A focus on defensive solidity and quick transitions defines this team as they operate in a 4-4-2. This formation is built to play a direct game that relies on winning the second ball and hitting opponents in behind when they commit too many bodies forward. The lineup aims to stay compact and force the opposition into wide areas where the team can trap them.

The goalkeeper, 5, acts as the last line of defense behind a flat back four. Malik (C) leads the defensive unit as the right center back, providing leadership and marking the opposition strikers. He works alongside 18 Harianto, who plays as the left center back to cover the space behind the defense. On the flanks, 2 operates as the right back to defend the wide area, while 4 holds the left side to maintain the defensive line. The unit works together to hold a compact shape and deny the turn to any attacking players.

In the middle of the pitch, the team uses a four man midfield to control the central areas. Awaludin plays as the right central midfielder to drive forward with the ball and connect the defense to the attack. Beside him, 13 Wawan operates as the left central midfielder to shield the defense and intercept passes. On the wings, 11 plays as the left midfielder to provide width, while 3 acts as the right midfielder to track back and help the defense. This block works to squeeze the space and prevent the opposition from playing through the lines.

The attacking unit consists of two forwards working in a partnership to stretch the defense. The left striker, 12, and the right striker, 9, stay close to each other to combine in tight spaces and play one-two combinations. They press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition back line. When the team wins the ball, the strikers look to run in behind or hold up the ball to allow the midfield to push up. This duo is designed to create runs in behind and isolate defenders in one on one situations.

One major tactical strength is the ability to maintain compactness when defending in a mid-block. By keeping the two banks of four close together, the team makes it difficult for opponents to find gaps between the lines. Another advantage is the speed of transition once the ball is won in the middle of the pitch. This allows the team to move the ball quickly to 12 and 9 to exploit spaces before the opposition can recover.

The 4-4-2 lineup is built for a disciplined defensive performance and quick counter attacking. This setup is best suited for matches against teams that dominate possession and leave space behind their defensive line.
