The Ultimate Battle of Youth Vs Experience
By: Rob | October 10th, 2009
A little while back, Chris mused up this post, in which he built a dream team of current players who are all under 25. And a mighty impressive team it was. If you can’t be bothered to click that link, or this one, here is the team selected.
Igor Akinfeev
Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Giorgio Chiellini, Philipp Lahm
Lionel Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Andres Iniesta, Cristiano Ronaldo
Fernando Torres, Alexandre Pato
Now, he foolishly left out Wayne Rooney – putting in Pato presumably to raise the number of Serie A players in the side. We’re onto you buddy.
Either way, its an impressive team, no? Ronaldo and Messi are undoubtedly the worlds best, while Torres and Iniesta would battle it out just below, and Cesc, Pique, Ramos, Lahm all class.
But my first thought, of course, was Would a team of Over 25’s beat them?
And so, here is my team of over 25’s that I would put against Chris’s youthfull wannabees
Casillas
Dani Alves, Rio Ferdinand, Pepe, Ashley Cole
Arshavin, Xavi (c), Lampard/Gerrard*, Ribery
Ibrahimovic, David Villa
*I’m not bothering to chose between them. If I pick Lampard all the Liverpool fans will be at my throat, and vice-versa. As an Englishman, I’m bored of the argument anyway.
So, what do you think? I think my back line is better, And though the U25s have the two best players, I have number 3 (Xavi) and I think a team that could more than hold their own against them.
Which side do you think would win? Youth, or Experience?
