Hi everybody,
As I saw from your posts friends, I think most of you like either 4-5-1 or 4-4-2.
In my opinion, I think 4-5-1 would be the best formation Real can use in such a game. At the same time we need attacking, we also need to stop their sides runs. Using Figo at right & Solari at left will mainly force Barca siders to stay busy in marking most of the time.
This way Puyol & Coco (Francesco) "or whoever play at sides" will need to stay back keeping eyes on Real's wingers and this also means Barca will try to attack from the centre "& this is what Real should force Barca to do" where Makelele & Helguera can do their “must to do” job. Even if Barca moved to sides using only their front players, then mostly Overmars & LE "or whoever" will be lonely there without the support they need from their Back-wings.
Using only one winger (Figo) will give Barca a complete side "Real's left" free to attack through and this means more chances to be created from that side. I mean if Real used 4-4-2 with Figo, ZZ, Raul & Guti, this will give Barca's right back-winger a wider space to run from and support their right front winger also.
You all saw how Overmars can run & dribble easily in front of a defender "suppose to be

" like Salgado

so imagine what if Coco get the chance to support Overmars runs also. Many chances can be created from their and Real need to stop this clearly " I am not confident that Salgado can do this job clearly… not even hardly with colored cards

...but let us hope he could remembers Celta's days "
That was about the Real right side. RC with the help of Solari can keep this side ours mostly. Thats why Real needs TWO wingers this time in my opinion. While Real needs only to control the game and slow its pace, I think catching their sides with 2 wingers and using 2 DMCs at the same time, will guarantee a well controlled match perfectly.
Then, this is my preferred formation:
IKER IKER IKER "or Cesare

"
Salgado

"Geremi

" Heiro Pavon RC
Makelele Helguera
Figo ZZ Solari
Raul
If you reached this point, then Thanks a lot truly for reading my post
