As for the defenders, Cafú was the right-back. The Brazilian won the World Cup with Brazil and was the one who lifted the Cup in 2002, besides having a very successful career in Italy with AS Roma and AC Milan. Another Milan player, Paolo Maldini, occupies the position of left-back, after his brilliant career in the Rossoneri and the Italian national team. In the central positions, the chosen one was Franz Beckenbauer. The Kaiser was the most voted ahead of others like Sergio Ramos, who remains close to being in the best team in history.
