WINDHOEK
Namibian professional player Riaan !Hanamub is loved by many for his speed, strength and ability to switch the match at any given time. The 25-year-old is a defender for Jomo Cosmos in the South African first division.
He joined Cosmos from Katutura-based outfit Orlando Pirates in 2018, while before that, he was signed to Touch 'n Go Football Club.
His greatest achievement so far, he said, was playing for the Brave Warriors at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, which was held in Egypt.
Goalkeeper
Liverpool's Allison Becker. He is second to none and has great reflexes.
Defenders
Me! I have a great work rate, a never-say-die attitude and I can move up and down the left flank with ease. I also have quality crosses.
Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold. He has pinpoint deliveries and the ability to join in attack.
Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk, who would also be the captain. He has great aerial ability and leadership skills. Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos, for his experience and never-say-die attitude.
Midfielders
Manchester United's Paul Pogba. For his fantastic diagonal passes, great physic and scoring abilities.
Real Madrid's Carlos Casemiro. He's the first to cover defenders and full backs.
Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe, for his great finishing, superb speed, dribbling skills and off-the-ball runs.
Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne. He has everything required for his position and has great vision. He also has a lot of assist in him and can score from anywhere.
Forwards
Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo. He's one of the best players in the word, and most goals will come from him.
Barcelona's Lionel Messi. A very consistent player who can create goal-scoring opportunities from nothing.
Formation
!Hanamub said he would use a 4-2-3-1 formation for his dream team.
While he will be playing the left-back position himself, he'd put Van Dijk and Ramos at centre-back and Alexander-Arnold at right-back. Central and defensive midfield would be played by Pogba and Casemiro, he added, while Mbappe would be in the left-wing position, De Bruyne at central attacking midfield and Messi at the right wing.
And, to wrap it all up, Ronaldo would be the lone forward, the footballer said.
