Suffocate is the wrong word, it's more concerted damage limitation. I can see a goal eventually, but three? It has goalfest potential, I agree, but in any game with goalfest potential I would fancy the sturdier defence to tip the balance. Balu's is a guy utterly free and through on goal waiting to happen, while Tito's is a disciplined and well marshalled backline to be breached.
Rossi's value is in that if Balu defended deep he has a massive headache in his hands. That's what I only noticed today about Tito's attack, how adaptable it is and how the relative importance of players can change.
Was very much why I mentioned earlier Cafú would have settled my vote earlier. Zanetti is most likely being overrated while the opposite is likely the case with Forlán. And Ceulemans if I may add, cracking player that he was. Once I got Seeler (Jan was one of many alternative setups if I missed out on him) I actually mentioned to Balu he was one of the best options he had to replicate the Neeskens-Cruyff dynamic. Sneaky bugger, he then admitted he was thinking the same!
