Willian names none of his Chelsea team-mates in his dream five-a-side team

There's no goalkeeper either

Willian has clearly taken a side in the Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Lionel Messi debate.

The Chelsea winger was asked to name his dream five-a-side and he gave the Argentine the nod over his Real Madrid rival.

‘Defence be damned,’ thought Willian as he went all-out attack without anything resembling a defender or goalkeeper.

The team, selected in an interview with Squawka, includes Andres Iniesta and Zinedine Zidane in midfield, while fellow Brazilian Ronaldinho partners Messi in support of the striker.

And it’s the now-pudgier Ronaldo who got the shout up front by Willian to complete what looks a thoroughly thrilling side.

“Ronaldo Nazario. That’s my striker,” Willian said. “Ronaldinho Gaucho goes on the left.

“Messi on the right,” he added. “Zidane and Iniesta to organise the team.”
