Diego Armando Maradona, who died on November 25, 2020, was chosen this Monday by 'France Football' as one of the four best midfielders of all time.
The former captain of the Argentine National Team, world champion in Mexico 1986, appears in the line of flyers that the prestigious French magazine arranged along with the German Lothar Matthaus, the Brazilian Pelé and the Spanish Xavi Hernández in their best all-time eleven.
Maradona, Historic Ballon d'Or for France Football.
Xavi and Matthaus would be the attacking midfielders in this legendary team, with Pelé and Maradona as the fearsome organizing duo.
The only thing missing is who the strikers of this super team are, which has the Soviet Lev Yashin as goalkeeper and the Brazilian Cafu, the German Franz Beckenbauer and the Italian Paolo Maldini as defenders.
For the three remaining places in this ideal 3-4-3, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Johan Cruyff sting.
But you have to wait until 18 in France (14 in Argentina) to find out who will join the all-time team of France Football.
Who are they fighting against?
Best forward from the right: George Best, Etoo, Beckham, Figo, Jairzinho, Garrincha, Keegan, Matthews, Messi and Robben.
Best center forward: Bergkamp, Cruyff, Dalglish, Eusebio, Kocsis, Müller, Romario, Ronaldo, Van Basten and Weah.
Best striker from left: Cristiano Ronaldo, Blokhin, Dzajic, Giggs, Henry, Rivaldo, Rivelino, Ronaldinho, Rummenigge and Stoichkov.
