Dzeko: 'Totti one of five best ever'

By Football Italia staff

Edin Dzeko named Torino goalkeeper Joe Hart and Roma teammate Francesco Totti in his Dream Team. “Totti one of the best five players in the world ever.”

The Giallorossi striker spoke to Sky Sports UK show Fantasy Football Club and picked the best 10 players he’s ever worked with.

“For me, Totti is one of the best five players in the world ever. To have the chance to play with him and get the ball from him is incredible.

“I remember when I was growing up the Italian league was probably the best in the world, and I watched him and now I have the chance to play with him.

“When you see him in and around the training ground and in the dressing room, you wouldn't know it was Totti. That's what makes him such a great player and a legend.”

Dzeko also reserved great praise for his former Manchester City teammate Hart, who is also now in Serie A with Torino.

“Hart is definitely the best goalkeeper I have played with. I played with him for four-and-a-half years at Man City and he saved us so many times.

“The two titles we won at City were definitely because of him as he made so many fantastic saves. He was also always there for the team. If things went wrong he was always there being positive and shouting at us from behind. That's why he's my number one.”

Dzeko’s Dream XI: Hart; Maicon, Boateng, Kompany, Kolarov; Toure, Lampard, Silva; Totti, Aguero, Tevez
