Racing Club looks to dominate games through high pressing and verticality in a 3-4-3 formation. This lineup is built to win the ball high up the pitch and move quickly toward the opposition goal. The tactical identity relies on aggressive movements to stretch the defence and create chances in the final third.
F. Cambeses guards the goal while the back three provides a solid foundation. M. Rojo acts as a ball playing defender on the left, while S. Sosa holds the center. M. Di Cesare operates as the right centre back to cover the space. This unit works to win the second ball and can step up to squeeze the space as a high line.
The midfield functions as a central engine with a four man unit. Almendra and J. Nardoni occupy the central spaces to control the tempo and win it back high up the pitch. Almendra provides a presence to break the line with his passing, while J. Nardoni works to protect the back three. On the flanks, Martirena and G. Rojas act as wide midfielders who push high to provide width.
Racing Club attacks with three players across the front line. M. MartÃnez acts as the central striker to hold up the ball and pin the last defender. L. Vietto plays as an inverted winger on the left to cut inside and create numbers in the middle. M. Ojeda operates on the right to stretch the defence. This front line is designed to create runs in behind and allow Martirena and G. Rojas to overlap the winger.
A major strength of this formation is the ability to press high in coordinated waves to force a long ball from the opposition. Racing Club also benefits from wide overloads when the wingers and wide midfielders combine to isolate a one on one wide. This creates significant pressure on the opposing full backs.
This 3-4-3 formation relies on intense pressing and quick transitions to break down opponents. It is best suited for games where the team needs to dominate possession and exploit space behind a high defensive line.
