Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Ottavio Bianchi's Napoli 1986/87 bring 4-3-1-2 and individual brilliance with two strikers. Tommy Svensson's Sweden 1994 answer with 4-4-2 and two strikers with tournament steel; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
