Focusing on a high press and rapid transitions, this team operates with a 2-5-3 formation. The lineup is built to squeeze the pitch and overwhelm the opposition in their own half. By committing many players forward, the team seeks to win the ball back high up the pitch and strike before the opponent can recover their positions.

Cirnigliaro acts as the lone goalkeeper behind a very high defensive line. The back two of Llama and Brumat must stay compact to avoid being caught by long balls. These central defenders are tasked with covering vast amounts of space and winning the second ball when the initial press fails. Because there are only two defenders, Llama and Brumat must be ready to step up and intercept passes to prevent direct attacks.

The midfield is heavily populated to dominate the center and create numerical superiority. Strano sits in the middle to protect the two center backs and shield the defense. On either side, Mastronicola and Caltabiano work to control the tempo and link the defense to the attack. The wide midfielders, Le Mura and Kamga, push high into the half spaces to stretch the defense. This five man midfield allows the team to control the ball and recycle possession quickly in tight spaces.

In the final third, the team uses three attackers to pin the last defender. Tornitore 99 DX acts as the main striker to find the feet of the midfielders and lead the press from the front. G Santapaola and Limina operate as wide attackers, with G Santapaola cutting inside from the left and Limina looking to get to the byline on the right. These three forwards work to create runs in behind and deliver crosses into the box for the striker.

This formation offers significant tactical advantages through its ability to press high in coordinated waves. The heavy presence in the middle means the team can often win it back high up the pitch and immediately launch an attack. Another strength is the ability to isolate wide players in one on one situations when the wingers Le Mura and Kamga pull the opposition defenders out of position.

This 2-5-3 lineup relies on extreme aggression and high energy to disrupt the opponent. It is best suited for matches where the team can exploit a slow transition or a disorganized defensive line.
