Starting Lineup

IVÁN (ARBOLEDA) · JUAN MANUEL (CABRERA) · LUCAS (SUÁREZ) · ULISES (GIMÉNEZ) · GABRIEL (DÍAZ) · MANUEL (GARCÍA) · ELIÁN (GIMÉNEZ) · OSMAR (GIMÉNEZ) · JULIÁN (CONTRERA) · JHON (RENTERÍA) · JONATHAN (HERRERA)

Sarmiento (Junín) relies on a high press and quick transitions using a 4-3-3. This formation is built to win the ball high up the pitch and move the play forward with speed. The team aims to squeeze the space in the opponent's half to force turnovers and exploit gaps in the defensive line.

IVÁN stays between the posts to organize the back line. The defense operates as a flat back four with GABRIEL acting as the left back and JUAN MANUEL holding the right flank. LUCAS and ULISES form the central pair, with LUCAS looking to win the header during defensive set pieces while ULISES provides cover. The unit works to maintain a high line to keep the team compact, ensuring the distance between the defense and the midfield remains small.

A three-man midfield controls the central areas. ELIÁN and MANUEL operate in the central roles, where ELIÁN works to win the second ball and MANUEL helps to connect the defense to the attack. OSMAR plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, looking to find pockets of space between the lines. This midfield group aims to press aggressively to win the ball high up the pitch and quickly progress through the thirds once possession is regained.

The attacking unit uses three attackers to stretch the opposition. JHON and JULIÁN play as wide wingers, with JHON looking to cut inside and JULIÁN attempting to get to the byline to deliver crosses. JONATHAN acts as the pressing centre-forward, leading the line by marking the opponent's defenders and looking to run in behind. The front three work to isolate wide players in one on one situations by spreading the width of the pitch.

This lineup offers the ability to press high in coordinated waves to disrupt the opponent's build up. Sarmiento (Junín) can also find success through speed of transition when the midfield recovers the ball. By using the width provided by JHON and JULIÁN, the team can switch play quickly to catch the opposition out of position.

The 4-3-3 formation provides a heavy presence in the attacking third to pressure the opposition. It is best suited for games against teams that struggle to play out from the back under intense pressure.
