Looking at that squad, you wonder why the Italians aren't the World No1 side.

 

[mufc_daddy]

Hey whats with Zambrotta? He used to be a right midfielder yeh? Whats his better position?


What about Inter Milan's Coco? no room for him?

 

[IceBlu]

he plays at LB for Juve now and for the Azzurri as well... and is doing extremely well. Hes like a whole new player now - from an average midfielder to a world class defender - thanx to Lippi.

 

[mufc_daddy]

Yeh i was pretty impressed with him against Socieadad. He did some nice runs on the left wing (he did one awesome nutmge on someone, but the cross was dissaponting)


I'd choose him over Coco.

Wheres Quaresma He was in superb form in Barcelona's 3-0 win over Murcia Also I hate Costinha He commits stupid fouls and Quaresma would be better to have

 

[Punkt]

i couldn't choose a lot of wingers... in my list i have simão, boa morte, ronaldo, figo. and i don't like costinha too but i think we need three centre midfielders with defensive skills. petit and tiago are my first choices and for the third pick i think costinha is the best...
