Bayern's 2-4 defeat to Bochum, a cold one, is a matter of fact, as far as this is concerned, for Bayern, it is really worth summarizing.

1【Analysis of the back of the starting single】

From the starting lineup arrangement, bayern in this game is a single back configuration, and such an organized midfielder as Brother Chicken is single-handedly dragged behind.

In the football world, when the organizational back is discharged to drag the rear formation, on the left and right sides of the back, the usual configuration is two B2B players to provide enough round-trip running ability and hardness, on the one hand, the offensive end to do the transition and the point of reception, more importantly, the defensive end can retreat back, providing enough hardness and protection capabilities, escorting the organizational back while guarding the front of the penalty area. This is the usual 433 inverted triangle configuration.

But this time Bayern is not such a 433 inverted triangle, but 4141. In this formation, because the overall formation is more advanced, it is a double front waist configuration with more offensive personnel, so the single back under the 4141 formation is often a hard B2B or pure defensive back to provide hardness support for the midfield.

Like Bayern's midfield configuration of double front waist + organized back today, almost no team dares to play like this at the starting time, at most it is a fight adjustment in the case of backwardness.

If you really want to play this kind of midfield without defense and hardness 4141, what needs to be done is to do the ultimate with attack and defense and high-level pressing, all players in the front court must actively participate in high-level oppression, strangle the opponent's attack as much as possible in the cradle, and after grabbing the ball, they will frantically insert forward, forcing the opponent's defense to be tired of running and not giving the opponent a chance to breathe. But unfortunately, in the first half of this game, Bayern's high pressing scale and strength, as well as the rate and rhythm of the front court after the front insertion and take the ball, are not enough, giving Bochum a certain space to pass the ball, then when Bochum can pass the ball forward, Bayern's wide-open lineup configuration, naturally to lose the ball.

Bayern's player configuration in the middle of the midfield is not only a problem of defensive hardness in the middle, but also a very obvious point, that is, when Lucas and Pavard slightly want to participate in some attacks, rather than staying in their own defensive zone, in theory, this gap should be filled by the back, but today, no one can effectively make up for it. Bochum's left and right feet of the world wave, although a little unattainable, is the quality of the shot is extremely high. But to get a foothold there, and even if Lucas and Pavard weren't in position at the time, from a tactical point of view, it was worth thinking about.

I don't know if it is because it is a little light enemy, I think Bochum is not strong anyway, not necessarily able to create any threat, so both to practice such a heavy attack and light defense of the lineup, but also want to stay for the midweek Champions League without fully raising the pressure, feel a little looser is ok. (Hopefully not).

2【On-the-spot substitution adjustment】

At half-time, the underperforming Upamecano was replaced by Toliso, who played three centre-backs and added a back. But the problem ensued, Kimmich, Tolisso, Sane, Mueller, the division of labor and cooperation between the four people was not clear, so the offensive organization was still not smooth. On the defensive end, because the left and right flanks are Koeman and Gnabry, in fact, they can't provide much defensive support, so at the beginning of the second half, although bochum's goals combined in the two sides are offside, it can also be seen that Bochum uses the bayern side gap, and Bayern itself has the strength to organize the ball due to the unclear division of labor in the midfield.

With Shubomotin for Muller, change to play double forwards, Sane played the front waist is not enough (in fact, in theory, the single front waist must be more suitable for Muller, but Sane is not unable to play), but then on Sabits to change Koman, but after this substitution, Sabitse's sense of existence is strong? Theoretically, after this substitution, Sane should go to the wing, with Sabice in the center, which is a position they are relatively better at. But in fact, the division of labor between the two is not clear, often changing back and forth, feeling very chaotic.

3. [Data Support]

In this game, according to the official bundesliga data, Bayern's passing success rate is 79%, while the average of Bayern in the past few seasons has been between 87% and 89%, which has declined slightly this season, but it is still the first in the Bundesliga, with about 85%. Therefore, the data of this game and the data of this season reflect two points, one of which is that the lineup arrangement and the on-field command of this game are not successful, resulting in Bayern playing really chaotic. Second, some of the changes to the formation and play style of the coach this season, the players themselves have not fully adapted, and the quality of the cooperation itself has also declined slightly.

4. 【Whole live or experiment】

I have said many times on different occasions that a mature team cannot only plan A, it is necessary to practice PLAN B, and even sometimes it is not impossible to understand and accept some price. But in fact, we must also pay attention to the scale, after all, the team needs results, and it cannot be practiced regardless of the cost. So you even walk through PLAN B. For this PLAN B itself, it also needs to be more detailed arrangement and thinking (mainly the cost of trial and error, risk control, and how to execute it in the execution itself, rather than roughly understanding it and going up to practice).

Take this one, Bochum is not very strong, you choose to take the weak team to test, in theory, no problem, but when the final result is 2-4 loss, and most of the time is 1-4 behind, there is no doubt that the cost is a bit large. If it's just a small loss, or a stumbling tie, the cost is at least less than it is now. This reflects that the team's layout and thinking about this PLAN B itself is not meticulous enough, and the understanding of the players is far from matching the current staffing. Trial and error are fine, but be more careful.

Therefore, the whole life and the experiment, in fact, is only a line of separation, consider the details, there is a sense of risk control, in a certain scale of the drill, even if the cost is not too much, can be called experiment. However, the consideration is not meticulous enough, the risk control is not enough, and the scale is too large, and there is a suspicion of whole life.

It is easy to pull the egg if the steps are too big, and Bayern's strength and configuration are far from being enough to have to be torn down and restarted.
