Bomb Dropper
i see him use different formations... especially upfront he played with Rossi-Nihat and before it with Forlan-Jose Mari..
regarding the defensive duties.. u don't need the entire team to go back to defend.. that's very old school .. nowadays u apply pressure from the front.. it's not like Iniesta or Xavi were trailing back to defend.. so the CM to AM it's just on paper ..
u need to keep possession and pressure the defenders from above..
during 2002 CL trophy Makelele played as as lone DM
------------------Makelele-------------------
Figo---------------Zidane-------------Solari
------------Moro-------------Raul ...
it's how u apply your defensive duties...
and leverkusen spent the whole second half battering you and only a great performance from iker kept you in the lead.
and even then zidane was more of a CM than kaka and solari was a proper worker.
