[@chromo-rouge7549]

Slurms Mckenzie it is actually true, its some years ago but an ex playmate told this in an interview

[@Kiddingyoumust]

Nowadays I often see players doing interviews and it appears they really don't want to be doing it at all, but Lothar here seems so happy to talk about his team lol Refreshing. I love it.

[@mystic.3754]

He seemed so calm and chill ...

[@angad10]

Kiddingyoumust he loves football.

[@laughingbad]

When you love a sport so much, you love everything about it, even doing interviews. It's part of pro football.

[@radrichiie]

"Because I can't vote for myself" Lol. The team is insane, although I would have liked to see Ballack in there.

[@sandyrl7085]

Matthaus over ballack

[@Subha95]

@@sandyrl7085 he stated Ballack for attacking midfield and yeah Ballack was more of an attacking player than defending

[@mybitmix]

Really good selection from Lothar. He picked his squad objectively and players who have proven themselves in all levels, BuLi, CL, Euros, and WC.

[@nifrain9494]

MyBitMix nah he only picked bayern players

[@kidpagronprimsank05]

Karl-Heinz Förster was very underrate great defender. Small, but very strong physically, great tackling skill and had great sense of positioning.

[@atlante4368]

Lothar sounds friendly, enthusiastic, and hugely knowledgeable in this interview. Love his honorable mentions of Jorginho, Lúcio, Zé Roberto and Elber.

[@delamotta]

Jorginho was a good one, even us Brazilians often forgot how good was Jorginho

[@ahmedabughalia4957]

Some of the stuff he said I don't agree, ex: why did he take off ribery, who was an amazing player for bayern Munich and replaced with someone else. Because this squad can't be complete in the wings without ribery and robben

[@saadkhatib3456]

The best thing is that he included Karl-Heinz Forster, one of the best Defenders of ALL TIME , if not the best defender that ever lived!!!!, for sure the best man-to-man defender of all times, the most underrated player of all time.

[@guillermojbello3387]

Sa'ad Khatib Completely true. You know about football, mate. My football idol when I was young.

[@leonardoh.h.2095]

The team is perfect, but I still prefer Ballack, his shot and pass was 100% precision..... Good team anyway. Thanks Matthews for the show that you give for us. Big Hug.

[@GilvorakTV]

That was surprisingly entertaining. Nice team.

[@ericsmidt6923]

Love seeing new names (to me) in this XI's. Amazing team!

[@jurgencaushi7184]

If Lothar had humor, he should had included Effenberg...

[@guillermojoaquinbello448]

Nice to see my two favourite defenders ever : Karl-Heinz Förster and Franz Beckenbauer. Karl-Heinz was the world´s best central defender in the 80´s. For me, the best and fairest tackler in football history. He was very strong in the air despite being only 178 cm tall.

[@guillermojoaquinbello448]

No pasa nada con los centrales de poca altura. Todo lo contrario. Tiene mucho más mérito y eso es lo que quería destacar. Era un halago pero parece ser que no lo has entendido así. Lo siento. Al menos te doy las gracias por contestar. Y no olvides a Roberto Fabián Ayala.

[@guillermojoaquinbello448]

OK, I´ll take notice. Regards.

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

Guillermo Joaquín Bello Lahm must be a close second to Beckenbauer; he's had only 16 fouls, 0 reds in ~300 appearances. Also he's only 1,70m!

[@xthorlahx]

You just can't disagree with this team. Just can't.

[@Bnds3Alw]

Except the fact Neuer isn't in goal

[@bane9109]

Kahn will always be better than neuer

[@WAKA34BUG56]

Yeah you can. I respect the fact that he didn't want to choose himself but he should be in the team over Schweinsteiger.

[@Bnds3Alw]

what I don't get about people is that the way football was back in the 70s 80s & 90s was far less advanced as it is today. You don't see the little tricks like what Ronaldo and all them do. Neuer is better in a lot of fields over Kahn *ex: sweeper keeper* Kahn is good on the ball and blocking a shot... Neuer gets you out of a pickle. What I am saying is, is that if u stick Kahn in goal vs Real Madrid, Barca, or even the modern Bayern Munich then he wont stand a chance.

[@nifrain9494]

Bnds3 - Always On A New Adventure of course Neuer has a better technique than Kahn, but you do dot need attacking skills to block shots?! You don´t rly want to say the way the players shoot changed?? because it did not

[@lexsoft3969]

Good to see him appreciated Gunter Netzer that much.

