Starting Lineup
ALAN (AGUERRE) · SANTIAGO (MOYANO) · ALEJANDRO (MACIEL) · FELIPE (AGUILAR) · DARÍO (CÁCERES) · MATÍAS (VERA) · LUCAS (GONZÁLEZ) · MARCO (IACOBELLIS) · DIEGO (BARRERA) · HORACIO (TIJANOVICH) · MICHAEL (SANTOS)Central Córdoba (SdE) prioritizes a high press to win the ball high up the pitch, operating within a 4-3-3 formation. This lineup is built to play a direct and vertical game that looks to exploit spaces quickly once possession is regained. The team aims to squeeze the space in the opponent half to keep the play moving forward toward the goal.
ALAN guards the net as the goalkeeper, acting as the last line of defense. The defensive unit plays with a flat back four, where SANTIAGO and DARÍO act as the full backs to provide width. ALEJANDRO and FELIPE operate as the central defenders, tasked to hold the line and defend zonally. ALEJANDRO and FELIPE must stay compact to prevent through balls, while SANTIAGO and DARÍO can push up to support the midfield or track back to cover long balls.
In the middle of the pitch, Central Córdoba (SdE) employs a three-man midfield with a carrier and creative elements. MARCO plays as an attacking ten behind the striker, finding pockets of space to create chances. LUCAS and MATÍAS operate in the central areas to connect the defensive and attacking lines. LUCAS and MATÍAS work to win the second ball and protect the back four, while MARCO looks to find the feet of the striker or drive into the box.
The attacking structure features three attackers across the front, creating significant width and central presence. HORACIO and DIEGO act as wide wingers who look to cut inside and create goal scoring opportunities. MICHAEL plays as the lone striker, acting as a focal point to hold up the ball and link up with the runners. This front line is designed to press from the front, forcing the opposition to play long balls and allowing the defenders to win the aerial duels.
A major tactical strength for this lineup is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, which can disrupt the opponent's build up play. By using MARCO to pin the last defender and having HORACIO and DIEGO stretch the defense, the team creates many one on one situations. This high intensity allows the team to break quickly and catch opponents out of position during transitions.
This 4-3-3 formation relies on high energy and pressing to dictate the tempo of the match. It is best suited for games against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
