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
Are you talking about joint positions or separately ?
@@osooso5843 seperately, he has to be at least top 5 right backs when he plays there and top couple of defensive midfielders when he plays there
@@jacklynch7802 top 5😂😂. Only behind trent....best DM based on form coz kante had a poor season
Bishar Daud Trent’s defense qualifies are in question. The midfield does a lot of covering, which without, the kid would be exposed. However, his attacking qualities are superb.
@@88thBusStop absolutely agree
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
and Ole to
Muller is a great asset and highly underrated. When used properly he is a nightmare to the opposition.
He dominated legendary teams in the last 11 years. Argentina, England , Brazil, Barca, Chelsea, Juvi, and the list goes on. He's been the bogeyman.
When muller hits first the opponent's will be fall in black hole😂😂
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
He is insane
Meanwhile John O'Shea under SAF: "Hah, peanut!"
I really like his style of play like omg he’s so smart and versatile that you don’t know what’s he gonna do 😀
And his positioning (in midfield), he is unbelievable.
@@song7087 p
Now we know why Germany was so good at WC 2014, Flick has something to do with that
I believe the same. Jogi Löw is the worst trainer and it showes.
@@livewallberg jogi low is now officially on fraud watch
100%
1-7 vs Brazil, win 1-0 against Argentina. 8-2 vs Barcelona, win 1-0 against PSG
Kimmich is amazing, one of if not the best defensive mid and right back on earth
Can't believe this is the same team that got knocked out comfotably by Liverpool with Kovac in the UCL last year...
Keyword: Kovac. People underestimate how much of a role a coach can play in a team's performance. It's huge. Bayern lacked direction under Kovac and most importantly, motivation to follow his game plan or even play.
one year, one new manager
They had rafina at right back ,martinez and james as mid ,35 y o ribery in that lineup.
It's not the same team mate.
Not a same team they have added perisic and pavard
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."
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!
Not really. If you watched Bayern throughout this year, you'd say it's Kimmich. Goretzka throughout the year played a more advanced role.
Because he's roided lol
@@dickthehead1145 Nah bro he's not. There's absolutely zero sense for a footballer to roid...
@@elhepe1290 it absolutely does, the guy went from skinny fat to looking like the hulk over covid. Not only will it give him more strength but hed likely be on anabolics too so his stamina will be even better. Same thing goes for Adama traore, you don't go from skinny to absolutely huge in a year naturally its literally impossible.
@@dickthehead1145 meh, i have to go with you in most points :D maybe i just WANT my sport to be clean... the only thing i'd say is that athlete bodies might be far more receptive to heavy lifting than normal people.
Leon Goretzka is one hell of a box to box midfielder.
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
I know I’m not the only one that’s gonna try this on FM.
🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
@Antony manager
I have no idea how to implement this, RDF's fmscout tried to replicate this with using Regista, Deep Lying Playmaker, and Advanced Playmaker in the same formation. I'm confused.
Sy Husada i tried to set it up myself, and got mixed results, then I tried the fmscout set up, and it’s been 3 games 3 wins, so far.
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.
Is it really too complicated to spell the name of one of the greatest managers of the last 30 years correctly? Just asking...
This Bayern is more aggressive. Jupp's was defensively better.
@@Kalle_Anka thanks. It's not a name I see often online when people talk about football and I reckon I've seen it spelt wrong and just copied that spelling.
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..
dont forget that sane is going to be their new LW next season... even deadlier than perisic, making a juggernaut even more powerful
🤯🤯🤯🤯
But alaba and thiago might leave so they have to find replacements. They still will be strong but let's see
@@StatmanDave Do you think Niko Kovac will work in Monaco
Krishna Pathi Goretzka is a suitable starter for thiago and Tolisso has stepped up lately. No one can replace Thiago but those 2 have done well to almost fill that hole. Alaba will be easily replaced by Lucas who will come back into the starting XI
@@krishnapathi2277 Thiago passing ability on his day will be hard to replicate, but the dual pivot of Kimmich and Goretzka is no downgrade whatsoever. Pavard fits so nicely in that RB position. Alaba on the other hand will make me very upset and although we have Sule and Hernandez to compensate, they are no Alaba...signs are promising at the time of writing this however.
