Hard to say. Zoff plays to system Ancelotti plays at Juventus, and all you can say is that this means:
3 central backs
2 wings
2 defensive midfielders
1 offensive midfielder
1 supporting striker
1 (center)forward

Depending on who the wings are and how they play (Zambrotta and di Livio can play back) it is something between a 5-3-2 and a real 3-5-2. With Totti on the field, you can even call it a 4 player midfield sometimes, so it's between a 5-4-1 and a 3-6-1 (as vs. Turkey).
Against Sweden it particularly sucked, as they played with 8 more or less defensive elements. Negro played "right midfield" in the 2nd half...

I'd prefer a clear cut 3-5-2 without "midfielders" like Pessotto and move Fiore for Albertini with Totti taking Fiore's place leaving space for del Piero as supporting striker. With that cast even Inzaghi should score sometimes...
