Spain: Home of the best midfield in the world

June 8th, 2006 | By: Ian | 7 Comments »

So says Luis Aragones, who remains overly confident about his team heading into the World Cup.

How does Spain’s midfield stack up against Brazil’s? Look for yourself:

SPAIN: 6 MF ALBELDA David - (Valencia, ESP); 8 MF XAVI - (Barcelona, ESP); 10 MF REYES Jose Antonio - (Arsenal, ENG); 13 MF INIESTA - (Barcelona, ESP); 14 MF XABI ALONSO - (Liverpool, ENG); 16 MF MARCOS SENNA - (Villarreal, ESP); 17 MF JOAQUIN - (Betis Sevilla, ESP); 18 MF FABREGAS Cesc - (Arsenal, ENG).

BRAZIL: 5 MF EMERSON - (Juventus, ITA); 8 MF KAKA - (AC Milan, ITA); 10 MF RONALDINHO - (Barcelona, ESP); 11 MF ZE ROBERTO - (Bayern Munich, GER); 17 MF GILBERTO SILVA - (Arsenal, ENG); 18 MF EDMILSON - (Barcelona, ESP); 19 MF JUNINHO PERNAMBUCANO - (Lyon, FRA); 20 MF RICARDINHO - (Corinthians, BRA).

Brazil may have the best player in the world, but no team matches Spain’s depth in the midfield.

You’re joking. Kaka is even better than ronaldinho in the national team. Kaka and Ronaldinho are unstoppable. Also, England midfield :Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Cole, that is by far the strongest, even stronger than Kaka and Ronaldinho.

Kaka and Ronaldinho are fantastic, but two players does not = depth.

I think England’s got the best starting midfield line in the tournament, but Spain has the greatest depth, no question.

Er… Spain has got the best midfield in the tourney without a doubt. Brazil have got two maybe three quality players in midfield and England have 4. Pretty much all of Spains midfield are excellent. So there…

Ghana has the best midfield. Argueably the best mdifield player in the world in Michael Essien.