Even at "worst Bayarn in recent memory" under Kovac, They managed to trash spurs 2-7 🔥🔥🔥
It was Hansi Flick Bayern
@@MoonLess4444 It was under Kovac , the 7 goals were scored thanks to individual brilliance by Gnabry and Lewy
That game was just individual brilliance from Gnabry, neuer, Lewandowski, thiago They didn't dominate the game like Flick's bayern does nowadays
Neeraj vibez exactly that was just a gnabry masterclass
@@Emforlife445 dont forget that flick was kovac's assistant (like he was löw's assistant during mundial 2014 !! see what i mean !?
You missed boateng 's improvement under Flick
Statman dave before a party: “lets get this party started”
Then the party is ready
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.
And people keep saying he got big because of steroids and not his hard work smh
He's an absolute beast
@@bryanho730 Steroids are important in Spain and England but not in the Bundesliga.
@@bryanho730 he very obviously took steroids or TRT to get big, someone who is skinny their entire carrier does not become that jacked without help in 5 months.
@@dickthehead1145 5 months???...it took him like 2 years
That was incredibly deep and an impressive observation of their tactics.
Thomas Muller might be one of the best players in the world
He is one of the best players in the world! His stats this year back it up
Yeah, he is definetly better then kdb at the moment.
Thomas Mueller is so Inportent. What he do is so effective.
If you ask me, the worst Bayern in recent years was under Ancelotti. Even the players said that his was not very interested in training Bayern. Robben said that his son's training sessions are more intensive than Ancelotti's and there were reports that the players organised their own training sessions.
Ancelotti "wins" this one easily, he was total catastrophe. But that doesn't say too much good about Kovac. However, perspective may lie a little bit now, as Hansi has done so insanely good job, making Niko look worse than he actually was.
Kovac's was worst tbh
I hope Chelsea replace Potter with this guy, he’s literally perfect
You have missed out the sweeping and the passing play of neuer. It is very critical as wel as crucial in this style of play
Thank you for explaining how that high line and transitional game is so effective. Great discussion. It’s crazy to think they are also getting Sane for next season.
Thanks for this great tactical insight to my favorite team. Bayern and Hansi Flick is a match made in heaven. Love it!
Really Good Video about Tactics one of the best I ever saw!👍🏽💯🔥
Cool breakdown & yes, Bayern are the best club team in world football. German " heavy metal" football, as interpreted by Liverpool's Klopp & Bayern's Flick, as stolen a march on Spanish "tiki-taka" football as interpreted by Barcelona & Man City's Guardiola.
Wow. Really liked the way you explain things. Very informative.
lmao sometimes i forget about sane
Great analysis. Hansi Flick has really turn this bayern team into a force to be reckon with
Müller: We at Bayern we have Hansi Sick. You know, Hansi SICK
We have manwal neuer..
🤣🤣🤣👌👌🔥🔥🔥
Another great vid. Keep up the good work!
Amazing content! Keep it up bro! 😄🔥👏🏿
Imagine benching Thiago, one of the best midfielder nowdays. It is just incredible how good this squad is.
If kimich had a little more speed oh boy scary
But he is actually really fast. Not crazy Davies roadrunner fast, but very fast
Well done man
Great watch Dave 👊🏼
Cheers Jon. Hope you and Alex are well. 👍👍👍
@@StatmanDave we are thanks mate 👍🏼
Amazing analysis Now we need "Ole tactical master class vs Seville explained"
😂😂
look at bayerns bench....then think about what you just said...pfff
@@zenmaster9278 sevilla have a better bench?
Love you’re vids
Hansi Flick is building a dynamite of a team. @statman Dave I've been suggesting for a long time now that you do a video on how David Brooks will fit in at Man Utd.. Thank God he's finally made our rumor mill though.
