A high press and rapid transition game defines this lineup in a 4-3-3. The team aims to win the ball high up the pitch and use quick vertical passes to punish the opposition. This formation works to stretch the defence by using wide attackers to create space for others to run into.

סילבה operates between the posts to start the build up. The defensive unit sits in a flat back four with הרוש acting as a right back to provide width. סטויץ and מורוזוב form the central pairing to defend the box and win the header when the ball is crossed. לופז plays as the left back to help with the build up and track back when the team loses possession. The back line stays compact to ensure they do not get caught out by long balls.

The midfield functions as a three man midfield with a carrier and two players working to connect the lines. סבע plays as an attacking ten behind the striker to find pockets of space. קנגווה and פרץ sit deeper to shield the defence and recycle possession when the play slows down. קנגווה works to drive forward with the ball to break the line, while פרץ helps to pick up runners and press in a mid-block. These three players are vital to move the ball from the defenders to the front line.

In the attacking phase, the team uses three attackers across the front. מלמד acts as a pressing centre-forward to lead the line and hold up the ball for others. שועה and פטאצ'י play as inverted wingers who cut inside to create goal scoring chances. This movement forces the opposition to defend centrally, which allows the full backs to overlap the winger and provide crosses. The attack relies on the link up play between the lines to find מלמד in tight spaces.

One major advantage is the ability to press high in coordinated waves to force a long ball from the opponent. The team also finds success through the speed of transition when שועה and פטאצ'י sprint into the channels. By using the inverted wingers, the formation creates wide overloads that are difficult to mark.

This 4-3-3 formation is built for a team that wants to dominate through aggressive pressing and quick counter attacks. It is best suited for games against opponents who struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
