Looking at the appearances over the season it would be more like:

                 Antonioli
    Zago(28) Samuel(31) Zebina(22)
Cafu(31) Zanetti(27) Tommasi(34) Candela(33)
                 Totti(30)
       Delvecchio(31) Batistuta/Montella(28)

Definitely played with wingbacks, probably the best two in the business at
that time.
