"Kompany's aggressive formation transforms Bayern Munich into a 2-4-4 on offense, making them Europe's most potent attacking team but demanding high standards from centre-backs."
"The high-risk tactics require centre-backs to excel in tidy possession to prevent counter-attacks, while also being athletic and strong in one-on-one situations."
Vincent Kompany has implemented a high-risk attacking style at Bayern Munich, shifting from a conventional 4-2-3-1 to a 2-4-4 during offensive phases. This formation results in a relentless offensive output, making Bayern the leading attacking team in Europe. However, this strategy places immense responsibility on the centre-backs, requiring them to maintain possession, prevent counter-attacks, and cover defensively against opposing players. The success of this system hinges on metrics like passing accuracy, defensive agility, and one-on-one capabilities, as Kompany evaluates the performance of players like Eric Dier compared to Upamecano and Kim Min-jae.
