Bundesliga Week 18

In a 4-2 -2-2 - base formation Favre familiar with Max Kruse and Raphael on a strike partnership , which is characterized by technical finesse and tactical game intelligence. Both genes have an attacking midfielder and behave wisely in their movements in space . Often, the foals have more possession and have the game from its own defense starting out . An attempt is made to bridge the midfield quickly, which is also noticeable by the higher positioning of the offensive players . The object of the attacker is to tear holes in the opponent's defensive network.

Kruse creates superior numbers on the wing

Are flanked Kruse and Raphael mostly by Juan Arango and Patrick Herrmann, which in turn are involved in pass combinations or use the cracked gaps for advances . Kruse goes for example with great fondness from the center to the left side . He thereby creates either outnumbered on this wing, or he pulls his direct opponent a short distance from the middle out .

This leaves more space for players like the agile Herrmann, who can sprint from the right side in the middle, and is alluded to . In the area there is high fluidity and attacking the enemy's defensive associations are repeatedly played effectively apart . In addition, full-back Oscar Wendt just moves even supportive to the left wing for outnumbered situations.

Kramer is a winner of the first round

On the other hand, a block formation is visible at Gladbach. The defensive line draws on the defensive quite far back and the two sixes, granite Xhaka and Christoph Kramer , are not as strongly connected to the offensive. This element is significant for Favre's strategy. He demands that his team is not closed , coherent moving, but relies on the individual parts of the team and their group tactical strengths .

Pep Guardiola , Champions League, Borussia Mönchengaldbach , Borussia Dormund , Bayern , Bundesliga, back round start , football, Lucien Favre

On the Double Six Kramer has established extremely fast. The 22- year-old came before the season from VfL Bochum from the 2nd Bundesliga . It is after this first round already on everyone's lips and is even seen as a candidate for the German national team. Overall, Kramer is currently running the strongest players in the Bundesliga , but should not be reduced only to this component. It is an all-rounder between the penalty areas , behaves mostly very wise in his actions , and realize significant effect even in small batches .

Bayern Munich as a tactical endurance test

Just to the rear half of the season against FC Bayern Munich it will be important to strategically wise behavior. Bayern are not only individually possibly the most -Star team . Coach Pep Guardiolaversteht it in all regularity still perform the proper adjustments during games. Nevertheless, the Borussia is the home stadium does not completely stand a chance this Friday. When Hinrunden - game Gladbach tried mainly to block the center and not to let the Bavarians come to constant ball circulations .

It also tried Favre sometimes with high pressing frustrated by the attacker or be moved midfielder . This approach could be pursued in the upcoming encounter. However, high moving up to the Offense of the Bavarian game structure also carries the risk that Gladbach could lose the usual compactness when the Munich over playing the enemy lines quickly. On the other hand, is a passive retraction in the defensive composite endure over ninety minutes against Guardiola's team consistently difficult . The game against the Primus League is a tough test for tactician Favre .
