A high press and heavy emphasis on winning the ball high up the pitch defines this lineup. The team uses a 4-3-3 formation to create constant pressure on the opposition. This system is built to play direct, vertical football that looks to punish mistakes immediately after a turnover.

Olsen stays between the posts to anchor the defensive unit. The back four operates with a high line to keep the team compact. Soyoncu acts as a ball playing defender, while Lindelof provides coverage and is strong in the air. Nababkin plays as a defensive wing back to protect the flank, allowing Celik to push higher up the pitch. The defensive unit works together to squeeze the space and set the offside trap.

The midfield consists of a three-man midfield with a carrier to link the play. Svanberg sits in the center to shield the defense and win the second ball. Ozyakup works to connect the defensive and attacking lines by moving the ball from deep, while Miranchuk operates in the half spaces to create chances. This group aims to press in a mid-block to force a long ball from the opponent.

In the final third, the team uses three attackers across the front. Under acts as a pressing centre-forward to pin the last defender and fight for long balls. Berg stays wide as an inverted winger to cut inside and threaten the box, while Chalov plays as a wide winger who stays closer to the touchline to provide width. They look to hit in behind on the transition to catch the defense out of position.

The team possesses a few clear tactical advantages. They can use the ability to press high in coordinated waves to disrupt the buildup of the opponent. There is also a strength in the speed of transition, as the front three can break quickly once the midfield wins possession. This allows the team to stretch the defence through sudden movements.

This 4-3-3 formation relies on intense pressure and rapid vertical movements. It is best suited for games against teams that struggle to play out from the back under pressure.
