Inzaghi
With Barthez, you KNOW something's gonna happen.... he'll probably save spectacularly from certain goals, miskick his clearance, give away a penalty, and lets in easy goals... all probably in one game...
The defense, with Montero and Materazzi (helveg and legrottaglie are the subs) manning the central defense, you can expect:
a) one, or both of the central defenders' getting sent off
b) a penalty, or a free-kick (at the edge of the penalty box) given away
c) a horrible, horrible misunderstanding between centrebacks and gk
Fullbacks Iuliano and Melchiot WON"T be much of a help...
In midfield, Veron can povide some of the most spectacular cross-field through balls you'll ever see in your life, but he just doesn't know how to pass when the player he's passing to is right beside him... Then of course his tackling abilities is one to behold. Camoranesi will huff and puff.... and generally forget what on earth he's supposed to be doing.. Davids will do all the running, tackling, and arguing with refs needed for a player in his position, and he'll be lucky if he leaves the field with only conceding one yelllow card...
Upfront, Del Piero will turn and twist around defenders, then will screw it all up when he gets a clear shot on goal... And the only player who will manage to miss more clear cut chances in front of goal than DP is none other than inzaghi himself... who'll no doubt complain everytime he gets an offside call...
Oh, you cannot have a team without someone to coach them... And Claudio Ranieri (Kevin Keegan's the assistant) does the job superbly for the squad...
