Formation, Tactics and what not., 4-4-2 Diamond with Rui Costa ? Options

[Orange_Hitman]

This thread is to discuss what formation is most adapted to our squad considering all the new signings :

Despite Antoine Kombouare's reluctance to give up his precious 4-4-2 last season, one can not but think he will be forced to change his formation towards a 4-2-3-1 adapted specifically for Pastore.

However with the latter's delayed vacation, and Hoarau's regain of form during this summer transfer window, we will most likely start the season with the following 4-4-2 :

---------------------------Sirigu-------------------------
Jallet-------Bisevac---------------Sakho---------Tiene
--------------------------Matuidi-------------------------
------------------------Chantome-----------------------
Menez-----------------------------------------------Nene
------------Gameiro---------------Hoarau--------------

Some uncertainties remain :
- Will Menez be fit by next weekend ? If not what are the alternatives ?
- Ceara or Jallet ? The latter have the advantage considering the Brazilian has only partaken in 1 test game, because he was recovering from injury during the summer. However, the competition will be fierce for the starting Right Back spot.
- Chantome or Bodmer ? Both players have impressed last year and in the friendly pre-season games, however the former seems more fit and have the adequate skills to cover this position in the 4-4-2, Bodmer being more of a traditional slow play-maker.

Looks like Ancelotti used some tactics over the pasts years he was coaching so let's see what will be the plan for this new PSG. Our main targets seem to be Kakà and Pato, 2 former Milan AC player and at that time Carlo used to play like that



Replacing Inzaghi by the brazilian of course.

Here's a interesting article from zonal marking, i know there's another one concerning Ancelotti himself but i can't find it right now.

Anyway I really hope Ancelotti is set for PSG since a while and that he used that time learning what PSG is like because all over his Milan AC period he dealt with athletic wing back (not sure of the term) and that's clearly one of PSG's lack this year. Can't imagine Sylvain Armand trying to support our attacks...
