Revealing a lot about my age and the football I grew up with here. Also showing very clearly that I am English with a very clear bias.
I realise that I cheated by chucking Henry on the wing but he did at least play there for some of his career. It’s a cheat though and I’m okay with that because I want him on the team. I picked 4-4-2 to be on point for the 90s. That said, I maybe could have gone 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 with Baggio as the 1 and Ronaldo and Henry up front. Got to say though, I love the idea of a Baggio and Ronaldo strike partnership. The creativity and elegance of Baggio complimented by the explosive dynamism, strength and pace of peak Ronaldo. How good would that be?
I would have Psycho (Stuart Pearce), Jay-Jay Okocha, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham and Alan Shearer on the bench.
Roberto Baggio and Ronaldo (O Fenômeno).
