Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Jürgen Klinsmann's Germany 2006 bring 4-4-2 and high tempo with two strikers. Marcello Lippi's Juventus 2002/03 answer with 4-4-2 and two strikers with wide forwards; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
