Racing Club looks to control games through a high press and verticality using a 3-4-3 formation. This lineup aims to squeeze the pitch and win the ball high up the pitch to catch opponents out of position. The system relies on quick transitions to move from a defensive block into an attacking threat in seconds.

G. Arias operates between the posts to organize the defensive unit. The back line features a back three where S. Sosa sits in the middle to command the area. García Basso plays as the left centre-back to cover space, while M. Di Cesare occupies the right centre-back spot to provide stability. This unit functions by staying compact and stepping up to support the midfield when the ball is moved forward.

The midfield utilizes a central pairing to control the center of the pitch. Almendra and J. Nardoni act as the central core, with Almendra using his passing range to move the ball forward. They work to shield the defense and win the second ball to keep play moving. On the flanks, G. Martirena and R. Rotondi act as wide midfielders who provide much needed width and help the full backs when the team must sit deep.

The attack is built around a high pressing front three. A. Martínez acts as the central striker to lead the line and find the feet of the striker during build up play. On the wings, J. Quintero and L. Vietto operate as wide attackers who look to cut inside and create chances. This front line works to pin the last defender and create space for late runs from the midfield.

Racing Club gains a significant advantage through wide overloads when the midfielders push up to support the wingers. This formation also allows for a coordinated press in waves, making it very difficult for the opposition to play out from the back. The presence of a strong central trio in midfield provides the ability to dominate the middle of the park.

This 3-4-3 lineup is designed for a team that wants to dominate possession and attack with intensity. It is best suited for games where the opponent plays with a high line and can be caught on the transition.
