Bavarian Podcast Works: Preview Show — Union Berlin vs Bayern Munich (Hinrunde)

Bayern Munich looks very different from the side we have been used to seeing, and in a good way. Of course, the 6-1 thumping of Frankfurt on Friday was only the first game of the season, but it showed a lot of promise for the rest of the season and gave us a glimpse of Nagelsmann’s strategies for this side, and the plans he wishes to implement moving forward.The 4-2-2-2 is just one of many formations Nagelsmann can deploy this season, but it certainly seems to be one that he favors. He also has the right personnel to execute it to perfection, so we might be seeing a lot more of the same in upcoming fixtures. With the squad super stacked everywhere and spirits looking high, one can’t help but speculate whether this is going to be another one of those historic seasons (in a good way, of course). But yeah, too soon to say anything.All that being said, Tom and Schnitzel sit down in this edition of the flagship show to discuss many positives (positivity is good :)) and some minor concerns, while also postulating to guess how the rest of the season could pan out.Here are the major talking points discussed in this episode:Bayern’s dominant performance against FrankfurtHow Chuck steals the spotlight all the time, leaving the rest of us poor folks hangingThe 4-triple-2 and what it brings to the tableNagelsmann’s plans for the rest of the seasonTom’s insufferable EPL talk and Schnitzel trying hard to bring him back on trackSané transfer rumoursThrowing shade at INNN and Teddy (once again)A look at the other fixtures in the BuLi and early predictions for the rest of the seasonLearn more about your ad choices.

Bayern Munich opened the 2022/23 Bundesliga season with a ruthless battering of Eintracht Frankfurt, a team that regularly gets the better of the Bavarians and won the Europa League just last season. Julian Nagelsmann’s side ran rampant in a game which saw the visitors up 5-0 within the first half, in a performance which somehow managed to shock the Eagles faithful into a stunned silence. Things look good right now. Here are our talking points from the game:Our thoughts on the 4-2-2-2 and whether it looks like a plausible way for Bayern Munich to move forward in a post-Lewandowski era. How Sadio Mane, Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller, and Jamal Musiala work together to make an amazing front four system. What the current midfield setup offers to the team in terms of passing. Why Eintracht seemed practically bewildered by Bayern’s system in the first half, and the changes in the second. How Serge Gnabry has seen an incredible resurgence in form with the help of Sadio Mane. Why Jamal Musiala has changed the entire shape of Bayern’s offense. Dayot Upamecano’s resurgence and his excellent performances as of late. Concerns over pressing and defensive lapses in the side. Potential tests in the future, including games in the Champions League group stage. A final note on the strange fatigue gripping the squad at the 60th minute of every game. Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
