A high press and heavy focus on verticality define this team and they use a 3-4-3 formation. This lineup aims to win the ball high up the pitch and quickly hit in behind on the transition to catch opponents out of position. The team seeks to control the game by squeezing the space in the opponent half and using the wide players to stretch the defence.

M. Rangel starts in goal to oversee the defensive unit. The back line operates as a back three consisting of Marllon in the center with João Lucas on the right and Iago B. on the left. Marllon acts as the central anchor to protect the zone while João Lucas and Iago B. provide cover to prevent runners from getting behind. They defend zonally to maintain compactness and can step up to press when the ball enters their zone.

The midfield works as a four man block that covers the entire width of the pitch. R. Rotondi plays as the right midfielder while Y. Pikachu occupies the left side to provide width. In the center, L. Picco and P. De Paula form a double pivot to control the middle. P. De Paula and L. Picco work to intercept passes and recycle possession to ensure the team maintains control. They connect the defensive line to the front three by playing through the lines when space opens up.

The attacking front line consists of three players designed to pin the last defender. Pedro Raúl acts as the central striker to lead the press from the front and find the feet of the striker when the team builds play. J. Lingard and Vitor Bueno operate as wide wingers to provide constant width. J. Lingard and Vitor Bueno can cut inside to create central overloads or stay wide to deliver crosses. This front three works in combinations to create runs in behind and isolate defenders in one on one situations.

This formation offers significant tactical advantages through its ability to press high in coordinated waves. The width provided by Y. Pikachu and R. Rotondi allows the team to create wide overloads from the flanks. Another strength is the numerical superiority in the attacking third which makes it difficult for opponents to defend the half spaces.

The team uses this 3-4-3 lineup to dominate matches through aggressive pressing and quick vertical attacks. This setup is best suited for facing opponents who try to build play slowly from the back.
