DUDE....DONT TALK BULLSHIT IF U DONT KNOW. ZAMBRO WAS A FULL BACK FOR 2 YEARS. AND IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR HIM TO PLAY THAT POSITION.
First of all "dude", turn off your caps lock key.
I don't care if he was a full-back for two years, that doesn't mean it's his best position. Tudor has been played as a defensive midfielder too, where he gets injured all the time and is basically shite. Thuram showed how good he can be as a centre-back, but has Lippi played him there? No. So don't go telling me that just because a coach plays a player in a certain position, he's ideal there.
Zambro's NATURAL POSITION is a right midfielder, and if you remember, he was switched to left back as a makeshift defender. You must be blind if you can't see that Zambro is a fockin excellent winger. He's got pace and awesome crossing ability, but his defensive skills aren't the best in the world. So why waste his energy by making him run back, when we could sign a new left back and give him the freedom to be an attacking player, thereby maximising his attacking potential?

THE REASON THAT HE COULDNT GO FORWARD WAS BECAUSE IN THE 4.-2-3-1 FORAMTION U HAVE TO PLAY IN A FORWARDED POSITION OVERALL SO THAT FULL BACKS CAN ATTACK. THATS WHY ZAMBRO WAS HEL BEHIND BECAUSE THE MOMENT HE GOES TO MUCH AHEAD...THE DANES WOULD KILL ITALY IN THE RERUNS.
I'm well aware of the reasons why he plays the position he does, as well as the formation he plays in. What I'm saying is that he doesn't HAVE TO be put in the left back role, forcing him to refrain from attacking in case they get hit on the counterattack. You're assuming that he should be placed at left-back and I'm asking him to be a fockin Roberto Carlos, which I'm not. All I ask is that he gets a fair go in the right midfield role which he's excelled at whenever played there
