High pressing and rapid verticality define this team through a 4-3-3 formation. The lineup focuses on winning the ball high up the pitch and moving it quickly to the front line to exploit spaces before the opposition can settle. This system is built to play heavy, aggressive football that relies on constant movement and intense pressure.

GARISSONE sits between the posts to provide the first layer of the defense. The back four operates as a zonal line with JEAN-KÉVIN as an attacking full back on the right to push up the flank. On the left, FRANTZ provides width while maintaining a position to cover the defensive line. In the middle, RICARDO and KEVIN form a central pair tasked with holding the line and winning the second ball. RICARDO acts as a ball playing defender to initiate play, while KEVIN focuses on covering the space behind the high line.

The midfield works as a three-man midfield with a carrier and an attacking ten. STÉPHANE plays as the advanced ten behind the striker, looking to find pockets of space between the lines. CARL and LEVERTON operate as the central engines, with CARL often driving forward with the ball to link the play. LEVERTON stays slightly deeper to shield the defense and recycle possession. This trio works to squeeze the space in the middle, ensuring the team can transition from a mid-block to a high press immediately after losing possession.

In the attacking third, the team employs three attackers across the front. JEAN-EUDES acts as a pressing centre-forward, constantly bothering the opposition centre-backs to force a long ball. FAFÀ and KERVENS act as inverted wingers who cut inside to occupy the half-spaces, leaving the touchlines for the full backs to exploit. This movement creates chances to play through the lines or hit in behind on the transition. The forwards often work in combinations to pull the last defender out of position and create one on one situations.

This formation offers significant tactical advantages through the ability to press high in coordinated waves. By using the front three to trigger a press, the team can win it back high up the pitch. Another strength is the creation of wide overloads when JEAN-KÉVIN and FRANTZ overlap the wingers. This creates numerical superiority in wide areas, forcing the opposition to shift and leaving gaps in the center.

The team uses this 4-3-3 to dominate matches through relentless pressure and quick transitions. It is best suited for games against opponents who struggle to play out from the back under heavy pressure.
