I like this formation because it's the got most sound balance between attack and defence. It's almost symmetrical, in that we have 4 players constantly in attack, and one of the CMs (Maresca) will probably get forward more to help out in attack, while Tacchinardi will play more of a stopper role and defend.
5 attacking-minded players, 5 goal-stoppers