Brilliant video,
Thanks Dave
Great video
amazing stuff,
Now i'm ready to apply these tactics on fifa
4:14 Six players in and around the box....Jheez
great content, ill give u my sub now!
Excellent video, as always. Too bad they with Boateng and lately Thiago, two players who are defensively lacking. Who do you think is going to win the Final, btw?? Are you going to make a preview video?
4-2-3-1? Sounds like a BTEC Solskjaer to me
lol
I agree
Yh solskjaer dosen't have attacking fullbacks
Bayern wish they had Lee Grant, some other german fella in goal
@@James-ml5xk yea, i heard that German fella is a bit alrite?
Imagine this team with sane😬😩
Dave, good analysis. Am thinking United should be seeing their next manager. OLE for DoS and FLICK as manager.
You don't just bring a successful manager and think your team will win. Bayern is more than just flick. Bayern is Flick + intelligent players (expansive players do not equal intelligent)+ team spirit (expansive players do not equal players with spirit)+ Stamina.
heynckes played like this too , but this team in my eyes is stronger
depends, 2013 bayern is more reliable defensively, but I do think this bayern has way more ways to score goals.
Great vid.
Thanks mark
@@StatmanDave 👍🏻
@@StatmanDave Could this Bayern team have beaten Pep`s 2011 Barce team?
I'm surprised that lyon actually played better than barca
Lol
@@StatmanDave maybe it's because lyon's 3 at the back are harder to press, and the last time bayern faced a 3 at the back, it was against dortmund, and they only managed 1 goal
Lyon played quick direct balls to exploit Bayern's high defensive line. They didn't take the risk of playing out from the back like barca did
@@joshuakimmich9536 that makes sense, considering lyon's chances are main a running in behind ploy
Ole trying this same thing with united but he got like 2 proper players. No winger to send in crosses, no one runs into the box to receive balls lol
Bayern's tactics cannot be copy pasted upon Manu's game. BAYERN outclass Manu in every position in comparison with the players quality and, pramountly, experience. Pace, intelligence, physicality all of these attributes are entwined in the present Bayern's squad. Have you noticed them pressing? Oh God!.. like a stray dogs after a chunk of meat, that is how they run after the ball from the very first minute to the minute when the final whistle blows. Manu needs to stick to how we play at present. However, a bit of conviction and intelligence is what the players lack on the pitch and, undoubtedly, squad depth.
where were you man we missed you
a young experienced squad who is not afraid to push thats why they can get off guard with a long ball and a quick forward like Depay did but he couldnt finish of course
Building out from the back in 3-1-3-3 ... interesting 🤔🤔💭
We want that 20/21 predictions!
Flick has really done something sensational with this team. The way they play is so attractive and exhilarating, not to mention extremely lethal. Hopefully he continues to do great things with them ( And I pray we don't face them in the UCL next season 💀)
@Alex Kanyima his team press better than jurgen's coz hansi got better versatile players
A little too early to tell. One season ago, we were singing praises about how dominating Liverpool were. (now any mention about Liverpool at present day?) Dave, don't over-hype on Bayern, yes a very good game and improved team under new coach, but its far to early to tell whether Bayern will dominate for years to come. If they continue like this and appear in the Champions league final next season, then I will consider them as a dominating force like how United and Barca were in previous era.
You must be an acolyte of a team that has been beaten and thrashed to the full extent by Bayern. No team can be dominant for more than a year or a two. Name, if there is any? Real won Chamipons league three times in a row, however, in Laliga, they had to genuflect before Barca. Barca, recently had been winning the domestic titles regularly, but could not show the same impact in the Chamipons league. Liverpool won the Chamipons league the previous season, however at the cost of their EPL title to City. This year, they manage to get hold of it, again at the cost of bowing down before Atletico and making an exit in the Champions league. Bayern holds the same prospect; they are a machine this season. If they manage to bag the Chamipons league, this season, they are in for a run to embrace the treble. Nonetheless, this dominance shall not stretch much longer than a year since Champions league next season is no guarantee to Bayern that they can be this dominant as they are this season. Every year, there are 2 to 4 teams with affluent quality and faculty. Therefore, there is no team who can be labelled the best and towers other team around the globe. Some perform domestically well at the expense of the European Cup run, and some, the other way round.
