---------Rino---Ambro/Flamini----------
--------------Pirlo---------------------

Against Cagliari Pirlo was given similar extra freedom and we saw he was far more effective in this role than he was before. As a playmaker he needs room to create without being suffocated. Same goes for Kaka, who suffers greatly when Dinho plays as his usual freedom is restricted down the left of the pitch.
If we actually adopt this system, Pirlo will be able to roam the midfield up to the attack and our link up play would improve.
But Dev, my question is that would this formation hinder Kaka's game? Because Pirlo, if successful, will play with more freedom and since he can dribble and run with the ball at times, how would this affect Kaka? I am actually uncertain so if anyone could pour some light into it..

Also, against Cagliari, neither Kaka nor R80 played. When they return, this will be a completely different ball game.
