Prioritizing a high press and rapid verticality, this team operates in a 4-3-3 formation. The intent is to win the ball high up the pitch and hit in behind on the transition to exploit space. This lineup focuses on heavy pressure and quick movement to stretch the defence of the opponent.

Emiliano DiVu acts as the last line of defense behind a flat back four. Marc plays as the left back to provide width, while Pedro operates as the right back to cover the flank. In the center, Christensen and Pav form the defensive unit, with Christensen acting as a ball playing defender to help play out from the back. Christensen is known for his composure and positional awareness, while Pav provides the necessary strength to win the second ball. The back line maintains a high line to squeeze the space between the units.

The midfield functions as a three-man midfield with a carrier and a creative hub. Enzo works to shield the defence and recycle possession in deep areas. Michael acts as a carrier to drive forward with the ball and connect the defensive and attacking lines. Ahead of them, Jude plays as an attacking ten, looking to arrive late into the box and find pockets of space. Jude is renowned for his ball carrying, passing range, and ability to press aggressively. This trio ensures the team can transition from a mid-block into a heavy attacking phase.

The attacking unit utilizes three attackers across the front to pin the last defender. Kylian operates as an inverted winger on the left, looking to cut inside and create chances. Lionel plays on the right as an inverted winger, known for his exceptional dribbling and vision, aiming to create space for others. Erling acts as a pressing centre-forward to lead the line and find the feet of the striker. The goal is to use the wingers to spread wide and then deliver early crosses or cutbacks to Erling.

One major advantage of this formation is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, led by Erling and the wide players. This creates immediate pressure on the opposition goalkeeper and defenders. Another strength is the numerical superiority in the attacking third when Jude pushes up to join the front three. This creates chaos in the central areas and forces the opposition to commit extra defenders.

This 4-3-3 formation is built for a high intensity, pressing game that looks to break quickly. It is best suited for matches against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
