Focusing on a high press and verticality, this team operates in a 3-4-3 formation. The lineup is built to win the ball high up the pitch and move the play forward quickly to exploit gaps in the opposition defense. This identity relies on heavy physical presence and technical ability to break lines through direct passing and rapid transitions.

Mamardashvilli acts as the last line of defense in goal. The back three consists of Guehi, Konate, and C. Bradley. Guehi provides stability on the left side of the central unit, while Konate uses his physical strength and recovery speed to cover space behind the line. C. Bradley occupies the right side of the defensive block, often looking to carry the ball forward to support the midfield. The unit functions by maintaining a high line to squeeze the space between the defense and the midfield, relying on Konate to sweep behind when the opposition tries to play long balls.

The midfield operates as a four man unit that connects the defense to the attack. Mac Allister and R. Gravenberch form a central pairing where Mac Allister looks to receive on the half turn and distribute, while Gravenberch uses his ball carrying ability to drive the team forward. On the flanks, C. Lukeba and Szoboszlai provide width and high intensity. C. Lukeba works as a wide midfielder to press opponents, while Szoboszlai uses his passing range to switch play. This group works to win the second ball and ensure the team can recycle possession effectively.

In the attacking third, the team uses three attackers to stretch the defense. A. Isak leads the line as a central striker who can hold up the ball and find the feet of his teammates. K. Yildiz plays as an inverted winger on the left, cutting inside to create goalscoring chances, while F. Wirtz operates on the right to find pockets of space between the lines. This front three is designed to press the opposition back line aggressively, creating opportunities for runs in behind or cutbacks from the wide areas.

One major advantage for this team is the ability to press in coordinated waves, with the front three and midfield unit working together to trigger a press high up the pitch. Another strength is the width provided by C. Lukeba and Szoboszlai, which can create wide overloads when they push up to join the attack. This allows the team to isolate wide players in one on one situations against full backs.

This 3-4-3 lineup is designed for a high intensity game that prioritizes quick transitions. It is best suited for facing teams that play a high line or struggle to manage pressure in their own half.
