"Sofascore gave him just a 6.9 rating, which we think was not justified, considering his stellar display on the eye test. He is the most underappreciated and underrated player in the Allianz Arena's thrashing of Wolfsburg. The 20-year-old owned the midfield. He completed a whopping 89 out of 92 passes, a near-perfect game in terms of passing. The 89 passes include eight accurate long balls and nine progressive passes."
"Bischof was flying in the middle of the pitch to every hot zone, fighting every duel. His team-high eight recoveries were crucial for Bayern to retain possession and dictate the tempo of the game. Surprisingly, his game against Wolfsburg was only Bischof's second full 90 minutes as a centre midfielder since the 4-0 victory against Werder Bremen in September. The last time he did this, he also clocked in a solid shift and grabbed himself an assist."
Tom Bischof dominated Bayern's midfield with near-perfect passing and impactful defensive work during the 4-0 win over Wolfsburg. He completed 89 of 92 passes, including eight accurate long balls and nine progressive passes. He recorded a team-high eight recoveries and covered every hot zone to help retain possession and dictate tempo. That match was only his second full 90 minutes as a centre midfielder since the 4-0 win over Werder Bremen in September. Vincent Kompany has frequently deployed him at left-back during injury crises, but his motor and passing profile suit a deep-lying midfield role. Joshua Kimmich's injury opened a pathway for Bischof to claim a midfield slot over Leon Goretzka.
