Sposito (_) · Girgi · M’Vila · Grosso · Monticone · Galletti · Osuji · Constantino · Djorkaeff · Usai · Di Fino

Prioritizing a high press and rapid verticality, this team operates in a 3-4-3 formation. The lineup aims to win the ball high up the pitch and use aggressive movements to split the opposition defence. This style of play relies on constant pressure to force mistakes in the opponent's half.

Sposito acts as the goalkeeper, commanding the area from the back. The defensive unit sits in a back three with Monticone as the right centre-back and Galletti as the left centre-back. Grosso plays as the central defender to hold the line and organize the group. These three defenders work as a narrow defensive block to protect the middle of the pitch. They look to win the second ball and clear the lines when the opposition attempts to build play.

The midfield relies on a central pairing consisting of M’Vila and Osuji to control the center. M’Vila works to shield the defence and intercept passes, while Osuji drives forward with the ball to link the lines. To provide width, Di Fino and Girgi occupy the wide areas as midfielders who are tasked with covering the flanks. They must track back to help the back three when defending but are expected to push up to support the attack. This group helps to compress the midfield and recycle possession effectively.

The attacking front line features three players tasked with stretching the defence. Constantino plays as a lone striker and acts as a focal point to hold up the ball. On the wings, Djorkaeff and Usai act as wide wingers who look to cut inside or take on defenders. These three press from the front to trigger a press against the opposition back line. The formation is designed to create runs in behind and allow the wingers to isolate one on one situations against full backs.

One major advantage of this formation is the ability to press high in coordinated waves using the front three and the wide midfielders. By squeezing the space, the team can win it back high up the pitch and catch opponents out of position. Another strength is the tactical flexibility to use Di Fino and Girgi to create wide overloads when they push forward to overlap the attackers. This creates constant pressure on the flanks and forces the opposition to pull players out of position.

This 3-4-3 lineup is built for high intensity and direct attacking play. It is best suited for matches against teams that play a high defensive line and struggle to deal with rapid transitions.
