ES Tunis aims to dominate the ball and control the tempo through a high press and a vertical attacking style. This 4-3-3 formation is built to squeeze the pitch and win the ball back high up the pitch to catch the opposition out of position. By keeping the lines tight, the lineup seeks to create constant pressure in the final third.

Ben Said guards the goal as the last line of defense. The back four functions as a flat defensive line where Ben Mohamed acts as the left back to provide width, while Ben Hmida operates as the right back to overlap and support the attack. In the center, Meriah and Tougai work together as the central defenders, with Meriah often stepping up to intercept passes and Tougai providing cover. The unit holds a high line to compress the space between the defense and the midfield.

A three man midfield controls the center of the pitch. Teka and Aholou operate as the central midfielders, with Teka driving forward with the ball to link the play. Wael plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, looking to find pockets of space between the lines. This midfield unit works to recycle possession and ensure the team can transition quickly from defense to attack. Wael often makes late runs into the box to add another threat.

The attack features three players across the front to stretch the defense. Belaili plays as an inverted winger on the left, cutting inside to create goal scoring chances, while Sasse occupies the right wing to provide width. Rodrigues operates as the lone striker, tasked to hold up the ball and play with his back to goal to bring the wingers into the game. The front three press from the front, forcing the opposition to play long balls and attempting to win the second ball in advanced areas.

ES Tunis utilizes several tactical advantages with this lineup. The team creates wide overloads when Ben Mohamed and Ben Hmida push high, forcing the opposition wingers to track back. There is also a strong ability to press high in coordinated waves, using the front three and Wael to trigger a press. This allows the team to win the ball back in dangerous positions and exploit disorganized defenses.

This 4-3-3 formation relies on high energy and aggressive pressing to dominate games. It is best suited for matches against teams that struggle to play out from the back under intense pressure.
