The 11 ideal of footballers who were left out of the Ballon d'Or Dream Team

France Football chose the best team in history and left many players who could have been on the list. The tactical system that the magazine used was a 3-4-3 and in that way it could put more midfielders and forwards than defenders. After France Football revealed the formation, I created a great controversy.

140 specialists from around the world subjectively chose who were the best 11 players in history. For this reason, the award causes a lot of controversy because it is not based on specific data but on a completely subjective view of each person who votes.

To begin with, they decided that the tactical system they were going to use for voting was 3-4-3 and not the traditional 4-4-2. The Russian Lev Yashin was chosen as goalkeeper, from defenders Cafu, Fran Beckenbauer and Paolo Maldini. In the midfield were Lothar Mattaus, Diego Maradona, Pele and Xavi and the forward was shared by Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Ronaldo Nazario.

Some names were missing from that list and the public reacted on social networks. If there were no doubts in choosing the forwards and midfielders since Messi, Maradona, Pele, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo Nazario should be yes or yes on that list. France Football decided that way but at elfutbolero.us we bring the list of those not elected.
