Formation XI (4-1-3-2)

Explanation of Formation

As the peak career of Zoff during 1970s should beat the 2000s of Buffon. Facchetti is applied to perform as right-back as it is much possible to play well as he is a natural right-foot player. Scirea will play as sweeper so Baresi has to apply himself as a stopper, should be no problem. Matthaeus is set as a DM. Maradona and Platini are untouchable first choice. Rivera is higher status of legends than Gullit who is selected to fulfill equivalent of formation as he could go right-wing very well. Meazza support Van Basten to make scores.
