Which formation if Zidane isnt playing?

[lefutur]

Sooner or later during the WC Zidane will need to be replaced because he will get tired or , god forbid, injured.

I'm wondering what the formation will be at that point...the same that they used during the qualifiers without him or something else?

I believe Dhorasoo was the playmaker at that time with obviously limited results.

Any ideas?

With a 3-2-3-2 formation :

Sagnol---Gallas---Thuram----------Abidal---Malouda

Vieira---Dhorasoo---Wiltord--------Henry---Trezeguet





These are of course the seats for the return flight...

[gaijin]

Simple 4-4-2.

Vieira and Makelele in the centre. Ribery, Malouda, Wiltord, Dhorasoo whoever outwide and Trez and Henry upfront.

Is this what they were playing during the qualifiers...minus Ribery of course?

Barthez (:/)
Sagnol-Thuram-Gallas-Abidal/Silvestre
Vieira-Makelele-Dhorasoo
Wiltord-Henry-Trezeguet

Something like this.

Something like this.


------------Barthez

--------Thuram-Gallas-
Sagnol-----------------Abidal/Silvestre
----------Makelele
-------------------Vieira
-------------Dhorasoo
Wiltord
------------------------Henry
-----------Trezeguet

And if you don't trust Dhorasoo :

-------------Wiltord
Ribéry

What's cool is that you can put most of the players of the squad with the same system.

for instance upfront :

Wiltord
------------------------Henry
-----------Trezeguet

becomes

Ribéry
-------------------------Saha
-------------Cissé

barthez

sagnol--thuram--gallas--abidal

viera----maka

wiltord-----------------malouda

trez----henry

Scarface huh? somehow I don't think you'll be calling him that if Lyon acquires him this summer. :rolleyes:

Did not fit in...:p

Bah, depends on if you want Henry/Saha + foxinthebox or rocketpropelledgrenade...Otherwise :

(...)
Wiltord
------------------------Malouda
-----------Henry

But yours is a feasible 'playmakerless' formation too.

[guignol]

Scarface huh? somehow I don't think you'll be calling him that if Lyon acquires him this summer.why not? it's what they called him at galatasaray before they came up with ferraribery, it was meant affectionately... you do know the place scarface holds in the pantheon of les jeunes, i hope? and c'mon now, no one's going to say "scar? what scar? oh, i hadn't noticed!":rolleyes:

But yours is a feasible 'playmakerless' formation too. it works for OL, who depends on no playmaker... sure there's juninho, but him putting his foot on the ball and directing traffic is not even plan B, it's more like system D... the genius is that not only don't you know who's going to score the goal, you don't even know who's going to set it up. look at the three red arrows during an OL match on TV, it's always kif-kif-kif!
