Tactics v Ability

[Bergkamp's Brain]

It would be harsh to suggest that Bayern are a team who are solely based on tactics, bur they are so organised and disciplined.

close them down in their half of the pitch and pressure the ball. They don't see that in La Liga.

Forced to hoof the ball in the air they suddenly become quite ordinary.

You seem to think we use tactics?

[Chief Arrowhead]

worked for 160 minutes.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

Barca are a special bunch of players but Bayern have proved, tonight only, that a good organised and disciplined team can overcome a more skilful team

they are not the finished article by any means but they could be stronger next season with pep in charge. Still think they have mental hurdle to overcome as they bottle two champions league finals now. Of couse they have to get through second leg first which is not over yet.

Barca to mean are nowhere near as good on ball as they were two years ago. Xavi dropped a level without a doubt. :nod:

and against a deceling barca team now that can work. Not sure it would have been as succesful as barca at their peak.

Its not amazing bayern team. But they are decent thats for sure.

[modd]

when you put them under pressure in the air as we showed at times in our second leg battle with them.

[modd]

ball anywhere near as well.
