Zlatan was picked because he was the best forward we have. I love del piero, but I remeber he wasn't in form in capello's early days. Zlatan performed in offense better than anybody. Capello doesn't pick his starting eleven based on potential or how famous the player, and that's why Alex sat on the bench, because fabio couldn't care less who are you. He's a strict coach, and to start you have to be in form. Zlatan wasn't a potential back in 2005, he already played and perforemed on big stages, while marchisio not yet. Marchisio's time is coming, but not now. He has the potential to be a world class midfielder, but currently Tiago is the beter player
