rt9, I have to be quick, but let's look back at 2000/2003. We had Rino, Pirlo and Seedorf in midfield with Rui Costa and Rivaldo further up. Back then Seedorf used to move forward well down the left midfield with often Rino and Pirlo staying towards the centre. Defensively we weren't caught on the counter so often back then despite having supposedly less cover for the defence. This is partly due to the discipline of players like Seedorf and partly because of our strong pressing game, where essentially we simply didn't give opponents the chance to counter.
