7 Greatest Footballers In EVERY Position & Greatest XI Since 2000

Спорт

The 21st century has given us one of the greatest national teams of all time, in Spain, possibly the greatest club side we've ever seen, in Barcelona, and, arguably, the two greatest footballers of all time, in Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
In this video, following twelve months of work, HITC Sevens takes a look at some of the greatest players since 2000 in every position, from goalkeepers to strikers, the greatest managers, and ultimately a greatest XI & squad from throughout the period.

    Imo Lahm is the best fullback ever played the game because he just shut down everyone he played against. His most impressive stats are he never received a red card in his career and played a whole season without booking even a single foul. 🤯 There's was no player who could beat him in a isolated 1on1 situation. Just magnificent defending out of this world.

    I love and tend to agree with most everything with this Channel..but Dani Carvajal not being minimum a top 2 right back is criminal. He’s been a starter and made an impact on FIVE Champions League winning Real Madrid squads and finals. And given how Madrid are in Semi’s again this season…possibly a 6th. Needs serious respect on his name.

Can you please make a video about Cristiano Ronaldo. Not about his ability but the hate that revolves him recently. Granted yes I am a Ronaldo fan since childhood and he means a lot to me, but ever since the 2022 WC he has been slandered and hated like never before, I find pretty sad.

He was absolute quality and I grew up worshipping him (I am not a Man U fan but I but remember kissing the screen when he scored his penalty in the 07/08 CL final), however him being a dodgy character might overshadow what he did. He was also showing signs to really propel Cymru as a manager too.

    Day 4 of asking for an updated video on the FAI and Irish Men’s National Team. Since your last video, they've failed to qualify for a World Cup and the Euros, let the manager's contract run out and failed to replace him for 149 days, and had a CEO sacked for misappropriation of funds. The DoF, Marc Canham promised the manager would be in place for the first week of April (now passed) but now they have pushed back the deadline to September. They have yet to have announced the interim head coach for their friendlies vs Hungary and Portugal. On the bright side Evan Ferguson came to the fore and has since then has had a huge drop in form. The circus continues.

    He’s clearly a British Barca/Pep fan if he doesn’t have Casemiro at #1 he’s one of the main reasons for Real Madrid’s UCL three peat that has never been done be4 him & Kroos which hasn’t even been considered for a CM spot he’d be either #3 or #2 maybe even #1 his passing is only comparable with Pirlo, Scholes & Xabi Alonso with a average of 94.3% accuracy rating each game.. & Carlo Ancelotti 👑 who is the record man which has proven himself in every league, has coached the most Balon d’Or winners & won the most UCL’s in football history in which he also won twice as a player.

    No mention of Pepe Reina? 😅😅😅 Seriously? Dude won a hatrick of Premier league golden gloves beating Cech & Van Der Sar, despite both of them having better defenders and defensive midfielders protecting them. A calming presence in the box and a reliable penalty stopper, he was also the best ball playing goalkeeper in the word before Neuer arrived on the scene. Also don't forget that he was the second choice goalkeeper for that all conquering Spanish side - Valdes was clearly a distant third choice in the national side. Yes, he did start declining by 2013, but so did Valdes after that horrible injury towards the end of his Barcelona career. However, Reina did recover from his decline and had impressive stints at Napoli, Lazio, Aston Villa and is still going at Villa Real. Please put on some respect on his name.

    Here's an idea for a future video - the controversial story of Arkadag FC, a club from Turkmenistan (often labeled as the North Korea of Central Asia) that had just been founded last year in a city that has a population of 65k people and is still under construction (to be completed by 2026) with the lofty ambitions to be an 'inteligent city' (whatever that means). This club had won 37 matches in a row (alegedly), breaking Al-Hilal's record of 34 wins in a row. And here's the part that may merit a video on this channel - Guinness Book of World Records refuses to acknowledge this achievement

    Still waiting about a sportswashing video about Kazakhstan in UEFA since it is a dictatorship that oppressed dissidents. Yet UEFA tolerating Kazakhstan (contrast to EU and NATO banning Kazakhstan from joining) fuelled Russia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s similar schemes, which we are paying a heavy price today.
