Hapoel Ramat-Gan Football Formation

Starting Lineup

Raif (55) · Asanka (11) · Glazer (24) · Baranes (8) · Gonçalves (5) · Ibrahim (33) · Yavalo (2) · Itzhaki (17) · Plakushchenko (7) · Semel (10) · Luan (99)

Hapoel Ramat-Gan focuses on a high press and vertical movement through a 4-3-3. This formation is built to win the ball high up the pitch and attack quickly once the turnover occurs. The team looks to stretch the defence and create chaos in the final third by moving the ball forward with speed.

Raif stays between the posts to organize the defensive line. The back four functions as a zonal line where Gonçalves and Itzhaki act as the central defenders. Gonçalves handles the right side of the central pairing while Itzhaki covers the left to defend zonally. Yavalo operates as the right back to provide width, while Ibrahim plays as the left back. These defenders work together to maintain a high line and squeeze the space between the lines.

The midfield operates as a three man midfield with a carrier to drive the team forward. Glazer sits as the single pivot to shield the defence and pick up runners. Semel and Plakushchenko play as the two central midfielders who connect the defensive and attacking lines. Semel looks to carry the ball forward into the half spaces, while Plakushchenko helps to recycle possession and press in a mid-block. This trio ensures Hapoel Ramat-Gan can transition from a defensive block into an attacking phase.

A front three leads the attack with Baranes playing as a lone striker. Baranes works to find the feet of the striker and hold up the ball to bring others into play. On the flanks, Luan and Asanka act as wide wingers who hug the touchline to spread the width of the pitch. Luan stays wide on the right to isolate a one on one, while Asanka pushes up on the left. These attackers press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition.

This lineup offers the advantage of high pressing in coordinated waves to win it back high up the pitch. The team also benefits from the ability to create wide overloads when Yavalo and Ibrahim push up to support the wingers. Hapoel Ramat-Gan can quickly switch play to exploit the space left behind the opposition full backs.

The 4-3-3 formation provides a heavy attacking presence that relies on quick transitions. This setup is best suited for facing opponents who play a high defensive line and leave space behind.
