The world's ultimate soccer player has been unveiled in London -- and he has the vision of Xavi, the legs of Cristiano Ronaldo and the height of Peter Crouch, The Advertiser reported on Tuesday.
As part of the Castrol Rankings system, which assesses players in Europe's top leagues, the attributes of the globe's most dominant stars were molded together to create a model of the ideal footballer.
The carbon fiber and wax figure was sculpted over six months by two former artists from London wax museum Madame Tussauds.
The Castrol Edge Ultimate Performing Player would have a transfer value of more than US$415 million, based on the fees commanded by the real-life players that constitute him.
Each player that features was selected based on a unique Castrol Rankings insight -- for example, Crouch's height gives him unrivaled aerial supremacy, winning 241 aerial duels last season, more than 100 more than his closest rival.
Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who unveiled the model in London, said it would be a player who would dominate soccer like no other.
"Within this one player Castrol has included all the attributes, both physical and mental, that a manager looks for in his signings," he said.
