After Bayern introduced many new players this season, their lineup is more complete and their personnel deployment is more comfortable.
After the Bundesliga and Champions League group matches at the beginning of the season, Bayern gradually formed a relatively stable main lineup.
In some games, coach Heynckes will also send players like Tymoshchuk, Pizarro, Shaqiri, etc., but in the more critical highlights, he basically chooses one of two routines.
Mandzukic is always at the forefront of the striker, and Neuer is the goalkeeper. This one is unbreakable.
On the defense line, the newly joined Dante and Boateng Jr. are the main central defenders, Lahm guards the right, and on the left, Badstuber will take turns playing with the young Alaba.
The biggest variable is in the midfield.
After Spanish midfielder Javi Martinez joined the team this season, Bayern's midfielder is still a combination of two midfielders + three attacking frontcourts, but it often has two different strategies.
One of them is Bastian Schweinsteiger and Gustavo playing as a double defensive midfielder. Kroos plays in front of the attacking midfielder. Ribery is standing on his left, but Muller replaces Robben on the right. Right winger.
So the question is, since Robben is the biggest highlight of this Bayern team, why is he missing from this starting lineup?
The answer is "an act of desperation".
If Robben's biggest weakness is anything, it might be his glass constitution.
I get hurt too often!
His right leg is the most frequently injured part, and the total injury time exceeds an exaggerated 600 days.
His back, abdomen, buttocks, pelvis, left knee... all had injuries of varying degrees.
This resulted in Robben's highest attendance rate being 58% and the lowest attendance rate being only 35% during the many seasons he played for Bayern - including the 2012-2013 season.
Therefore, Heynckes designed this lineup with Muller as the winger to cope with Robben's absence.
But if Robben appears on the court with a healthy body, then Bayern's midfielder will show their complete body at this time:
The defensive midfielder is Bastian Schweinsteiger partnered with Javi Martinez, the attacking midfielder Muller, and of course Ribery + Robben on the left and right.
This was Pan Yi's previous start in the final when Bayern won the Champions League this season.
Judging from the situation in these two rounds of Bundesliga games, Bayern has no injuries.
Although four days after the league match with Hamburg, Bayern will face the challenge of Ligue 1 Lille in the Champions League group stage.
But the Bundesliga hegemony is also going smoothly in the Champions League this season. The three teams of Valencia, Lille and Borisov are not Bayern's opponents at all. Bayern also achieved three consecutive victories in the first three rounds.
The Champions League group stage is not necessarily as important to Bayern as the league.
Therefore, Bayern is still very likely to send all its main players in this league match with Hamburg!
"When Bayern used the defensive midfield combination of Javi Martinez and Bastian Schweinsteiger, their defense seemed more layered."
Pan Yi began to analyze Bayern's current tactical system.
Since last season's Champions League final, Heynckes's lineup has undergone some changes, and the coach's tactical ideas have also undergone some changes.
Some of these changes are even the result of learning from that failed final.
This is the power of a world-class coach.
They are always looking for changes, and they can always learn the strengths of their opponents, and make fine adjustments to their existing framework, and finally form their own set of things.
"When they defend, it can be said that they block at all levels, retreat at all levels, siege in the frontcourt, defend with all players, and lead offense during defense."
"For example, when the opponent's defender passes back to the goalkeeper, he can see Mandzukic harassing him, causing the goalkeeper to lose his accuracy with his wide kick. The encirclement in the midfield and frontcourt is even more powerful. Once the frontcourt is not surrounded, the midfielder immediately changes It becomes the second line of defense, and the frontcourt personnel retreat behind the midfielders. This results in that ordinary teams only have three lines of defense, while Bayern has five, making it difficult for opponents to pass through the midfielder on the ground."
"The key to Bayern's integrated offensive and defensive tactics is their two midfielders. The advantage of these two in the speed of offense and defense conversion is too obvious."
"The teams that lost to Bayern were basically trained to death and couldn't keep up with Bayern's rhythm. Xiaozhu and Hama are both strong defensive midfielders who can transition on the offensive end. The two of them are basically the same person. Defense, one person passes the ball, or switches over. It is really difficult to contain two midfielders at the same time, but it is not impossible."
Pan Yi didn't say one thing, that is, in his previous life, some coaches actually restrained Bayern, the top coach, such as Ancelotti.
In the 2013-2014 season, Real Madrid led by Anfan Pang beat Bayern with five goals in two rounds in the Champions League quarter-finals, which is the best example.
And this is exactly what he will use to deal with Bayern this time.
"To deal with Bayern's pressing pressure, we need to establish a strong pressing belt near the midline so that Bayern can control the ball in their half and cannot easily pass it into our half to pose a threat."
"Our players are not as strong as Bayern, so this pressure zone may be broken. At this time, we require the players to quickly get into position and form their own defensive formation."
"It's still the concept of compressing space that I mentioned before. If the space is small, it will be difficult for their two midfielders to make waves."
"In other words, in this game, we do not need the players to press and press Bayern's half, especially near the penalty area. Instead, we must concentrate all our efforts and organize a defense line in the middle line and backcourt."
"Another point is that Bayern's physical fitness is very good. They exhausted their opponents when they played Leverkusen, so they were able to launch a fierce attack at the end of the game and finally succeeded. In response to this, we must do a good rotation. "
"This rotation does not just refer to the rotation of the player lineup, which we have done well. It refers to the rotation in the game, just like a wheel battle."
"For example, in the frontcourt, after Vardy fights, he will retreat and let one of the two wings go up, and then another person will grab it..."
This is a smart way to save physical energy while maintaining the intensity of the pressing.
In fact, when pressing style becomes popular in European competitions in the future, many teams will use this approach.
However, at this point in time, Pan Yi's point is still relatively advanced and advanced.
Coaches such as Nagelsmann and Inzaghi were also amazed when they heard this and wrote it down in their notebooks seriously.
This is why they have always been fortunate to have a talented coach like Pan Yi as an assistant.
You can learn something new every day and make a little progress every day!