[@frankforster706]

Great selection, not too biased towards present day or Bayern Munich alone. The one guy I'm missing is the third candidate for defensive midfield which should probably be Matthias Sammer.

[@kidpagronprimsank05]

Sammer position is Beckenbauer, libero

[@arnepuro4966]

[@ghost-stormchannel2849]

Lothar Matthäus - The Pro

[@edwardspearing5148]

The formation is spot on... Other superb German players that readily come to mind.. Matthias Sammer.. Andy Moeller.. Bertie Vogts.. Thomas Haessler...Rainier Bonhof. As great a forward as he certainly was.. I've no time for Klinsmann.. As like the French World Cup n Euro Championship winner.. Robert Pires.. 2 shameless play actors.

[@eeeeuyeeeer]

I always put him in my top 11 of all time.

[@barisdurak17]

.. he is a one of the real legand in the football and real warrior

[@Serve75]

Amazing list!

[@elimwa8214]

Imagine how terrifying it would be to face this team with all these players in their primes!!!

[@broncojones3146]

What about Matthias Sammer? That would have been my pick as a defensive midfielder. Looks a little odd for me that people point out Littbarski and Effenberg (who IMHO should have made at least the extended selection)/ But noone seems to miss Sammer, who was one of the best defensive mitfielder ever. Is it because he is from east germany and people don't remember him as a Bundesliga player? Even though he played 2 Seasons for Stuttgart and 5 for Dortmund after the german reunion.

[@andrealagravinese6498]

Legend🖤💙

[@alfthehatter]

...he doesn't even consider Klinsmann. XD

[@NavShay]

Kids today don’t know how good this man was, he would dominate the midfield like no other player

[@jacksmith4460]

he was immense, IMO the most complete midfielder I have ever seen, world class does not do him justice

[@adesorcuppy4225]

And put there Lothar himself instead of Schweinsteiger. What a team.

[@Letmeusethishandlepleasr]

Schweinsteiger = Legend

[@jacksmith4460]

the most complete player ever IMO, he would get into my All time 11, not just Bundesliga (my midfield would be Zidane, Maradona and Lothar)

[@WorldsGreatestRingAnnouncer]

Pretty sure the bundesliga all-time xi is better then any other league's all-time 11

[@pokemasterdomingo]

Serie A is probably better

[@cleehomes]

Manchester United's all time best 11 is better than the whole of the Bundeslga all-time. GK Schmeichel RB Irwin, LB Evra, CB Ferdinand, CB Stam, HM Scholes, AM Best, AM Robson, AM Charlton, F Law, F Ronaldo. Other players who played in England such as Bobby Moore and Ashley Cole would strengthen it further!

[@kitomir9962]

serie a

[@timmytide1]

Chris Lee stop smoking crack you idiot

[@Metalton95]

La Liga and especially Serie A has just as many all time greats as Bundesliga, although the other 2 leagues' attacks seem more imposing than Serie A I guess. Van Basten/Ronaldo/Baggio/Nordahl etc. Platini/Maradona/Gullit/Zidane/Matthaus/Pirlo etc. Baresi/Bergomi/Scirea/Maldini/Nesta/Cannavaro/Cafu/Facchetti... Serie A arguably holds the best defenders overall, Beckenbauer was just the only one who's better than everyone else. Zoff/Buffon I wouldn't say there's a big gap between Bundesliga and Serie A or La Liga. A combined "best of Madrid/Barca" would be absolute top tier as well with a lot of the "top 20 players" of all time, as people are so fond of calling various players.

[@Bill-Butcher]

Good balanced team, but I think Jurgen Kohler should partner Beckenbauer... on pure defensive ability like tackling, man marking etc there was nobody better than Kohler... he was even good in the air... his strengths help cancel out Beckenbauer's weaknesses in my opinion... what a great defender Kohler was.

[@guillermojbello3387]

johan cruijff Kohler was an excellent defender but so Karlheinz Foerster. Hard choice.

[@AllGrindNoGimmics]

[@martinrisaavedra8764]

He miss the best ever midfielder: Stefan Effenberg, he was brave and has the encourage what need the great teams like Bayern Munich and his technique was wonderful, look at his matches, his vision on the pitch. Effenberg > Schweinsteiger > Van Bommel

[@MrAlumrocky]
