My Global Young Team of the Year! (Players 21 and under)

This team is made up of the 11 players who first off:  qualify.  They have to be 21 and under.  Second, they've made themselves known in the soccer world, and are already making an impact so early in their career.  Well, here they are.  I felt like this team deserves a 4-5-1, just to change it up a little bit.  I think with the players, if they really were a team, they could play a 4-4-2, but hey, what the heck.

Forward: Alexandre Pato (AC Milan)

• Pato has already become a starting player for the Italian championships.  He scored the same amount of goals in Serie A as his two Milan teammates Ibrahimovic and Robinho.  He's absolutely outstanding, and he is the future of forwards, and, the attack of the most feared team, Brazil.  He barely makes the age cut off date, but he is absolutely outstanding.

Midfielders: Neymar (Santos), Mario Gotze (Borussia Dortmund), Eden Hazard (Lille), Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal)

• Neymar is also the future of Brazilian football.  He is a fast, and crafty winger, and he's only 19!  The Brazilian League season isn't the same as Europe, but last season he won countless awards for all the goals he scored for Santos.  He is set to be transfered to somewhere in Europe this summer, and he will absolutely outstanding.
• Gotze is only 18 years old, but already, he's a starting player for the German champions, Borussia Dortmund.  He's also a fast and creative player like Neymar, but he's got that German toughness that can't seem to be stopped.  He wracked up 15 assists in Bundesliga play, which is a lot, in case you're wondering.  I imagine he is the future of German midfield.
• Eden Hazard, the Belgian was named Player of Ligue 1.  Not YOUNG player.  THE PLAYER of the whole league.  He's not even 21 yet!  He played in all of Lille's league game this season, and he is one of the main reasons they won the title this year.  This man, is absolutely outstanding at football.
• Aaron Ramsey, captain of Wales, and only 20 years old.  He suffered a major injury earlier in his career, but he's back in action, and he's wracking up goals galore for Arsenal.  He's the new Ryan Giggs, and I mean come on, he's the captain of his country already!
• Jack Wilshere, also of Arsenal like Ramsey, was named to the Premier League Team of the Year, and he won an award for Young Player of the Year.  He's the future of English football.  He's a pass master, and he knocks in goals every now and again.

Defenders: Fabio (Manchester United), Rafael (Manchester United), Gareth Bale (Tottenham), Mamadou Sakho (PSG)

• I'm only going to do one bullet for the twins, I mean, everything about them is exactly the same.  They are both recurring players for Manchester United.  They are both fast paced fullbacks, and they're the future of Manchester United and Brazilian defense.
• Gareth Bale is now worth $50 million euros.  He's a Welsh back that can also play winger.  He was named as a Player of The Year for the Premier League, and to the Team of The Year.  He defends fantastic, he scores great goals, and defenders are scared of him.
• Sakho is the future of French defense.  He is a permanent starter for PSG, and he has been already for 3 seasons.  He already has Champions League football under his belt, so be prepared for this man to make a name for himself as a defender in the future.

Goalkeeper: David de Gea (Athletico Madrid)

• He's 20 years old, and is already being named "The Next Van Der Sar".  He started all 38 league games for Athletico Madrid this season, and kept 11 clean sheets, which are the same stats as who I chose as goalkeeper of the year, Manuel Neuer.  He's tall and agile, and he is the next great Spanish goalkeeper.  Manchester United are after him, but he won't decide on his fate until after the Under 21 championships.
