extremely tite but i think yossi scrapes it by 1%

[Yossi]

I think my team would win because:
-I have a better goalkeeper. van der Sar is consistently good, whereas Rustu is past his best. Remember his performances for Barcelona last season?
-King and Upson are both big and strong in the air and can cut out all the high balls, plus they are both quick and can reach through balls before Sav's strikers, especially with the extra yard or two head start.
-The only protection for Sav's defence is Costinha, in the centre, and my main attacking threat is down the wings with Maxi and Vicente.
-Panucci is getting on and will not cope with Vicente's pace.
-My three midfielders are can defend well. Two of the can cope with old man Costa comfortably.
-The other one can go forward and attack on the break and can create or score. All three of them are perfectly balanced so any one of them can do this.
-Forlan can easily beat Costacurta for pace. He is young, quick and mobile whereas Costacurta is approaching 40.
-I can score goals from all over the pitch. Forlan has scored 23 league goals this season, Maxi has around 13, and Vicente scored 6 in 9 at the beginning of the season before injury stopped him. Baraja was Valencia's top scorer from midfield when they won the league in 2002, King and Upson can score from set-pieces, and Sergio Ramos can strike a ball well, just ask Real Madrid.
-My team is younger. I haven't bothered to work out the ages of everyone, but you can tell by looking. Sav's team will tire towards the end.
