Prolifik Tactics/writeup
No change to the 4-3-3 formation, with Albert as false nine, Eusébio enjoying something of a free role although nominally on the right, and Rensenbrink in his customary wide forward position. The midfield fits like a glove with Silva shielding the back four, peak Matthäus in the box-to-box role, and Prosinečki pulling the strings. Behind them, Nesta replaces Aldair to complete a GOAT-level defence alongside Passarella, Carlos Alberto, and Cole, with Chilavert an imposing figure between the sticks. Carlos Alberto is the more adventurous full-back, while Cole is more balanced although still very capable on the overlap.
Silva supported by Matthäus is a brilliant tandem to keep tabs on Maradona, especially since there are also no weak spots in our back four to exploit. Albert as a false nine creates the challenge of whether to have one of the centre-backs step out to track him, or leave it to one of Essien or Van Hanegem, who will also be dealing with Prosinečki and Matthäus.
