On that score, he may be the very model for this new type of sweeper, but is he mobile enough? Pirlo is a 'deep lying playmaker' but doesn't defend enough to qualify. Most defensive midfielders destroy rather than create so they wouldn't do, either. Although Xabi Alonso might fit. How is Schweinsteiger at defending? He looks capable and definitely has all the other attributes. Maybe my initial reservations about him are misguided. Maybe he (and by extension Bayern) really do have something new to offer.
Changing the subject a bit, this might be of interest to anyone interested in the (mis)fortunes of Suarez and Liverpool
