when it comes to judging players, there are not too many more qualified than kaka the 2007 ballon d'or winner and fifa world player of the year, beating cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi to the accolade that season, has selected the best eleven players he has played alongside or against for sportsmail it is a diverse mix of astonishing ability and experience from the different eras his career has spanned to date, from his humble beginnings at sao paulo in 2000 to joining mls side orlando city in 2014 playing for ac milan twice and real madrid in between has meant there are few of the planet's superstars of the past 15 years that he has not played for or against in a team packed with stars, there is no place for lionel messi in his side here, in his own words, kaka takes you through his best xi kaka (left), pictured in action against houston dynamo, has revealed his best xi exclusively to sportsmail  kaka has played for european giants ac milan (left) and real madrid (right) during his distinguished career  kaka, pictured celebrating a goal against croatia at the 2006 world cup, has also won 89 caps for brazil  exclusive interview: oscar and ozil tell me i should come to the premier league but i'm so happy in orlando  kaka's top five goals: from a solo strike against man united to a deflected free kick for new side orlando city  goalkeeper  dida  i played with iker casillas for four years at real madrid, but for me dida is the best goalkeeper we played together and won together at ac milan and for the brazil national team he is an unbelievable keeper goalkeeper dida, pictured making a save at the 2006 world cup, played with kaka for brazil and ac milan  defence  cafu  every time i have to say something about players that i've learnt a lot from, i talk about cafu he won the world cup twice and the champions league, but still he worked every day to win his motivation was always victory in the next game cafu, pictured kissing the 2002 world cup in japan, played for brazil for 16 years before retiring in 2008  paolo maldini  he is similar to cafu he won five champions leagues, he won serie a seven times, he won so much, but he was always the first to arrive and the last to go home from training he was the perfect example to a player ac milan legend paolo maldini (left) led the serie a club to both domestic and european glory across 24 years  alessandro nesta  the italian players, they see the game in a different way to other nations they grow up learning about tactics so when they play professionally they can see where to position themselves and how to move and what the opponents will do it made nesta such a strong defender and he was so quick, too alessandro nesta (left) tussles with liverpool's dirk kuyt during the 2007 champions league final in athens  roberto carlos  what an amazing player he was so exciting at left back i enjoyed playing with him he was quick, strong and could hit some unbelievable free kicks and shots at goal roberto carlos (left) became one of the world's finest full backs with real madrid and brazil  midfield  andres iniesta  he makes the toughest things on a football pitch look easy that's the biggest compliment i can pay him how he plays, everything seems so simple this is what i like about him barcelona midfielder andres iniesta brings the ball forward during sunday's clash with real madrid  zinedine zidane  i never played with zidane, just against him it was wonderful how he played, how he moved around the field it was like he was gliding what he could do with a football, it was sometimes impossible to imagine zinedine zidane (centre), pictured in action in 2005, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time  andrea pirlo  i loved to play with pirlo i think he's one of the greats he sees the action before anyone else does on the pitch my position was to play behind the lines, and he found me every time he could find me andrea pirlo, pictured playing for juventus this season, starred alongside kaka at ac milan  attack  cristiano ronaldo  i will have the three ronaldo's up front, starting with cristiano i learnt a lot from him, which helped in my career, when we played for real madrid he is the best player on the planet at the moment, a special player cristiano ronaldo celebrates scoring for real madrid in sunday night's el clasico at the nou camp  ronaldo  for me, the brazilian ronaldo is one of the best strikers in the history of the game he is different to anyone i would have to say he was the best player i played together with his speed, his dribbling, his finishing, his movement i love him kaka counts ronaldo, pictured in action at the 2006 world cup, as the best player he has ever played with  ronaldinho  i played against lionel messi, but ronaldinho makes my final slot he is a genius he can do things with the ball you don't understand during training you see a lot of things you don't see in the game in training he was free from the emotional part, the responsibility of matches in training he was free to do what he wanted kaka has described his former brazil and ac milan team mate ronaldinho as a 'genius' with the ball
