Juventus Football Formation

Lineup (4-2-4)

In my honest opinion this is the best all-time italy formation .

Some explainations:

** The 4-2-4 tactic is ispired by brazilian formation during Pelé era. In this formation, like that Brazil, midfielders have much offensive and creative behaviour than defensive and for this reason I choose for this role Rivera and Valentino Mazzola, beyond their undoubt legendary reputation.
** Unlike Brazilian 4-2-4, Full backs haven't much offensive approach. Italy hadn't legendary FB with as much excellent attack skills.
** While Italy had got many excellent LB (Maldini, Facchetti, Cabrini...), it lack the same offer for the opposite side. For this reason, i choose Bergomi, but honestly I'm not fully satisfief. Maybe I could prefer Fulvio Collovati or Aldo Ballarin... I don't know.
** Scirea and Baresi have the same role of Sweeper and similar qualities. This mean that one of two can alternately go forward and play like a CM, taking advantage of the good defensive skills of the two FB too. This mechanism allow also Mazzola and Rivera to attack more often and to be much supported.
** Antognoni and Conti could be replaced by Romeo Menti and Franco Ossola.
** Italy history offer many Strikers. I put Riva, but we could also choose Boninsegna, Gabetto, Piola, Graziani efc... without be wrong


I hope you appreciate!
