I'm not planning of becoming a coach! Yah a lot of coaches use this formation. So I guess its the best. But My fave is 3-4-3 I like that one

I like the Italian way 4:4:2.
How about the "christmas tree" used by Ancelotti? do you like it? I think Kaka prefer the 4:4:2, instead of just relying in one striker.

The 4:4:2 is a great standard formation. I think though that the type of formation used should compliment the abilities of the players.

I still like 3:4:3. Milan would score a lot specially that they could only have three DF sense they're so good at it

Hey, Kenntak, I agree it is a so called Italian standard formation. If players have the ability to adapt to that formation, then, it will be following the Italian way.
On the other hand, MILAN 99, you are right. The 3:4:3 will work great with Ronaldo, SUPER PIPPO, and Kaka. It will be a matter of trying it more than 3 times to see results. In the meantime, I will continue with Kaka's views 4:4:2.
