    I see 4 in the backline but how does the MF and FW line up?

    4-4-2 or 4-3-3?

    Or a 4-5-1 when zidane plays :

    -------- Trezeguet -------

    Henry --------------- Wiltord

    --------- Zidane ---------

    --- Makelele ----- Vieira ----

    Lizarazu - Desailly - Silvestre (or Gallas) - Thuram

    As u can see there is a prob here : Pires

    So either Santini remove Trezeguet and put henry instead with pires as an offensice mid left, either he will have to try a 4-2-2-2, with pires and zidane as n°10, removing wiltord.

    OK thanks. I remember seeing that diagram. I know they play 3 guys in front of Zidane, I just wondered how.

    But I didn't know that Trez was the "deep" man up top. I always thought it was and should be Henry, but what do I know?
