A heavy focus on direct attacking and verticality defines this team as they operate in a 4-2-4. This formation is built to punish opponents through quick transitions and high pressure in the final third. By committing many bodies forward, the lineup looks to overwhelm the opposition defense and create constant chaos in the penalty area.

Dandjinou stays between the posts to command the area during defensive phases. The back line functions as a flat back four, with T. Ouorou acting as a right back to provide width and Roche operating as a left back. In the center, Verdon and Tijani must hold the line and defend zonally to prevent through balls. They need to be ready to step up to set the offside trap or drop deep to cover long balls played over the top.

The midfield relies on a double pivot to manage the center of the pitch. D´Almeida and Imourane sit in front of the defense to shield the back four and win the second ball. D´Almeida works to drive forward with the ball to progress through the thirds, while Imourane focuses on intercepting passes and recycling possession. This pair serves as the vital link, connecting the defensive unit to the aggressive front line.

The attacking front line uses two forwards in a partnership alongside two wide wingers. Dokou Dodo and Mounié act as the central strikers, with Mounié often acting as a target man to hold up the ball and Dokou Dodo looking to run in behind. Tosin and Olaitan play as wide wingers who stay high to stretch the defence. These attackers are expected to press from the front to force a long ball and look to isolate wide players in one on one situations.

This lineup offers significant speed of transition when the ball is won in the middle third. By having four dedicated attackers, the team creates immediate numerical superiority in the final third. The ability to hit in behind on the transition makes this a very dangerous side when playing against a high defensive line.

This 4-2-4 setup is designed for high intensity games where the goal is to outscore the opponent. It is best suited for situations where the team needs to break down a low block through sheer numbers in the box.
