Indonesia aims to play a high press with a heavy emphasis on winning the ball high up the pitch. This 4-3-3 formation is built to transition quickly once possession is regained. The team seeks to stretch the defence by using wide players to create space for the central attackers.

Andritany starts in goal to command the area. The defensive lineup uses a staggered back four to cover the width of the pitch. Jordi Amat operates as the right back to provide stability, while Justin Hubner plays as the left back. In the middle, Jay Idzes and Chanatip form the central pair, with Jay Idzes acting as a ball playing defender to start attacks. They work together to hold the line and prevent runs in behind.

A three-man midfield manages the middle of the park. Tom Haye acts as the deep lying playmaker, looking to recycle possession and find teammates through the lines. Ivar Jener and Joeypelupesy operate as the two interior players. Joeypelupesy works to connect the defensive and attacking lines, while Ivar Jener looks to carry the ball forward. This group helps to compress the midfield and prevent opponents from playing through the center.

The attack uses three forwards to pressure the opposition back line. Yakub Sayuri and Cacing play as wide wingers, with Yakub Sayuri looking to cut inside and Cacing to pull wide. Boazsaloza acts as the lone striker to hold up the ball and find the feet of the midfielders. The front three press from the front to force a long ball from the opponent. This movement allows for quick combinations to hit the opposition on the transition.

Indonesia finds success through the speed of transition when they win it back high up the pitch. The ability to create wide overloads when the full backs push up provides extra passing options. They also use numerical superiority in midfield to control the tempo during certain phases of the game.

This 4-3-3 formation is a high energy system designed to dominate through pressing. It is best suited for matches where the team can exploit the space left by an attacking opponent.
