I know he doesn't score but I mean playing one up front who is in reality a second striker anyway is just ridiculous in a home game. Why is Zala even in the squad if Lippi has no faith in him? Or is Lippi just a fool?
i know, not it seems like a bad choice, but lippi really had to make a gamble. he chose DP as a lone stricker as there could have been a chance that he would do well. appearantly, lippi was wrong.
maybe he thought that DP would do a better job than Zala.
i didn't like how he came up with a defensive strategy.
Why is Zala even in the squad if Lippi has no faith in him?
i meant that Lippi does have more than enough faith in him. this is obvious because he put Zala in before he put DV.
...
this is how i would have played:
----------------------------Buffon------------------------------
--Thuram-------Tudor-------------Ferrara----Zambrotta
----------------------------Tacchi----------------------------
-------------Camo-----------------------Davids--------------
----------------------------Nedved----------------------------
---------------------DV----------------DP----------------------
Then place Zala instead of DV in the second half.
then, when ZAmbrotta asked to be replaced, i would he just put pessotto or biri and not rotate the players' positions (so i wont mess up the team composure)
this would have been a more attcking line-up since it was a home game.
