its not about tracking back to defend...if we play 3 midfield, i want players who stay put in their postion to keep the shape of the formation....
i disagree we only need emerson to hold his position in the centre the other two players dont need to be as rigid as players can cover for each other given that we will have 3 players on each side of the pitch for example if nedved is caught to far forward then del piero could track back and cover for him for a minute or two its all about good communication and working well together as a unit creating overlaps out wide and taking advantage of of greater numbers out wide
thats not too practical... all the overlapping would create confusions and holes...thats why its important to have 3 central midfielders who is steady. in their position..i dont trust Nedved with that..he tend to drible like a madman and dribble lose the ball...this might b e ok in the wing where if he lose the ball the damage would be easily covered, or in the trequetista where the are DMs behind him..but on 3 man midfield, he would create unstability...
