Sergio Agüero's team of 2008

Goalkeeper: Petr Čech (Chelsea FC)
He has all the qualities that a good goalkeeper should have: the physique, reflexes, confidence and personality.

Right-back: Bacary Sagna (Arsenal FC)
He has everything you need to be a Premier League right-back; he is steady in defence, especially man-on-man, and makes no mistakes in attack.

Central defender: Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United FC)
He is the rock in Manchester United's defence. He's great in the air and his personality is strong too.

Central defender: Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea FC)
The Portugal defender has a great presence and he covers his team-mates' backs well.

Left-back: Patrice Evra (Manchester United FC)
I like the attacking side of his game. He is good in the air and has lots of power. He gives my team security.

Right midfield: Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United FC)
Considered by many to be the best player in the world, it is a pleasure to watch him play. Anyone who pays to go and watch him will be rewarded by his dazzling skills. He's an exceptional player.

Central midfield: Xavi Hernández (FC Barcelona)
He is the best central midfielder I have seen in recent years. Barcelona's most colourful play starts at his feet. He always has excellent positioning.

Attacking midfield: Cesc Fàbregas (Arsenal FC)
He is of the same school of thought as Xavi and is the key man for Arsenal and it's the same for Spain. He always leads the team forward.

Left midfield: Franck Ribéry (FC Bayern München)
He is Bayern's biggest threat and was voted best player in the Bundesliga in 2007/08. His style of play reminds me a lot of Carlos Tévez.

Forward: Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus)
Inexhaustible, he never gets tired of scoring. His quality is evergreen. It is his strength that has allowed Juventus to take big steps in the UEFA Champions League.

Forward: Zlatan Ibrahimović (FC Internazionale Milano)
He has the ability to destabilise opponents. Next to Ronaldo he is the best player in the world at the moment. He is the complete striker.

Coach: Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United FC)
I revere Sir Alex. He is a true gentleman at all times. He never loses direction and, according to my team-mates that have played under him, he always has just the right words to order the team when they're on the pitch.
