Chrudim Football Formation
Starting Lineup
Adam Richter (6,75) · Jan Shejbal (7,39) · Patrik Schön (7,23) · Marek Kejř (7,11) · David Jambor (6,97) · Michal Skwarczek (6,93) · David Huf (6,89) · Adam Čičovský (6,81) · Matěj Hýbl (6,77) · Jan Kozojed (6,70) · Martin Toml (6,71)Chrudim looks to dominate through a high press and quick verticality using a 3-4-3. This lineup is built to squeeze opponents in their own half and transition rapidly once the ball is won. The goal is to use the wide areas to stretch the opposition before cutting inside to attack the central zones.
Adam Richter stays between the posts to organize the defensive line. The back three consists of Jan Shejbal on the left, Michal Skwarczek in the middle, and Martin Toml on the right. Jan Shejbal acts as a ball playing defender to start attacks, while Michal Skwarczek uses his positioning to intercept passes. Martin Toml provides cover and physical presence when defending crosses. This defensive unit works to maintain a high line to keep the team compact.
In the middle of the pitch, Chrudim uses a central pairing of Marek Kejř and David Jambor to control the game. These two act as a double pivot to shield the back three and break the lines with vertical passes. They connect the defense to the attacking unit. Matěj Hýbl and Jan Kozojed occupy the wide midfield roles, providing the necessary width. They must track back to support the defense but also push up to overlap the attackers.
The attacking unit relies on three players to pin the opposition back. David Huf plays as a lone striker to hold up the ball and bring others into play. Adam Čičovský operates from the left wing, looking to cut inside and create chances, while Patrik Schön provides width from the right. This front three is tasked with pressing the opposition defenders immediately to force turnovers high up the pitch.
One major strength is the ability to create wide overloads when Matěj Hýbl and Jan Kozojed push forward alongside the wingers. The team can also win battles in the central zone through the work of Marek Kejř and David Jambor. Another advantage is the speed of transition that allows David Huf to exploit space between the opponent's center backs.
This 3-4-3 formation is designed for a team that wants to control the tempo through pressing and wide play. It is best suited for matches against opponents who struggle to play out from a high press.
