Hard to split the teams. Raees deserves credit for choosing two 1930s centre-halves who are both among the top half-dozen or so South American of all time. The defence is solid and Dino Baggio is a good legacy award and fits the shape of this game where Sjor would have general midfield control but Baggio would be a very effective off-the-ball presence.
For Sjor I'd have preferred Blokhin but otherwise it's very solid and well packaged. It's a bit of a mental switch, but if we think in terms of a match-clock where it's the 85th minute, it's entirely realistic to move to that kind of set-up. It would be too risky to do that for 90 minutes, but to force an equaliser, it's the right move.
