A high press and aggressive verticality define this lineup using a 4-3-3 formation. This team aims to win it back high up the pitch and quickly transition to catch the opposition out of position. The focus is on squeezing the space and using width to stretch the defence across the pitch.

SENDIN sits between the posts to start the build up. The defensive unit functions as a flat back four where SACCA' operates as an attacking full back on the right to provide width. On the left, PARISI holds the line to ensure the team stays compact. BONTEMPO and DI MAGGIO form the central pairing, with BONTEMPO acting as the ball playing defender to progress through the thirds while DI MAGGIO focuses on defending zonally and winning the second ball.

The midfield operates as a three-man midfield with a carrier and an attacking ten. DE NADAL works to shield the defence and disrupt play in the middle. SCOLARO connects the defensive and attacking lines by carrying the ball forward into the half spaces. PONTINI plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, looking to find the feet of the striker or arrive late into the box to support the attack. This trio works to compress the midfield and deny the turn of opposing players.

In the final third, the team utilizes three attackers across the front. LO GIUDICE plays as an inverted winger on the left, cutting inside to create space for PARISI to overlap. On the opposite flank, BRUNO stays wide to stretch the defence and deliver crosses. FERRE' acts as the central presence, tasked to hold up the ball and pin the last defender. The forwards press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition.

This formation offers significant tactical advantages through its ability to press high in coordinated waves. The team can create wide overloads when SACCA' and BRUNO combine on the right. Additionally, the presence of PONTINI behind FERRE' allows the team to find players in tight spaces and create numerical superiority in the attacking third.

The 4-3-3 lineup focuses on intense pressing and rapid transitions to overwhelm the opponent. This system is best suited for games against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
