Seeking to dominate through a high press and rapid verticality, the team operates with a 4-3-3 formation. This lineup aims to win the ball high up the pitch and use aggressive movements to catch the opposition out of position. By squeezing the space in the final third, the players aim to keep the game in the opponent's half through constant pressure.

WARNER sits between the posts to organize the defensive line. The team employs a flat back four that can shift into a high line to compress the pitch. SHAQUILLE and MYENTY act as the central defenders, with SHAQUILLE often stepping into midfield to disrupt play while MYENTY covers the space behind. RIDGECIANO and DION act as attacking full backs, pushing high to provide width and overlap the wingers. This unit works to defend zonally, ensuring the back four stays compact when the ball is moved to the flanks.

The midfield functions as a three-man midfield with a carrier to link the lines. RYAN and IMMANUEL occupy the central roles, with RYAN often dropping deep to collect the ball and IMMANUEL driving forward with the ball to break the line. DIEGO plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, finding pockets of space to receive on the half-turn and play through the lines. This trio works to recycle possession and ensure the team can transition from a mid-block into a direct attack.

In the final third, the team utilizes three attackers across the front to stretch the defence. FLORIAN and SHERALDO operate as inverted wingers who cut inside to create central overloads, leaving space for the full backs. GLEOFILO acts as a pressing centre-forward, looking to win the second ball and find the feet of the striker to link up with the advancing midfielders. The goal is to use quick combinations to isolate wide players in one on one situations or deliver early crosses into the box.

One major advantage is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, making it difficult for the opposition to build from the back. Another strength is the wide overloads created when RIDGECIANO and DION push forward to support the wingers. This creates numerical superiority in the attacking third and forces the opponent to defend a very large area of the pitch.

This 4-3-3 formation relies on high intensity and quick transitions to overwhelm the opponent. It is best suited for games against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
