Нюланд / Альваро / Флорес · Кармона (Хуанлу) · ??? (Педроса) · Салас (Маркао) · Баде (Ньянзу / Рамон) · Лукебакио (Янузай) · Агуме (Гудель) · Соу (Хордан) · Варгас (Эджуке) · Пеке (Ромеро) · Адамс (Ихеаначо)Sevilla relies on a direct and high energy identity within a 4-4-2 formation. This lineup is built to win the second ball and move through the pitch with verticality. The team wants to use the wide areas to stretch the defence and create gaps in the middle. This formation focuses on quick transitions to catch the opposition before they can get organized and settled.
Нюланд / Альваро / Флорес stands between the posts to command the area. The defensive unit works in a flat back four to maintain a compact block. Кармона provides cover at right back while Баде and Салас act as the central defenders to win the header and clear the lines. The back line aims to hold a high line and drop into a low block when defending deep to deny the turn and protect the box.
The midfield works as a flat four with Агуме and Соу in the centre. Агуме and Соу act as the central pair to protect the defence and intercept passes. They need to recycle possession and play through the lines to find the forwards. Лукебакио on the right and Варгас on the left provide the width and help the full backs. These wide players must track back to help the full backs when the opposition attacks the flanks or tries to switch play.
Up front, the team uses two forwards in a partnership with Пеке and Адамс. Пеке and Адамс work to press from the front and pin the last defender. One striker might drop to link up play while the other looks to hit in behind on the transition. Лукебакио and Варгас can pull wide to deliver a cross or cut inside to join the attack. This creates many ways to break the line and reach the penalty area.
A major strength for Sevilla is the ability to press in a mid-block and win the second ball. Having Агуме and Соу in the middle allows for control in the centre of the pitch. The team also creates wide overloads when the wide players and full backs combine to stretch the opposition. The speed of transition with Пеке and Адамс makes them dangerous on the break and they can shift quickly to maintain their formation.
This 4-4-2 formation is built for directness and defensive solidity. It works best against opponents who leave space behind their defence or struggle to deal with wide service.
