Seeking to dominate possession through high pressing and quick transitions, this team operates in a 4-3-3. The lineup is built to control the center of the pitch and pin the opposition back. By using a high line and aggressive movement, the team looks to win the ball back high up the pitch to catch opponents off guard.

Dibba acts as the last line of defense, guarding the goal while looking to distribute play out from the back. A flat back four consists of Calvano at right back and Messina at left back, who both push high to support the attack. In the center, Martinez and Rossi form the defensive pairing, where Rossi provides cover while Martinez stays tight to mark the striker. The defensive unit works to keep a compact shape, squeezing the space between the lines to prevent through balls.

The midfield relies on a three-man midfield with a carrier and a creative presence. Mauro plays as a central midfielder who connects the defensive and attacking lines, while Trovato works to drive forward with the ball into the half spaces. Bojang acts as an attacking ten behind the striker, finding pockets of space to receive on the half-turn. This midfield group works to press in a mid-block, ensuring that the opposition cannot easily play through the center.

The attacking front line uses three attackers across the front to stretch the defence. Arquin operates as a pressing centre-forward, working to harass the opposition back line and find the feet of his teammates. On the flanks, Diaw and Hardes act as inverted wingers who cut inside to create central overloads. This movement creates space for Calvano and Messina to overlap the winger, allowing for many cutbacks from the byline or crosses delivered into the box.

One major tactical strength is the ability to create wide overloads from overlapping full backs, which forces the opposition to defend deep. The team also benefits from the ability to press high in coordinated waves, making it difficult for opponents to build play from their own goalkeeper. By utilizing the movement of Bojang between the lines, the team can often find numerical superiority in the final third.

This 4-3-3 formation relies on high intensity and quick ball movement to break down stubborn defences. It is best suited for games against teams that sit deep and defend in a low block.
