Levadeiakos Football Formation
Starting Lineup
Anacker · Liagas · Kornezos · Tsivelekidis (Balde) · Vichos · Pantea · Kosti · Sut (Symelidis) · Emmanouilidis (Bauza) · Urzi (Nikas) · Ozegovic (Cobnan)Levadeiakos seeks to dominate through a high press and quick transitions using a 3-4-3. This formation is built to overwhelm opponents in the final third by using wide players to stretch the defense and a central midfield to control the tempo of the game. The lineup focuses on winning the ball back high up the pitch to catch the opposition out of position.
Anacker plays behind a back three to secure the goal. Liagas operates as the left center back, while Tsivelekidis holds the right side. Kornezos sits in the middle of the defensive line to sweep behind the others and organize the unit. This defensive block stays compact to prevent passes through the center, forcing opponents to play wide where the wingers can help press.
The midfield functions with a three man midfield with a carrier and an attacking ten. Pantea sits in the single pivot role to shield the defense and recycle possession. Vichos and Kosti act as the central engines, with Vichos looking to drive forward with the ball while Kosti helps to connect the defensive and attacking lines. Sut plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, looking to find pockets of space and play through the lines to create chances.
Up front, Levadeiakos utilizes three attackers across the front to pin the last defender. Ozegovic acts as the central striker, tasked to hold up the ball and find the feet of his teammates. Urzi and Emmanouilidis operate as wide wingers who hug the touchline to provide width. These attackers press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition, creating opportunities to win the second ball and launch attacks in transition.
This lineup offers several tactical advantages. The team can create wide overloads when the midfield players shift to support the wingers. There is also a clear ability to press high in coordinated waves, as the front three and Sut can squeeze the space in the opposition half. This setup allows the team to quickly switch play to the wide areas to isolate opponents.
Levadeiakos uses this formation to dictate play through aggressive pressing and verticality. It is best suited for games against teams that try to play out from the back and leave space behind their midfield.
