Monza operates with a 3-4-3 formation that relies on a high press and quick transitions to unsettle opponents. This lineup is built to play a vertical game, looking to win the ball in the middle third and move it forward as fast as possible to catch the opposition out of position.

D. Thiam stays between the posts to command the area and organize the back three. F. Delli Carri sits in the center of the defense to provide cover and hold the line. L. Ravanelli and A. Carboni play as the wider center backs, tasked with stepping up to intercept passes or tracking runners in the half spaces. The defensive unit must remain compact to prevent gaps from opening when the wide players push forward.

The midfield is built around a central pair of P. Obiang and M. Pessina who work to control the center of the pitch. P. Obiang sits deeper to shield the defense and break up play, while M. Pessina drives forward to link the defense to the attack with his passing range. On the flanks, P. Ciurria and S. Birindelli act as wide midfielders, providing width and tracking back to support the back three when the team loses possession.

The attacking unit uses three players to stretch the opposition defense. P. Cutrone leads the line as a lone striker to hold up the ball and occupy the central defenders. K. Baldé and A. Colpani operate as wide attackers, with K. Baldé looking to cut inside and A. Colpani using his dribbling style to create chances from the right flank. These forwards press hard from the front to force turnovers in the final third.

Monza gains a tactical advantage through the ability to create wide overloads when the midfielders and attackers shift side. The team can also use the speed of transition to exploit space behind high defensive lines. By using three attackers, the formation forces the opposition center backs to stay deep, which creates more room for the central midfielders to operate.

This 3-4-3 formation is a high intensity lineup that prioritizes direct attacking play. It is best suited for matches against teams that play a high defensive line or struggle with quick vertical movements.
