Why we never play with wingers?

Why we never play with wingers? For my money, it's a great way to break the deadlock against the massive retaguards of today's football. Unfortunatelly, the only offensive play by the flanks we're using are Cafu's crosses from the right, and since he's performing skills are declining steadily year after year, the great majority of our offensive actions come from the middle, which turns our team very predictable.

Don't you think it will be good to change that scheme of things?

Well, Serginho sometime plays as a winger but it doesn't seem to be Carlo's style. BTW, welcome to the forums

Thanks.

You see, Ancelotti is good, but he's very conservative towards certain matters. Attacking from the flanks it's very important to open the enemy retaguard; and not only in football, but also on war hehehe.

well i guess your rite but what can we do?

In Milan, it is our tradition to use attacking fullbacks instead of wingers. Simple as that. The only recent coach that used wingers was Zac, and he was never regarded as one of Berlusconi's favorites.

Yeah, i agree playing by winger, you also play more attractive game also but Milan plays more "careful" style of game.

Not only a more attractive football, but also a more effective one

I agree on the point of using wingin' ( ) options. We have Pirlo who so great with long air-balls which wingers can take full advantage of. Amongst the available ones I strongly prefer Simão Sabrosa the most.

Someday I would like to see this formation atleast for the beggining minutes.

Wingers can move up and down once the ball is with Kaka or Pirlo. Futher, if we use attacking full backs they can be able able to support Rino and Pirlo.

Once the ball is up front Kaka can back Gila and Pirlo can act as an anchor just like Maniche did in WC and occasionally coming up with long range screamers.

Has anyone seen the partnership of Beckham and Shaun Wright-Phillips. They both work superbly with each other.

Oh I wish I could get this thing through Ancelotti head.

I like this information too, especially with Vicente on the left and Joaquin on the right.

Sounds like a very attractive and entertaining formation!

we cant play with wingers becouse we have pirlo and kaka in our team, and those two can only play DM and AM roles. Plus, they cant defend at all, so with two of them in the middle, and 2 mingers, we are domed! for example...........

.......pirlo---gattuso-----
RW------kaka-----LW
-------CF-----------

this means we only have 1 player that can defend properly, and that isnt acceptable in italian teams. that is why we have pretty offensive fullbacks like Cafu and Serginho to play down the flanks.

well seems a bit weak on the defending side i wouldnt mind if we have a strong defence plus i think it wud put so much fatigue in our players esp. prilo and kaka. unless zambrota and kuyt plays dude it wont be effective surly in the italian league. it wud be better if we played winger backs.





Now that wud be awsome.

I guess that we could have at least one or two wingers as tatical options.

By sure i have faith in Achelotti's tactics, today i saw Real with Emerson Diarra and Cannavaro, it was better in defending but useless in creating. Milan creates with Pirlo, Kaka, Seedorf and Gatuuso defends but i generally like the system with wingers.
