It is proved that pace is not needed to become one of the best footballer as legendary players like Puyol, Pirlo and Zanetti have won everything, World Cups, Champions League and League trophies.
These slowest players have the ability to come up against quickest footballers like Carles Puyol has faced one of the World’s quickest footballer Cristiano Ronaldo many times.
So here I have gathered the starting eleven of slowest players in the world.
