Bayern Munich’s UCL League Phase: A Look Ahead
In a strategic move, coach Vincent Kompany made three changes to the lineup for Bayern Munich’s next game. The return of Neuer in goal over Sven Ulreich was expected, along with Guerreiro and Gnabry stepping in for Konrad Laimer and Kingsley Coman.
Kompany has been known to switch up his starting lineup from game to game, but not to an extreme extent. This tactic has proven successful so far this season.
After dropping points in their last game, there is no need for drastic changes. Leverkusen may be tough competition, but Bayern Munich is looking to dominate and be more clinical in their attack against Villa.
Unfortunately, Sacha Boey, Josip Stanisic, Hiroki Ito, and backup keeper Daniel Peretz remain sidelined. However, Kane, who suffered a knock in the last match, is expected to be ready to start.
It will be interesting to see how the new lineup performs and if Bayern Munich can continue their success in the UCL League Phase.
“Neuer’s return is crucial for us,” said one Bayern Munich player. “We have to stay focused and take advantage of our opportunities,” added another.
