Roberto Carlos names Chelsea attacker Ziyech among World Cup best

Morocco star Hakim Ziyech has been named as one of the best players at the Qatar World Cup by 2002 winner Roberto Carlos.

The Brazilian former left-back was full of praise for Chelsea winger Ziyech.

The attacker helped his country to fourth place in the tournament, after they were beaten in the semi finals by France and the third placed playoff by Croatia.

Morocco did beat Spain in the round of 16 and Portugal in the quarter finals to get to that stage.

Asked about his top players in every position, such as goalkeeper, defender, fullback, midfielder, winger, forward and technical player, ex-Real Madrid star Carlos replied on Instagram: "Livakovic, Otamendi, Alex Sandro, Tchouameni, Ziyech, Mbappe and Modric."
