A high pressing and attacking intent defines this team, utilizing a 4-3-3 formation. The lineup is built to control games through aggressive ball recovery and rapid offensive movements. Every player works to squeeze the space in the middle of the pitch to win the ball back high up the pitch, allowing for quick transitions toward the opposition goal.

PREUD’HOMME acts as the last line of defense behind a flat back four. McGRAIN operates as the right back, looking to overlap the winger, while HAPGOOD provides support from the left. In the center, NASAZZI plays as the right centre back to provide cover, while PASSARELLA sits as the left centre back to lead the defensive line. This defensive unit focuses on holding a compact shape and making sure the distance between the lines stays small.

The midfield operates as a three man midfield with a carrier and an advanced attacking ten. MONTI works to shield the defence and sit deep to recover possession, while FALCÃO drives forward with the ball to connect the lines. ZICO plays as the attacking ten behind the striker, looking to play through the lines and create chances. This group works to recycle possession and ensure the team can progress through the thirds with confidence.

The attack features three attackers across the front to stretch the defence. ROBBEN plays as an inverted winger on the right who likes to cut inside on his left foot, while RONALDINHO operates on the left as an inverted winger with his signature dribbling style. VAN BASTEN acts as the lone striker, playing to find the feet of the striker and hold up the ball for others. These players work together to make runs in behind and create situations to isolate a one on one wide.

This formation provides several tactical advantages. The team can create wide overloads when the full backs push up to support the wingers. There is also an ability to press high in coordinated waves, using the front three to trigger a press. This allows the team to win the second ball frequently and keep the opponent pinned in their own half.

The team uses a high pressing 4-3-3 to dominate territory and create scoring chances. This lineup is best suited for matches against opponents who struggle to play out from the back or who leave space behind their midfield.
