Flamini should start after his performance last week, that being said... I could see Carlo benching him
I think at this point, with Janku's current form I'd prefer Zambro on the left, Flamini on the right and Ambro in midfield.
Janku was our weak link in defence in that friendly, and when you have Senderos, a Brazilian RB, and a Brazilian CB that has played only a handful of times in a long time span, that's saying something.
Regarding the midfield and attack. I'm personally not convinced that will be it.
Pippo is in great form, any sane person would leave him in that starting line-up. Although having said that, we all know that Pippo in this type of form can come on at any point in a match and score. To him it's not about adapting to the rythem of a match since he's all about instinct. The only reason I'm making this point is because Dinho and Kaka are looking better with every match they play. Sheva also looked good in the friendly. And then there is the Beckham Seedorf issue, one is Carlo'l favourite and should he play better because of the sudden competition for his place he is not someone that can be overlooked. But with Becks playing so well... him and Pippo are a dinamic duo when it comes to assists and finishing off those assists. So if you have Pippo on that pitch Beckham has to start.
For me the ideal formation throughout the match would preferably be
Flamini--Maldini--Favalli--Zambro
Becks--Pirlo--Ambro
Kaka/Dinho
Pato--Pippo
At some point early in the second half 2 subs to come on being
Flamini--Maldini--Favalli--Zambro
Ambro--Pirlo--Seedorf
Kaka--Dinho
Pato
