Bourdim (4) · Barka (4) · Abada (12) · Brahimi (3) · Muhitsiwa (6) · Boussaid (8) · Haddouche (17) · Debbari (26) · Agbagno (7) · Medjadel (16) · Alili (27)

A high pressing and vertical style of play defines the lineup for ASO Chlef in a 4-3-3. This team seeks to win the ball high up the pitch and attack the opposition defense quickly. The goal is to use intensity to disrupt the opponent and move the ball forward through the lines as soon as they regain control.

Medjadel serves as the goalkeeper to manage the defensive line. The defense uses a flat back four where Barka and Abada act as the two central defenders. Barka and Abada focus on defending zonally and holding the line to keep the unit compact. On the sides, Brahimi and Debbari play as the full backs. Brahimi and Debbari must track back to cover the wide areas and assist the center backs to win the second ball if the opponent plays long.

The midfield consists of a three man unit with Bourdim playing as an attacking ten behind the striker. Muhitsiwa and Boussaid occupy the central roles to connect the defense to the attack. Muhitsiwa works to shield the defense and intercept passes, while Boussaid is tasked to carry the ball forward and drive into the half spaces. This group works together to press in a mid-block and squeeze the space to deny the opponent time on the ball.

The attacking phase relies on three players across the front. Agbagno operates as a lone striker who works to hold up the ball and pin the last defender. Haddouche and Alili act as wingers to provide width and stretch the defense. These attackers often cut inside to find space, creating opportunities for the full backs to overlap. The front three press from the front to force a long ball and look to hit in behind on the transition.

One major strength is the ability to press high in coordinated waves to win the ball back high up the pitch. The ASO Chlef side also benefits from wide overloads when the wingers pull wide and the full backs push up. Additionally, the presence of Bourdim allows the side to find numerical superiority in midfield to play through the lines and split the defense with a through ball.

This 4-3-3 formation for ASO Chlef is designed for high intensity and rapid attacking movements. It is most effective when facing teams that attempt to play short from the back against a heavy press.
