (England), Pit Kaiser (Germany), Pele (Brazil) and Maradona (Argentina).
Tens of thousands of football fans around the world may be disappointed having missed Messi in the dream team of Cruyff. The reality is different, which every one should realise.
Currently, Germany is the World Champions while Brazil holds the Olympic Champions in soccer.
