Bayern lost to Bochum and conceded four goals in the first half, for Bayern, this is more than 40 years later, the team conceded four goals in the first half again, Bochum is a promotion horse, but why did Bochum win this game? Why bayern failed miserably, there may be a lot of analysis, in fact, just one, bayern midfield problems, midfield problems led to a series of weaknesses exposed, why say so?
This round was a disaster day for many centre-backs, and Jules and Upa Mecano also joined the ranks, but why did the two make so many mistakes in this game?
Jules and Upa Mecano both showed their shortcomings, that is, the slow turning speed, this game is obvious, the two because of the lack of speed, let the opponent burst, Holtman, the Philippine international let the two defend all kinds of mistakes, so it seems that it is not as good as playing three center-backs, at least two wing-backs can help the defense, now the idea, the team seems to be able to play only three center-backs, Davis injury is indeed trouble. Jules was also right to leave, now the speed is really not good, too easy to be hit by the opponent. Upamecano is also not fast enough, two lack of speed of the center back in the case of a single back, very normal, the opponent this really fast enough, and good luck. So this combination probably won't be used that way in the next game.
The midfield is the cause of the problem, and the midfielder's single-back tactics fail
The team played a single back, but there was a problem, from the game point of view, Kimmich really did not have enough ability to play a single back, himself is a normal midfield organization core, there is defensive ability, but the defensive coverage area is not so large, this really has a lot of problems. This is the problem of Bayern without Goretzka, of course, Nagelsmann may have conceded too many goals in the last game, wanted to stabilize the defense, and chose the four centre-backs, but the midfielder did have Kimmich, chose a single back, and the result was that the effect was completely ineffective. Now the situation is that the choice of three centre-backs can concede goals, but also score goals, choose but the back, the four centre-backs are definitely going to concede the ball, but the goal is not good, perhaps the best choice is still the three centre-backs, before Davis returns, the three centre-backs may be the most suitable tactic for the team now, but a question also arises, why does Bayern not buy Zakaria? It seems that in the next game, Kimmich will either partner with Toliso or Sabice, the midfield will definitely need two people, and the midfield problem is the reason for the loss of the ball, because the midfield really can't hold this game.
Levan scored two goals, but under the 4141 formation, the combination of the four midfielders was a bit problematic
The team's midfield offensive group in this game is not good, it always feels that only one person can play, this is also a problem, Bayern actually has a good reserve of wingers, many players playing wingers are doing well, but the midfield organization of these players may be worse, and the ability to diversify positions is not enough. Mueller has nothing to play this time, this problem is troublesome, in fact, Bayern really need a successor to Mueller, Koeman and Gnabry play full-back is not impossible, occasionally play a game is not impossible, or directly play wing-back, may be better than this effect. This time the team's full-backs were basically destroyed, and the two players in the center-back were slow to play the ball. Having a wing-back may solve some of the problems, and davis was able to help the team with some defense before, and that's what he does. Losing may not be a bad thing, but in the Champions League, the team may follow the normal tactical play.
