The FIFAPro XI for 2012 was announced on the 7th
of January 2013. There have been questions about the inclusion of certain
players in the team and why the team is made up of only players in the Spanish
La Liga.
We present an alternate FIFAPro XI for 2012. The list
includes players who had a great 2012 and can compete with those on the FIFAPro
XI
Petr Cech (Chelsea)
The Czech international has been the first choice goal
keeper at Chelsea since he joined the club in 2004. His heroics in the
Champions League final were pivotal to Chelsea winning the title they have
coveted for a long time. He saved Robben’s extra time penalty and 3
penalties in the shoot out.
Phillip Lahm (Bayern Munich)
The Bayern captain is a key element of the Bayern machine. The Team
captain bombs up and down the right flank providing key assists and defending well. He
also scores goals and helped his national team get to the semi finals of Euro
2012.
Vincent Kompany (Man City)
He was instrumental to his team winning a first league title
in 44years. The Belgian led well from the back and was a rock in defence for the
Citizens, scoring the only goal in the Manchester derby at the Etihad.
Matt Hummels (Broussia Dortmund)
He played an important role as Dortmund won the Bundesliga
for the 2nd year in a role. His awareness and ability to distribute
the ball from defence was also vital as his club won the German cup. He also
broke into the German national team.
Ashley Cole (Chelsea)
He attacks as well as he defends. An important member of
Chelsea’s champions league winning team. He took his penalty in the final well.He
forays forward and provides assists for his team mates and defends well. His goal
line clearances have won many games for his team.
Yaya Toure (Man City)
He has truck loads of energy,a complete box to box
midfielder. He breaks up opposition play, provides assists and scores goals. He
is a manager’s delight and Yaya is one of the reasons Man City are English
champions.
Andrea Pirlo (Juventus)
The saying old wine tastes better is the best way to
describe the playmaker. He is an
incisive silky midfielder with incredible vision. He is one of the most
accurate passes in the game. He swapped Milan for Turin in 2011 and made an incredible
impact in the team as Juventus finished the season unbeaten. He was also an
important part of the Italy team that got to the finals of Euro 2012.
Mesut Ozil (Real Madrid)
The 24year old brings finesse and improvisation to the
midfield of both club and country. He had the highest number of assists on La
Liga last season (17). His vision and
skill helped Real Madrid win their first League title in three years.
Robin Van Persie (Man United)
The flying Dutch man netted 30 goals for Arsenal last season
thereby attracting attention from the elite clubs of Europe. He chose the red half of Manchester and he has
been in inspired form since his signing, scoring 20 goals so far.
Mario Gomez (Bayern Munich)
The German international was in lethal form for Bayern in
2012. He scored 26 goals in the Bundesliga alone and although last season ended
in disappointment for the Bavarians Gomez is still regarded as one of the top
strikers in the world.
Zaltan Ibrahimovic (PSG)
Known for his strength, aerial ability, ball control and
lethal finishing. The Swede moved from AC Milan to PSG in the summer of 2012
and scored 18goals and provided 4 assists in 16 games. His audacious overhead
kick goal in a friendly against England in November is a clear statement of his
incredible talent.
