After two defeats Basile will try to get this currently being built team its first win (yeah nice team to try...I hope we're not paying anybody for this fixture) against France(last game the two nations faced each other was 21 years ago...before Gago was even born). As oposed to his usual display on the field(4-3-1-2 with a clear play maker) Alfio "Coco" Basile pressed by circumstances like the whole dying of the pure 10 position, the injury of Aimar, the need for a less risking scheme when facing last WC's finalists who pretty much have had the same team and same coach until now, very physical opposition, etc, has chosen a more conservative 4-4-2 formation.
With 9 players that played for the "albiceleste" at Germany the starting XI will be:
Zanetti of 8?...hmmm...I know that he is playing there at Inter but we could do with some fullbacks right now since Burdisso and Heinze aren't specially known for going forward to the end and sending crosses(needed when the defence is closed inside the area), Saviola will have to do this and in addition to Crespo, Cambiasso or Lucho will have to surprise there looking for the header...Lucho Gonzales(
) will probably have a free role and move throughout the field acting more or less as the link between midfield and the two forwards(Old habits die hard for Basile)
Anyone got the staring XI of "le Bleus"?
