Don't like this, sorry!Scirea and Beckenbauer
And can't think of a less symbiotic All-Time caliber pairing from a systemic/positional standpoint than Scirea and Beckenbauer — magnificent players, obviously, but I wouldn't put them (or indeed other prominent liberos like Passarella) together in the the same central defensive area just as I wouldn't put Di Stéfano and Cruyff or Redondo and Pirlo in the same team considering the overlapping nature of some of their most outstanding individual qualities. The combined effect will most likely be less than the sum of pristine individual parts — structurally analogous to something like Sammer/Blanc instead of intuitively harmonious ones like Sammer/Kohler or Blanc/Desailly.
