A high press and heavy verticality define this team, operating within a 4-3-3 formation. The lineup is built to win the ball high up the pitch and immediately threaten the opposition goal through rapid transitions. This style requires intense running and quick passing to catch defenders before they can get organized.

DI FRANCO sits between the posts to oversee the defensive unit. A flat back four provides the base, with PETRUCCI acting as an attacking full back on the right to push high up the flank. CALVANO operates on the left, ready to overlap or provide width. In the center, MARTINEZ and ROSSI act as the primary duo to hold the line, with MARTINEZ focusing on covering space while ROSSI works to intercept passes. The unit seeks to squeeze the space between the lines and maintain a high line to keep the team compact.

The midfield functions as a three-man unit with a focus on both control and aggression. TROVATO and MAURO work to control the center, with TROVATO often looking to carry the ball forward to break the lines. MAURO provides the necessary cover to shield the back four and recycle possession when under pressure. BOJANG plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, operating in the half-spaces to find pockets of space. BOJANG is tasked to press aggressively to win the ball high and connect the midfield to the front three.

In the final third, the team utilizes three attackers to stretch the defence. ARAMBURU acts as a pressing centre-forward, working to pin the last defender and create space for others. On the flanks, DIAW and HARDES act as inverted wingers who cut inside to threaten the box. This movement allows PETRUCCI and CALVANO to provide width from deep. The attack is built on quick combinations and the ability to hit in behind on the transition, often looking to isolate wide players in one on one situations.

This formation offers several tactical advantages for the side. The presence of BOJANG allows for numerical superiority in the attacking third, creating overloads against a standard midfield. By using inverted wingers like DIAW and HARDES, the team can quickly switch play to the overlapping full backs. This creates wide overloads that force the opposition to shift constantly, often leaving gaps in the middle for MAURO or TROVATO to exploit.

This 4-3-3 lineup relies on high energy and quick ball movement to dominate the game. It is best suited for facing opponents who play a high line or struggle to defend against rapid vertical transitions.
