Focusing on a high press and vertical transitions, the team operates in a 4-3-3. This formation is built to win the ball high up the pitch and quickly move it toward the attacking line. The lineup relies on intense pressure to disrupt the opposition and create chances through quick combinations.

Ignacio Parreño starts in goal to command the area. The defensive unit plays with a flat back four to maintain compactness. Adrián Sanfélix operates as the right back, while Álex Marzal holds the left flank. In the center, Pont and Quique act as the central defenders, where they need to win the second ball and clear the lines when under pressure. This back four works to squeeze the space between the defensive line and the midfield to prevent opponents from playing through the lines.

The midfield consists of a single pivot with two advanced players. Francisco García sits in front of the defense to shield the back four and recycle possession. Alongside him, Pau Marqués and Manuel Tajuidje act as the two central midfielders. Pau Marqués and Manuel Tajuidje are tasked to carry the ball forward and press aggressively to win the ball back high. This trio works to connect the defense to the attack by playing short from the back and finding the feet of the striker.

The attacking front three uses width to stretch the defense. Pablo Ariño plays on the left wing, while Daniel Palanca occupies the right wing. Both players are expected to cut inside to create numerical superiority in the central areas. Albert Carceller acts as the lone striker, playing as a pressing centre-forward to pin the last defender. The aim is to use the wingers to isolate wide players in one on one situations or to provide service for Albert Carceller to attack the near post.

One major tactical advantage of this lineup is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, forcing long balls from the opponent. The team also benefits from the speed of transition once Francisco García or the central midfielders win the ball. By having Daniel Palanca and Pablo Ariño spread wide, the team can easily switch play to catch the opposition out of position.

This 4-3-3 is a high intensity formation designed to dominate games through aggressive pressing. It is best suited for facing opponents who struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
