Well, Brocchi isn't exactly a defender, but before Milan signed
Bonera, Ancelotti has talked about converting him into a rightback as
Cafu's backup, since he has been a right-sided midfielder who can run
up and down the right sideline all day long, can tackle and can put
in crosses. Serginho can't play on the right side; and with a
converted right-winger as a rightback, a make-shift central defense,
I suspect Jankulovski, who is considered a better defensive player
than the attack-minded Serginho, is preferred in the leftback slot.

Of course the "probable" line-up is just speculation (it was the
defensive line-up in last week's friendly against a serie C team, I
think). We'll know by game time, but the choices are slim.
