A high press and heavy attacking intent define this team as they operate in a 3-4-3. The lineup is built to win the ball high up the pitch and immediately hunt for chances in the final third. By using a wide front three, the team aims to stretch the defence and create chaos in the opponent's defensive line through rapid transitions.

Arnau Calas plays between the posts to organize the back line. The defensive unit sits in a back three consisting of Pablo Nadal, Óscar Gómez, and Rodrigo Salvador. Pablo Nadal acts as the right centre-back to cover the wide area, while Rodrigo Salvador provides cover on the left. Óscar Gómez sits in the middle to command the area and win the header. This back three functions to hold a high line, allowing the team to squeeze the space in the middle of the pitch.

The midfield works as a flat four to control the central areas and provide width. Aleix Ferrer and Darius Catanus act as a double pivot to shield the back three and recycle possession. They focus on winning the second ball and breaking the line with vertical passes. In the half-spaces, Óscar Albiol and Marcos Romera operate as attacking midfielders. Óscar Albiol and Marcos Romera are tasked to carry the ball forward and find the feet of the forwards, connecting the defensive block to the attacking unit.

The attacking front line consists of three players looking to exploit space. Javier Esteve and Joan Gómez act as wide wingers who look to cut inside and create numbers in the box. Daniel Gómez leads the line as a lone striker to pin the last defender and hold up the ball for others. This front three is designed to press from the front, forcing a long ball from the opposition. When the team moves into the final third, the wingers pull wide to isolate one on one situations against full backs.

This formation offers significant advantages through its ability to press high in coordinated waves. The double pivot of Aleix Ferrer and Darius Catanus provides compactness when defending the central zone. Furthermore, the wide presence of Javier Esteve and Joan Gómez creates wide overloads when they combine with the midfield runners.

This 3-4-3 lineup focuses on aggressive pressing and rapid attacking transitions. It is best suited for games against teams that struggle to play out from the back or possess slow defenders.
