Team 2mufc0/Gio
DEFENCE
Sol Campbell, two-time team of the tournament at WC 02 and Euro 04, 3-time PL team of the year, forms a natural stopper/sweeper partnership with Alan Hansen, 6-time PL team of the year and 3-time EC winner. Best of British at right-back Danny McGrain offers more defensive solidity and iron-lung flank support for Bestie ahead of him. Danny Rose takes his spot on the opposite flank, protected by the solid defensive support system of Giggs, Hansen and Mackay around him.
MIDFIELD
Spurs legend and midfield general Dave Mackay holds the fort in the centre of the park, injecting steel and smooth use of the ball, alongside the consummate all-rounder Luka Modric. The Ballon D'Or and CL-dominating (4-time winner) Croatian will link defence with attack and form sexual interplay with creative supremo Michael Laudrup ahead.
ATTACK
Barcelona and Real legend Laudrup should be in his element enjoying play-stretching passing options ahead of him, with Ryan Giggs working the left flank while the maverick George Best tears it up from the right. The United duo form a complementary partnership, blending all the lovely wingplay that gets your juices flowing. On the end of Laudrup's inch-perfect through balls will be Thierry Henry accelerating into space.
Team Zlatan
Steady hands with Zoff in goals
Playing a 352 starting with 3 warriors of centre backs, Aldair in the middle playing deeper but also able to move forward and carry the ball into midfield. Either side of him two England heroic centre backs. Maguire able to ping the ball into space on the wings and a head big enough to clear most balls into the box. Butcher even more dominant in the air.
Two wing backs in Alberto and Cole will provide width to the game.
A Carrick and Conte midfield, Carrick sitting deeper blocking passing routes and his distribution finding the width for the wingbacks, picking out zola in the pockets and van Persies runs in behind. Conte with his energy and work rate more in a box to box role
Zola will play behind the front two, picking up little spaces and then able to go on his mazy runs opening spaces for his killer passes and goal opportunities.
RVP and cha bum two lethal forwards, both able to run to the wings to provide that extra width if our wingbacks get pinned back or running in behind off zola.
