FC Bayern: Can Kompany finally solve the midfield puzzle?
The search for the ideal composition in the midfield of FC Bayern Munich is currently the focus. Vincent Kompany, the new trainer of the traditional association, sees the challenge of finding the right balance between defensive and offensive midfielder in order to fix the problems that have been shown in the past.
The essential problem lies in the squad planning, which in the past has not paid too little attention to specific player types. This meant that in the game structure, a second playmaker was missing alongside Joshua Kimmich and at the same time a player who acts defensively stabilizing.
The new commitments from Aleksandar Pavlovic and Joao Palhinha are now to be closed. Pavlovic brings playful quality while Palhinha offers defensive skills. Nevertheless, the question remains how these players can be used optimally to strengthen the team as a whole.
The test against Tottenham: A first look at the possibilities
in the friendly against Tottenham, Kompany had the opportunity to test various constellations. In the first round, he relied on the combination of Kimmich and Pavlovic, which led to a control of the center, while the second half game with another constellation revealed the difficulties that have long been a well -known picture for Bayern.
The challenges and options in midfield puzzle
A dilemma arises from the combination of the players Kimmich and Pavlovic, since there are playful skills, but the defensive aspects are not completely covered. Company will have to weigh up when it makes sense to use stronger alternatives like Palhinha without losing the offensive flexibility.
Philosophy under Kompany could target possession and control. This could lead to player types such as Leon Goretzka and Konrad Laimer in the hierarchy may receive less playing time, since their strengths are more in dynamic pressing situations.
A look into the future: Company has the selection
The advantage for Kompany is the variety of perspectives that offers it the available player base. One example would be to consider a system change to a 4-3-3, for example to use Jamal Musiala more effectively. This flexibility is a strength that it should use to adapt the team in different game situations.
Conclusion: A midfield full of possibilities
