Clubs historic best foreign XI (one nation only)

samedi 2 janvier 2016

I was thinking about which clubs could field the best eleven from foreign players from one country, as certain clubs historically have an affiliation with certain nations (e.g Barca and the Netherlands).

Here are a few examples:

Barca x Netherlands

Hesp
Reiziger --- F. De Boer --- Koeman --- van Bronckhorst
Neeskens --- Cocu --- Davids
Overmars --- Kluivert --- Cruyff


Milan x Brazil

Dida
Cafu --- Alex --- Thiago Silva --- Serginho
Emerson
Robinho --- Kaka --- Leonardo
Altafini --- Ronaldinho


Roma x Brazil

Doni
Juan --- Aldair --- Zago
Cafu --- Falcao --- Emerson --- Cerezo --- Taddei
Mancini --- Dino da Costa


Inter x Argentina

Carrizo
Zanetti --- Samuel --- Burdisso
Veron --- Almeyda --- Simeone --- Cambiasso
D. Milito --- Crespo --- Cruz


Porto x Brazil

Helton
Danilo --- Maicon --- Pepe* --- Branco
P. Assuncao --- Fernando --- Deco*
Hulk --- Jardel --- Derlei

* going by birth place as opposed to national team


Lazio and Real Madrid could also field strong sides based on Argentines that have played for them. Inter could do similar with an all-Brazil XI. Can anyone think of an example outside of Brazilian/Argentine players? Barca's Dutch XI is the only one I can think of. Probably some English clubs that could field a strong all-Scottish or Irish side, but not that I know of.
