FC Bayern made major changes to its squad in the summer and signed three new regular players in Sadio Mané, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui. According to current media reports, Julian Nagelsmann could realign the tactical direction of Munich thanks to his new stars.
“It will be a new Bayern Munich,” emphasized Julian Nagelsmann at yesterday’s PK at the start of Bayern’s US tour. According to the 34-year-old, the Munich style will change, mainly due to the departure of Robert Lewandowski. As reported by “Sport BILD”, Nagelsmann is already busy testing a new game system.
Like once in Leipzig? Nagelsmann is considering a 4-2-2-2
According to the newspaper, the Bayern coach often resorted to a 4-2-2-2 in training in the first two weeks of preparing for the season. Nagelsmann has already played this system in Leipzig and tested it again and again at FCB in the past season.
In front of Manuel Neuer, a back four with Alphonso Davies, Lucas Hernandez, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui would be used. Joshua Kimmich is set in defensive midfield. Due to Leon Goretzka’s injury, Ryan Gravenberch has good prospects of starting the new season. Original Bavarians Thomas Müller and Kingsley Coman are currently in the lead in attacking midfield. A double seat with Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mané could be used in the storm.
It is interesting: According to “Sport BILD” information, Nagelsmann has been thinking for a long time about how Bayern could play without FIFA world footballer Robert Lewandowski. But one thing is also clear: Nagelsmann is not someone who rigidly relies on a tactical system. A 3-5-2 or a 4-3-3 are also considered possible options for the young coach.
