Focusing on a high press and rapid verticality, this team operates with a 4-3-3 formation. The goal is to win the ball high up the pitch and strike quickly before the opponent can settle. This lineup is built to push the opposition back and use wide areas to stretch the defence.

Matheus acts as the last line of defence, playing behind a flat back four. Tarcísio and Diogo act as full backs, looking to push forward and provide width. In the center, Leonan and Lucas form the defensive pairing, where Leonan and Lucas must hold the line and cover for the advancing full backs. The defensive unit works to squeeze the space and force long balls that can be intercepted.

The midfield functions as a three man midfield with a carrier and an attacking ten. Bruno and Ricardo occupy the central roles, with Ricardo tasked to shield the defence and Bruno looking to carry the ball forward. Ravanelli plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, operating in the pockets to find the feet of the striker or arrive late into the box. This trio connects the defensive unit to the front line, recycling possession to move the team up the pitch.

Up front, the team uses three attackers across the front. Rodolfo plays as a pressing centre-forward, working to pin the last defender and create space for others. Baianinho and Felipe act as wide wingers who cut inside to create goal scoring opportunities. This setup creates many runs in behind and allows the team to attack in combinations, often looking to deliver early balls into the box or cut it back from the byline.

One major advantage is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, led by Rodolfo and Ravanelli. The team also creates wide overloads from the overlapping runs of Tarcísio and Diogo, which forces the opposition to defend deep. This creates a high intensity of play that can overwhelm opponents during transitions.

This 4-3-3 formation relies on high energy and quick transitions to dominate the game. It is best suited for matches against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
