Sergio Agüero has chosen both Xavi and Cesc Fabregas in his team of 2008, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alessandro Del Piero up front, but no space for himself...
Sergio Agüero has today followed his close friend and international team-mate, Lionel Messi, by selecting his team of 2008, and this time there IS a place for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi left the Portuguese winger out of his ideal eleven, but Agüero decided to include him in the team, published by uefa.com, describing him as an 'exceptional player.'
Elsewhere in midfield he has a strong Spanish presence with both Xavi, the best central midfielder he says he has seen in recent years, and Cesc Fabregas, who he says 'always leads the team forward.'
The other midfielder in the team is Bayern Munich star Franck Ribery, who Agüero says reminds him of Carlos Tevez.
In goal the Argentine selected Petr Cech, because he has 'all the qualities a good goalkeeper should have', and in defence he went for an all-Premiership selection.
Bacary Sagna is at right-back, with Rio Ferdinand, 'the rock of Manchester United's defence', and Ricardo Carvalho in the middle, and Patrice Evra at left-back, because he likes the attacking side of his game.
The biggest surprises come up front though, where Agüero has decided to pick two players from Serie A.
Firstly he chose Alessandro Del Piero, describing him as 'inexhaustible' and 'evergreen', and then he picked Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who he thinks is the best player in the world next to Ronaldo, and is the 'complete striker'.
In charge of this dream team he would have Sir Alex Ferguson, because he is a 'true gentleman at all times', and because he never 'loses direction.'
