A high press and vertical attacking style defines this team in a 4-3-3. This lineup aims to win the ball high up the pitch and quickly drive the play forward to catch the opponent out of position. The goal is to create chaos in the final third by using rapid transitions and aggressive movements to stretch the defense.

SENDIN starts in goal to organize the defensive line. The back four functions as a flat back four, with NOTO acting as the left back to provide width while SACCA' plays as the right back. DI MAGGIO and BONTEMPO form the central pairing, where DI MAGGIO works to cover the space behind the full backs while BONTEMPO looks to step up and intercept passes. This unit works to stay compact and move as one to deny the turn to opposition attackers.

The midfield operates with a three man midfield with a carrier and an attacking ten. SCOLARO and DE NADAL sit in the middle to shield the defense and recycle possession, with DE NADAL looking to drive forward with the ball to connect the lines. PONTINI plays as the attacking ten behind the striker, looking to find pockets of space between the lines and play through the lines with incisive passes. This trio ensures the team can progress through the thirds effectively.

In the final third, the team utilizes three attackers across the front. LO GIUDICE and BRUNO play as inverted wingers who cut inside to create goalscoring opportunities, while TRAVIGLIA acts as a pressing centre forward to lead the hunt from the front. The movement is designed to create runs in behind and pull wide defenders out of position. By having LO GIUDICE and BRUNO threaten the inside channels, the team can also create space for late runs into the box from the midfield.

This formation offers significant tactical advantages through its ability to press high in coordinated waves. By forcing the opponent to play long, the team can win the second ball and launch immediate attacks. Another strength is the ability to isolate wide players in one on one situations when the wingers combine with the full backs to create wide overloads.

The team relies on a high energy game to squeeze the space and dominate the ball. This 4-3-3 is best suited for matches against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
