How Hansi Flick Has Turned Bayern Munich into the Best Team in the World | Tactics Explained

Today, we’re taking a look at How Hansi Flick has turned Bayern Munich into the best team in the world in tactics explained.

After a poor start to the season, Bayern Munich sacked struggling manager Niko Kovač. Hansi Flick took over in November and ever since Bayern have looked devastating. Hansi Flick has already led them to the Bundesliga title and now his side look like the favourites to win the Champions League after the destruction of Barcelona in the quarter-finals.

Diving into the tactics, Hansi Flick’s 4-2-3-1 system with this Bayern Munich side is very reminiscent of Bayern’s treble winners, with a controlling pivot, flying full backs and dangerous inside forwards playing off an elite striker. They attack in a lopsided 3-2-5, focusing on getting the ball wide and crossing to their physical forwards in Lewandowski, Müller and Perisic.

Bayern aren’t just an exciting attacking side, no one in Europe works harder than Hansi Flick’s men. Bayern’s press is the most effective in Europe right now. They are the most successful team across Europe’s Top five Leagues in terms of successful pressures, winning possession back 34.8% of the time. Their 4-2-3-1 offers great coverage, allowing their hyper aggressive tactics to excel as they break on their unlucky foes.

Hansi Flick has his tactics spot on, but every top side to win the Champions League has a main man and that’s exactly what Robert Lewandoski offers Bayern Munich. Most previous winners have had a talisman. Zidane’s Madrid had Cristiano Ronaldo, Enrique’s Barca had Lionel Messi and Flick’s Bayern have Lewandowski. The Pole is in the form of his life, scoring at 1.2 goals per game in the Bundesliga and Champions League this season and looks poised to fire Bayern to their sixth Champions League!

But anyway guys what do you think? Will Bayern win the Champions League? Can they beat PSG?

Kimmich is amazing, one of if not the best defensive mid and right back on earth

[pgygidz]

This team is like a hybrid of Pep's possession and Klopp's efficiency. The pressing, the space created, the players work ethic, all of them are first class

[AtulKumar-jhqd]

Muller is a great asset and highly underrated. When used properly he is a nightmare to the opposition.

[PodcastClipsTelevision]

kimmich has to be one of the best players in the world, playing at right back allows his defensive and attacking abilities to improve and then playing in midfield allows him to perfect his dribbling and passing. probably the best all round player in the world

[baskarafahlevy]

Now we know why Germany was so good at WC 2014, Flick has something to do with that

[dior]

Goretzka is the real heartbeat of the team! His built like a beast, has the stamina of an ox! Up and down the pitch for the full 90 minutes! And not only that he didn’t cost a penny!

[alvinanis]

Can't believe this is the same team that got knocked out comfotably by Liverpool with Kovac in the UCL last year...

[dasaggropop]

most important was the team spirit.
Müller: "the only thing we argue about is who gets to help out when someone else makes a mistake."

[ArekSuroboyo]

Leon Goretzka is one hell of a box to box midfielder.

[Sascha_Germany]

bayern is like an effective attacking guardiola system. he is too much on holding the ball. bayerns tactic is scoring asap to have more time to score more

[B_razzer]

I know I’m not the only one that’s gonna try this on FM.

[Susanoo]

I'd love to see this team's tactics compared to Hecknyes' treble winning Bayern team. Both are very complete and balanced teams who have great work ethics.

[arynstha]

Bayern are just so so so so good to watch at the moment...
Not just about players they have but also they are just so well organised as a team..
Even this liverpool team could concede more than 8 goals with this bayern team..

[ImBilly]

dont forget that sane is going to be their new LW next season... even deadlier than perisic, making a juggernaut even more powerful

[anirbanpaul]

Goretzka's efforts are not well appreciated. Box to box midfielder has to work extremely hard so that the team structure doesn't get disrupted.

[nabilnabid]

Who is here after Flick get the Barca job

[joelpalo]

Even at "worst Bayarn in recent memory" under Kovac, They managed to trash spurs 2-7 🔥🔥🔥

[rajathk]

You missed boateng 's improvement under Flick

[obiwankenobi]

Statman dave before a party: “lets get this party started”

[brysonfrank]

That was incredibly deep and an impressive observation of their tactics.
