Torino Football Formation

Starting Lineup

ISRAEL · HIEN · SCHUURS · DELLAVALLE · CACCIAMANI · PISILLI · ASLLANI · FLORIANI MUSSOLINI · LUONGO · VLASIC · DOVBYIK

Torino focuses on a direct and physical style of play through a 3-4-3 formation. This lineup is built to win second balls and use verticality to stretch the opposition. The team looks to press high and force turnovers in the middle third to feed their attackers quickly.

Israel sits between the defenders to sweep up long balls and start the build up. A back three consists of Hien, Schuurs, and Dellavalle who work to maintain a compact block. Hien and Dellavalle provide cover while Schuurs acts as a ball playing defender to break the lines with his passing. The wide players in the midfield unit must track back to help the central three when the team sits deep.

The midfield operates with a central pairing of Asllani and Pisilli who sit in front of the back three. Asllani and Pisilli work to intercept passes and control the tempo of the game. They connect the defense to the front line by recycling possession or playing vertical passes. On the flanks, Cacciamani and Floriani Mussolini act as wing backs to provide width and cover the entire length of the pitch.

Up front, Dovbyik acts as a lone striker to hold up the ball and battle against central defenders. He creates space for Luongo and Vlasic to cut inside from the wings. Luongo and Vlasic look to drift into the half spaces to create goal scoring chances. The forwards press in a coordinated way to prevent the opposition from playing out from the back.

Torino offers significant tactical advantages through their width and central presence. Cacciamani and Floriani Mussolini can create wide overloads by pushing high up the pitch to support the wingers. The team also benefits from a high press that uses the energy of Asllani and Pisilli to trap opponents. This creates opportunities to isolate Dovbyik in one on one situations against tired defenders.

This 3-4-3 formation relies on intense pressing and quick transitions to dominate games. It is best suited for matches against teams that struggle with high physical pressure and vertical passing.