Liverpool vs Bayern would be Bayern's ultimate test. Top class gegnpressing...Liverpool, Man City & PSG can cut any European team. Liverpool are masters of gegenpress....Also...Its going be interesting to see who Man City bring in to their team in transfer window. If they get their defensive tactics correct then Bayern can be defeated......And if Bayern doesn't change tactics in the final against PSG....We are in for a superb high scoring final.....
It's all about the UCL mate. A team cannot be called the best if they can't even get past the RO16. You haven't seen Bayern play if you don't think they're the best team in the world.
I'd like to see a bayern vs Liverpool... I'm a Liverpool fan I
Thiago will be a big miss for them I think he’s the only player in their team they can’t readily replace with anyone else. I think Kimmich is fantastic there but doesn’t bring the same creative qualities and flair.
MULLER is so underrated
Flick transformed Kimmich and Goreztka as double pivot in midfield.Alaba as a CB pair with Niklas Sule is amazing,when alphonso go higher as a fullback Alaba is always there covering his position in back 3 position
So, basically Bayern have a 4-2-3-1 system without really using it. XD
Who is here after 8-0 against Schalke?
PSG watching this like: "interesting"
Attacking full back + false 9 and high line pressure are the most effective tactic in modern football with sweeper offensive goalkeeper of course. I really can't find any better tactic.
I think it's safe to say they are the best team in the world
Can you do Sir Alex Ferguson's Best tatics
I want to see how Klopp’s liverpool handling this bayern. They either getting battered or might win over bayern. Interesting to watch. Bayern can put this as redemption to their last met
I just remembered in the end they didn't even use Sane just yet, My GOD
Sule (injured all season) is a big upgrade on current Boateng. Lucas Hernandez on the bench
Who's here when the premiere started?
@statmandave please make PSG Tactics video
Gegenpress reigns supreme right now.
The best Bayern team of my generation. No doubt about that at all.
Lol statmann dave doing amazing free analysis for tuchel
LIverpool vs Bayern would make a very interesting game.
Bayern thrash them if their best 11 on thier hand
Bayern has great players, but as a team they are simply the best. A machine. I love how Bayern plays very risky. But they can allow themselves that because they have a cheat in their goal. Manuel Neuer. Bayern are just fantastic, their coach has done an amazing job in combining all the strengths of every player.
Final prediction dave??
Was waiting to hear the word "overload" lol
When youre winning, suddenly youre the best in the world. Once your lose, no on ever know who you are
Dear Statman Dave, it's phenomenal analysis. Now we need Nagelsmann's Bayern and why Nagelsmann adheres to Flick's principles and is in no hurry to implement his principles. Their styles are similar but still identical. Apparently the bosses of Bayern do not want to destroy what works well. Tell us what little details Nagelsmann brings to Bavaria
They are machines built by bone and blood they never rest in the pitch that is why they are dominating
I bet Joachim Low now feels silly not calling Muller, Boateng and Hummels up for the German squad
unfortunetly bayern where unlucky that they only score 8 goals 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ahhahaha
Thanks for listening to me thaks
bayern just took the pole position from Real Madrid in the uefa 5y rating
Make 5 cb or lb Chelsea should sign in the summer plez?
Flick won the World Cup as assistant coach, now heading for the triple in his first (half) season as a head coach. If he wins tonight you could argue that there are only two trophies left for him: European Championship and World Cup as head coach
Bayern are just a machine
Of course one of the biggest differences between Kovac and Flick is that both Muller and Davies start every game now, under Kovac they were bench warmers. That certainly hasn't hurt.
Do a fpl vid
VDB is United. Some brief analysis
Who's looking at this after Bayern won the Champions league?
And they won UEFA Super Cup 😀
Low looks a right nob for telling Muller he won't be playing for Germany under him again
Think you the great flick
Make one for signings and changes need to made for juve's full potential
