A high press and rapid transitions define this lineup in a 3-5-2 formation. This team aims to win the ball high up the pitch and use quick vertical movements to catch opponents off guard. The goal is to squeeze the space in the middle and use a central heavy presence to dominate games.

DI PAOLA starts between the posts to command the area. The defensive unit works as a back three with ADAMO acting as the central anchor to hold the line. To his left, LAMPO operates as a wide centre-back to cover the flank, while LO BOSCO sits on the right to provide defensive solidity. This back three must remain compact to prevent long balls from breaking the line.

The midfield is a heavy engine room built to control the center of the pitch. CARONIA and PIPITONE form a double pivot to shield the defense and win the second ball. Ahead of them, TARANTINO and MUSSO act as two tens in the half-spaces to link the play. COLANTONI plays as an attacking ten behind the strikers to drive forward and find the feet of the attackers. This group works to compress the midfield and ensure they can recycle possession when needed.

In the final third, the team uses two forwards in a partnership to stretch the defense. BAH and NOTO work as a duo, with BAH leading the line as a pressing centre-forward to force the opposition back. The two attackers often combine in tight spaces to create runs in behind the defense. By using COLANTONI to drop between the lines, the front line can isolate defenders in one on one situations.

One major advantage is the numerical superiority in midfield, which allows the team to control the tempo of the game. The setup also allows for the ability to press high in coordinated waves, making it difficult for opponents to build out from the back. When the team wins the ball, the speed of transition is used to exploit gaps left by attacking opponents.

This 3-5-2 formation is built for aggressive, high intensity football. It is best suited for games against teams that play with a high line or struggle to manage pressure in the middle of the pitch.
