Torino looks to overwhelm opponents with high pressure and verticality through a 3-3-4 formation. This lineup aims to pin the opposition back in their own half by using heavy numbers in the final third. The team relies on quick transitions to catch defenders off guard as they push forward.

Paleari acts as the last line of defense in goal. Behind the midfield, a back three consists of Maripan in the center with Tameze on the right and Ismajli on the left. Maripan holds the line while Tameze and Ismajli cover the spaces behind the midfield. This defensive unit stays compact to prevent through balls while waiting to step up and intercept passes.

The midfield operates as a single pivot with Asllani sitting deep to shield the back three. Vlasic and Casadei 60% work as two central midfielders who connect the defense to the attack. Vlasic drives the ball forward to break the line while Casadei 60% provides support in the middle. This trio keeps the ball moving quickly to find gaps in the opponent's middle block.

The attacking front line is very aggressive with four players pushing high. Lazaro and Pedersen operate as wide wingers to stretch the pitch and provide crosses. In the center, Zapata and Adams play as two forwards to pin the opposing center backs. Zapata holds up the ball to bring others into play while Adams makes runs into the box to finish chances.

One major advantage for Torino is the ability to press high in coordinated waves with four attackers. This pressure forces mistakes near the opponent's goal. The formation also creates wide overloads when Lazaro and Pedersen push up against full backs. This makes it hard for the opposition to track every runner during a transition.

This 3-3-4 formation is built for teams that want to dominate through direct attacking. It is best used when facing an opponent that sits deep and struggles to deal with heavy numbers in the box.
