"Bayern Munich's imperious 16 out of 16 wins to start the season saw fans and analysts alike blown away by the form and footballing quality on display. Bayern's subsequent run of 6 wins in 9 games was less impressive and some of the Bavarians' weaknesses were put more on display during that time. The German champions struggled to keep a clean sheet, the man to man defending at the back began to see the high line exposed more often"
"We know which areas we have to look at: defending set pieces, counters. When we were totally focused, we always defended well. But because our game is very dynamic, there's sometimes a risk. We want to improve on that, but without losing the things that make us strong. That's very important."
Bayern Munich opened the season with 16 straight wins before a run of six wins in nine matches exposed defensive weaknesses. The team struggled to keep clean sheets, the high defensive line was frequently exposed, and the side conceded numerous goals from set pieces and counters. Areas identified for improvement include defending set pieces and counter-attacks while maintaining the dynamic attacking qualities that produce many goals. A congested match schedule limits immediate fixes, but the upcoming winter break and a short pre-season present an opportunity to work on defensive organization.
