The former forward has high praise for the former Liverpool star and Manchester United’s current captain, as well as Chelsea’s John Terry.
Speaking to FourFourTwo, AC Milan and Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko has named former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard in his best ever XI.
The striker had a glittering career in which he scored over 300 goals in over 600 league games. He was also a star on the international stage, scoring 48 goals in 111 appearances for Ukraine.
During that time he won the Champions League with AC Milan as well as the Serie A title, the FA Cup with Chelsea and numerous other trophies. He was also the Ballon d’Or winner in 2004.
It is fair to say he played with and against a number of star players across his career and Gerrard is one of the ones who are lucky to get into his team for FourFourTwo.
In goal he goes with Gianluigi Buffon, describing the Italian as “an exceptional ‘keeper with incredible reactions.”
His backline is comprised of Cafu, Alessandro Nesta, Paolo Maldini and John Terry, describing the Chelsea stalwart as a “natural leader.”
AC Milan legend Kaka makes it in on the right wing, while Lionel Messi is the man who fills the left wing spot.
Current Real Madrid manager and club legend Zinedine Zidane stars in the centre of the park alongside Gerrard, with Shevchenko describing the former Liverpool man as “a world-class midfielder.”
Up front, Wayne Rooney partners Ronaldo, with the former forward describing the England captain as “the sort of magnificent team player every coach wants.”
