Hulk: It has to be Messi

FIFA – It has been quite a year for Hulk. Not only did his performances with FC Porto earn him a call-up to the Brazil side, they also secured him a high-profile move to Russian side Zenit St Petersburg.

His displays could also garner him votes for the FIFA/FIFPro World XI, a side he would pick himself to play in, as he revealed in a good-humoured chat with FIFA.com, the latest in a series of interviews with leading figures on the FIFA Ballon d’Or 2012 awards.
