In a social media video posted by Al Ittihad’s official account, Fabinho named his Dream Team. Unlike Karim Benzema, the Brazilian midfielder included both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in his lineup. Of course, there is also a significant presence of fellow countrymen who made history with the Selecao. Curiously, the former Liverpool star opted for an ultra-aggressive formation with just three defenders.

Fabinho chooses an ultra-offensive team
The Brazilian started off by choosing German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who continues to shine for Bayern. In front of him, a three-man defense: Cafu and Roberto Carlos on the flanks, with the Italian Paolo Maldini between them. This is interesting considering that the aforementioned Brazilian legends played as full-backs, but Fabinho presented a very offensive scheme.
In the middle of the park, the Al Ittihad star made Andrea Pirlo one of his pillars. Alongside the Italian, he went for Zinedine Zidane and Lionel Messi to set up a magical midfield. Further up the field, Fabinho selected an attacking line dominated by his home country: Pelé, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo Nazário, and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Fabinho’s ideal XI: Neuer; Cafu, Maldini, Roberto Carlos; Messi, Zidane, Pirlo; Ronaldinho, Pelé, Ronaldo Nazário, Cristiano Ronaldo.
This star-studded lineup would have an unprecedented attacking power, although it might lack some defensive stability. Nevertheless, anyone would love to see so many legends within the same team.
