    Group 2 - Week 2 - announcement of line-ups


    Hungary vs Rest of South America-A

    Hungary line-up:
    PDG1978 said:
    Hungary line-up for Group Stage game 2 vs Rest of South America-A
    [​IMG]
    Subs to be used:
    After half-time - Albert for Hidegkuti (moving Sarosi back into midfield)
    After 70 minutes - Puskas for Czibor

    So after half-time Sarosi joins Bozsik in the midfield, a la the set-up in week 1, while Albert roams between the midfield and Tichy. After the final change the overall set-up is even a bit more similar to how things were at the end of the week 1 game, with Puskas high up on the left and cutting inside towards goal, and Bene operating in the inside and outside right areas.

    Rest of South America line-up:

    Group 2 - Week 2 - announcement of line-ups


    France-B vs Italy-B

    French line-up:
    [​IMG]
    Subs to be used:
    After half-time - Gallas for Leboeuf
    After 70 minutes - Six for Djorkaeff

    After the final change Six operates from the left wing, and Henry moves in behind Papin, leaving Zidane as the main central attacking midfield playmaker.

    Manager comments:
    Italian line-up:

    [​IMG]
    Subs to be used:
    After half-time - Vialli for Piola
    After 70 minutes - Burgnich for Bergomi

    The manager instructs his forward line to impose itself on the French defence, and anticipating some of the French selections, instructs Tardelli to carry out important marking work on Zidane, and the defence to make sure Henry doesn't have things easy.

    Yugoslavia vs British Isles-A

    Yugoslavia line-up:
    PDG1978 said:
    Yugoslavia line-up for Group Stage game 2 vs British Isles-A
    [​IMG]
    Subs to be used:
    After half-time - Boban for Modric
    After 70 minutes - Susic for Stojkovic (to play from closer to Suker)

    At the start of the second half, Boban plays from the left of Zebec (who operates more centrally but still with an eye on covering the left back area and still holding back behind the other midfielders) and Stojkovic from the right of centre, so it is more like how the midfield was set up in game 1. When Susic comes on though, Boban generally stays a bit deeper (advancing as appropriate to the overall game situation and the play as it develops) and plays more on Zebec's right hand side, while Susic roams from behind Suker as an attacking number 10 type.

    British Isles line-up:
    [​IMG]
    After half-time - Beckham for Bale (to play as right midfielder, while Best plays like an inside forward from the left wing)
    After 70 minutes - Greaves for Lineker ("for fresh legs and an extra push for more goals")
