This team relies on a high press and rapid transitions using a 3-5-2 formation. The goal is to squeeze the space in the middle and win the ball high up the pitch to catch opponents before they can get organized. By using a narrow midfield, the team aims to control the center of the park and force the opposition to play wide where they can be trapped.

TOMASELLI O4 starts between the posts to manage the defensive line. The back three consists of STRANO acting as the central anchor, with BRUMAT on the right and LLAMA on the left. STRANO holds the line while BRUMAT and LLAMA act as wide centre-backs who can step up into midfield to create overloads. The unit functions by maintaining a compact block, with the defenders stepping up to trigger a press when the ball enters their zone.

A busy five man midfield drives the engine of this lineup. SANTORO and P.SANTAPAOLA 03 DX form a central pairing to shield the defence, with SANTORO looking to win the second ball and P.SANTAPAOLA 03 DX acting to recycle possession. MASCARA 02 SX operates as the left sided carrier to drive forward with the ball. On the flanks, KAMGA and G.SANTAPAOLA DX act as wide midfielders who provide width, push high to support the attack, and track back to help the back three.

The attacking unit uses two forwards in a partnership to stretch the defence. TORNITORE DX and LEONARDI 01 DX work together to press the opposition back line from the front. TORNITORE DX often looks to find the feet of the striker or play one-two combinations to break the line, while LEONARDI 01 DX makes runs in behind to exploit space. This duo uses link-up play between the lines to draw defenders out of position, creating space for the advancing midfielders.

This formation offers significant tactical advantages through its ability to press high in coordinated waves. The presence of five midfielders allows the team to create numerical superiority in the middle of the pitch, making it very hard for opponents to play through the lines. Additionally, the wide midfielders KAMGA and G.SANTAPAOLA DX can quickly switch play to isolate attackers in one on one situations on the flanks.

The 3-5-2 formation is built for aggressive, high intensity football that looks to dominate the central areas. It is best suited for games against teams that struggle to play out from the back under heavy pressure.
