M. Pérez · V. Díaz-Muñoz · S. Romo · A. Acevedo · I. Morales · I. Aránguiz · D. González · J. Riquelme · N. Urra · M. Gajardo · M. Gálvez

Belgrano focuses on a direct and high pressing style of football through a 4-3-3 formation. This lineup is built to win the ball back quickly in the opponent territory and push forward with speed. The team looks to control the tempo through central control while using the width of the pitch to stretch the opposition defense.

M. Pérez stays between the posts to command the area. In front of him, the back four functions as a disciplined unit. S. Romo and A. Acevedo act as the central defenders, with S. Romo providing coverage while A. Acevedo remains strong in the air. The full backs, V. Díaz-Muñoz and I. Morales, are tasked with pushing up the flanks to support the attack. When the team loses the ball, these wide defenders must track back quickly to maintain a compact block.

The midfield operates with a single pivot to protect the center of the pitch. J. Riquelme sits in the deepest role to shield the defense and break the lines with his passing. Beside him, D. González and I. Aránguiz work to drive the play forward. D. González often moves into space to connect the defensive unit with the attack, while I. Aránguiz helps to control the rhythm and press opponents in the middle third. This trio ensures the team remains balanced during transitions.

Attacking play is driven by a front three that stays high up the pitch. M. Gajardo acts as the lone striker, tasked to hold up the ball and allow others to join the run. On the wings, N. Urra and M. Gálvez provide the width. N. Urra looks to cut inside from the left to create shooting opportunities, while M. Gálvez stays wide to cross the ball or beat his marker. The forwards press in waves to force mistakes from the opposition back line.

Belgrano gains a significant advantage through the ability to press high in coordinated waves. This creates pressure that often leads to turnovers in dangerous areas. Another strength lies in the wide overloads created when I. Morales and V. Díaz-Muñoz overlap the wingers. This forces the opposing full backs to make difficult decisions between marking the wide players or tracking the runs of the advancing defenders.

The 4-3-3 formation allows Belgrano to maintain a high intensity through pressing and quick transitions. This setup is best suited for games against opponents who struggle to play out from the back under heavy pressure.
