Japan Football Formation

Lineup (4-2-3-1)

D. De Gea · O. Ruggeri · D. Passarella · J. Belletti · Y. Nagatomo · F. Beckenbauer · B. Charlton · M. Laudrup · R. Milla · H. Stoichkov · Romario

i went with a tampered 4231..

I have the best defensive partnership in the draft with Passarella and Ruggeri together but compliment each other very well and a match for any attack.

I have two wing backs Beletti and Nagatomo. These two can run all day and are great defenders too.. Beckenbauer sits just in front of the twp o centre halves as a libero when defending he is a 3 defender and when attacking he steps up and joins the attack..

In front of The Emperor I have Sir Bobby quite simply one of the greatest midfielders ever.. he will be my engine using his great stamina and fitness, using his great passing abilitys to start and end attacks - when chances prevent themselves don't be surprised to see a 30 yard thunderbolt rifle in the the top corner.

In Front of Sir Bobby I have Michael Laudrup who will join in using his brain and great vision and passing to bring my wide men and slip my striker in behind defences.

One my wings I have one of the greatest African Players of all time Roger Milla. Who will be invited to use his great skill and finishing ability to reek havoc. On the left I have Stoichkov who could run at defenders he could cross he worked hard and he scored goals.. the understanding between him laudrup and romario was a vital component of barca's dream team.

Like I have just mentioned i have romario up front. He scores, he is quick, the ultimate opportunist and the perfect player to lead the line for me.

Where I win - The majority of football games are won in the middle of the park, as strong and powerful Red Tigers midfield is they meet their match here.. Beckenbauer and Charlton are full of finesse and grace but they played football in a time where GBH on a football pitch wouldn't have warranted a yellow card so they are also very tough.

carlos and cafu are at there best on the front foot.. well they want to when the know milla and stoichkov will be left free and between my geniuses in the middle they will be found.

Where I am weak is in the full back areas but with beckenbauer playing as a libero there will always be an extra body to help mop up..

All in All between my backbone and my wingers I believe I have enough to see off the tough challenge from red tiger.
