jenni_blog | THIS IS MY TEAM

Here is a special meme. For this meme you have to select 23 players for a team that is YOURS. You must select 3 goalkeepers, 2 right backs, 2 left backs, 4 central defenders, and a selection of 12 midfielders/forwards combinations. I chose 6 for the midfield and 6 forwards, but in truth one of my midfielders is actually a winger/forward and I made some other 'changes' too. You are allowed to play around a little bit. You might want to select only one left back, for instance, and add an extra central defender. It's up to you.

Anyway, here is my team. It was difficult because I left out many more players that I love. For instance, I didn't include ANY from Il Calcio or the Bundesliga, because there are far too many. ALL players are from some of my favourite teams from the various other leagues:

GOALKEEPERS: Oswaldo Sanchez (Santos, Mexico), Juan Ojeda (River Plate, Argentina) and Juan Pablo Carrizo (River Plate, Argentina).

RIGHT BACKS: Vedran Corluka (Tottenham Hotspur) and Rogelio Chavez (Cruz Azul, Mexico).

CENTRAL DEFENDERS: Leonel Galeano (Independiente, Argentina), Sebastian Coates (Nacional de Montevideo, Uruguay), Michael Dawson (Tottenham Hotspur) and Horacio Cervantes (Cruz Azul, Mexico).

LEFT BACKS: Martin Caceres (Sevilla FC, Spain) and Benoit Assou-Ekotto (Tottenham Hotspur, England).

MIDFIELDERS: Geovanny Hernandez (Atletico Junior, Colombia), Damian Alvarez (Tigres, Mexico), Lucas Mareque (Independiente, Argentina), Luka Modric (Tottenham Hotspur, England), Pedro Leon (Real Madrid, Spain) and Fabian Vargas (Almeria, Spain).

FORWARDS: Erik Lamela (River Plate, Argentina), Hugo Rodallega (Wigan Athletic, England), Fernando Llorente (Athletic Club Bilbao, Spain), Radamel Falcao (FC Porto, Portugal), James Rodriguez (FC Porto, Portugal) and Juan Martinez (Velez Sarsfield, Argentina).
