Bayern Munich: You should be an eleven-year-old Venis
Of course, this is only the first round of the German Cup; IMHO, it is only against the newly promoted second division team Ulm, who have now lost all three official games in the new season. Not everything worked for the German record champions: a lot of goals were conceded, especially when dribbling, and only 2 out of 18 dribbling attempts yielded quite meaningful results, and even in the combined game, Ulm Players also put their feet on failed balls multiple times.
However, it was a successful official match under new coach Vincent Kompany – and not just because of the eventual 4-0 victory, and not just because of the outstanding performance of Thomas Müller, who scored Scored two goals and had one assist. Because Bayern occasionally has weaknesses in the structure of the game, but it is still convincing in terms of competition.
Because the players press very high, because the attacking players like Gnabry also counterattack very consistently, because everyone from goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to the centre-backs defend very well up front. . Because the full-backs not only run forward, but also rush into the center many times, and Bayern always has at least one extra pass in the front midfield. Because Munich’s entire system of play appears to be less cautious and more dynamic than it was under Thomas Tuchel last season – even if it’s too early to predict a general trend or even a reversal.
“We still had a lot of technical errors, a lot of conceding goals, but the transition after conceding the ball nipped the opponent’s actions and hopes in the bud,” admitted winner Thomas Müller after the game with his usual analytical clarity. .
That’s exactly what Vincent Kompany wants to see most in this game. If possible, in every next game. “I want the team to be brave and show good energy,” said the coach, who mentioned exactly the same things as Muller in his analysis of the match, but refused to give a “label” to the dynamic style of play he wanted, preferring Changing his government statement, he added a personal note: “My personality is this: this is how I understand football, this is how I understand my life. We should always express our interest and desire to have the ball.”
You should be eleven Venis, that’s what Bayern are saying from now on.
