Jesé’s Dream Team with Brazilian presence
To guard the goal, Jesé chose Iker Casillas, the legendary Spanish goalkeeper. In defense, three former teammates from Real Madrid can be found: Dani Carvajal, Sergio Ramos, and Marcelo. The Brazilian full-back, with whom Jesé played between 2010 and 2016, is one of the pillars of this team. A technical and offensive player, Marcelo made his mark in Real Madrid’s history since his arrival in 2007.
In midfield, Jesé selected three players who also made history with the Merengue club: Casemiro, Luka Modrić, and Kaká, who illuminated the Bernabéu between 2009 and 2013 with his technique and vision of the game.
Upfront, Jesé completed his dream team with world-class stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Kylian Mbappé. It is interesting to note that the young French prodigy from PSG, with whom he played in 2016-2017, finds his place alongside legends such as CR7 or Benzema.
Through this ideal team, Jesé pays homage to the many great players he shared the field with throughout his career, with a special mention for his former Brazilian teammates from Real Madrid, true pillars like Kaká, Casemiro, and Marcelo.
