Racing Club looks to play with a high press and verticality using a 3-4-3 formation. This lineup aims to win the ball high up the pitch and attack the opposition back line with speed. The team seeks to control games by squeezing the space in the middle and using wide players to stretch the defence.
G. Arias starts in goal to command the area. The defensive unit operates with a back three where S. Sosa acts as the central defender to win the header and provide strength. Di Cesare plays as the right centre-back to cover the wide areas, while G. Basso plays as the left centre-back to help play out from the back. This back three stays compact to protect the middle while allowing the wide players to push high.
The midfield uses a central pairing of J. Nardoni and R. Sánchez to control the center of the pitch. J. Nardoni works to press aggressively to win the ball high and breaks the line with his movement. R. Sánchez acts as a carrier to drive forward with the ball and connect the defensive and attacking lines. On the flanks, G. Martirena and G. Rojas act as wide midfielders who provide width and support the attack.
The attack features three players working in close combinations. A. Martínez operates as a pressing centre-forward to pin the last defender and hold up the ball. L. Vietto plays on the left as an inverted winger to cut inside and create chances. On the right, P. Dybala* plays as an inverted winger with a high level of technical skill and passing range. These three forwards work together to find the feet of the striker or knock it in behind the defence.
This formation provides Racing Club with significant tactical advantages. The team can create wide overloads when G. Martirena and G. Rojas push forward to support the wingers. Racing Club also benefits from the ability to press high in coordinated waves to force a long ball from the opposition. The presence of P. Dybala* and L. Vietto allows the team to play through the lines quickly once the ball is won.
This 3-4-3 lineup is built for teams that want to dominate through aggressive pressing and quick transitions. It is best suited for matches against opponents that play with a high line and leave space behind their defenders.
