Yes, but by having two strikers and Totti play, you are either sacrificing Gattuso or Perotta. Who is going to win balls and mark Zidane? Pirlo is more of a converted playmaker - he naturally isn't a demolition man and will have his shins kicked off by Vieira. I understand what you're saying, but by doing that, we would expose the defense too much, as there will be no one on the pitch who can protect the backs. Moreover, Nesta might not play, so Materazzi the butcher will be exposed right away w/o any help. 3 minutes into the game, Zidane would beat him and knowing Materazzi, he would most likely go two feet into him in the box.
