Ibrahimović will cause major problems for you in the air.
He's facing a 3 man defense that has two powerful stoppers so any aerial service can be dealt by them.
And it's Ibra, not a battering ram who plays on the shoulder of the defense. Ibra at his peak would drop deep constantly and used his creativity to bring others in, which is Scirea's bread and butter and he won't allow any of that link up. We are talking about the greatest when it comes to reading the game, and he will always stay a couple of moves ahead of the Swede.
Vieri aside every player in my team has defensive contribution which is why the team has a classic Serie A side look. We'll have enough numbers at the back not allow any 1v1s whatsoever. We have 5 defenders across the pitch all perfect fits with Popescu who is a defender-midfielder hybrid with Modric and Platini in close attendance. We'll defend in numbers and break with menace as soon as we get the ball with Modric, Platini and Scirea all world class at starting counters. Releasing the front two and lightning quick wingbacks with your team committed in attack. Your team will have tippy tappy passing in front of our defense and literally all of your front 6 are creative player and there's no balance there by having off the ball outlets. Dzajic will need high usage to influence the game, as does Ibra, and your midfield needs their fair share of the ball. With Ibra dropping deep, Rivaldo dropping in that same zone and those midfielders advancing it will end up in a bit of a clusterfeck.
All that is during the phase you are having a spell of possession. We aren't parking the bus or playing deep the whole game, as soon as our players get into rhythm we will constantly stretch your defense around with the ball passed around your box, and with the lack of any defensive midfield both Platini and Del Piero will have easy routes to goal, especially with Vieri stretching them vertically and being constantly on the move being a general annoyance for the defense. We can easily go on the front foot and control possession with all three of my midfielders and Del Piero being super comfortable on the ball, and with Scirea to recycle possession if needed.
