I deployed my ideal Italy with a fairly fluid 4-1-2-1-2. There is quantity and quality in every department. If you like, it is also a somewhat provocative formation, because I decided to focus everything on quality, starting with the defense.
A defense with two center-backs like Baresi and Scirea in reality would be hardly feasible, but I couldn’t leave either of them out and I didn’t feel like fielding a 5-man defense.

Goalkeepers
I consider Buffon and Zoff on the same level, so choosing one or the other depends on personal taste. In this case my preference goes to Buffon.

Defense
What a simply crazy defensive department!!! It was especially difficult-as I mentioned earlier-to first choose 8 names (there are many more) and then deploy them.
In reality at the center of the defense would fit one of Baresi and Scirea with whom I would place Nesta or Cannavaro alongside, but being a game I want the highest quality, so I opt for an atypical defense with Baresi and Scirea, two “heavyweights” of the defense. On the left Paolo Maldini, on the right Gentile.

Midfield
I think the midfield department has all in all a good balance. All the players play in their natural roles: Pirlo plays the role of the deep-lying playmaker to dictate the tempo, as an inside player there are Gattuso (more defensive) and Tardelli (more “forwards” and offensive). The number 10, in the role of trequartista, can only be the “Golden Boy” Gianni Rivera.
I could have opted for a formation with two outfielders (and in this case the papabili would have been Bruno Conti and Donadoni) but according to the formation he would have lost a little.

Attack
The pair of forwards consists of Roberto Baggio and Gigi Riva, two formidable forwards with very different and extremely complementary characteristics.
