Bayern Strikes, a German soccer media outlet, lost to Mainz on the 17th (Korea time). Defensive weaknesses were revealed. The high-line defense without Dayo Upamecano and Alfonso Davis revealed a vulnerability' Kim Min-jae struggled for cover, but Eric Dier's weakness was remarkable. A typical example is the 13th minute of the second half. Mainz attempted a quick counterattack, and Mainz's striker shot past Eric Dier. Bayern Munich fortunately pressed Kim Min-jae as he struggled to the end. However, the forward deployment of the defensive line revealed Dyer's lack of speed and revealed that the forward deployment was inappropriate when Dyer was present.
In addition, neither Guerreiro nor Dyer have the same speed and recovery capabilities as Davis and Upamecano. The high-line strategies they include in the 400 stand out for their weaknesses. Kompany's style of play was successful at Bayern Munich, but he said he needed the right players to do it perfectly.
Kompany raises the defensive line and puts pressure on Bayern Munich. It is based on the strong speed and athletic ability of Kim Min-jae and Upamecano. It can adequately cope with the opponent's counterattack and utilize a wide range of defense.
However, Bayern Munich lost to Mainz 1-2 in the 14th round away match of the Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at Meva Arena in Mainz, Germany on the 15th. Lee Jae-sung scored multiple goals.
Bayern Munich's defense showed weakness in Mainz's counterattack. Kim Min-jae started on the day, but center back partner Upamecano did not start. Instead, Eric Dier stepped up.
The problem was Dyer's falling speed. The defensive coverage was incomplete, and in the end, Kim Min-jae's burden increased. The media simultaneously pointed out the weaknesses of the Bayern Munich 400 and the limitations of Dier.
The media outlet said 'The defense was too vulnerable to counterattacks. The absence of key players and a tight schedule led to a defeat against Mainz. It can be. However, another defeat against RB Leipzig on Friday is unacceptable. Bayern Munich said if key players such as Harry Kane, Upamecano and Davis are still unavailable on Friday, they will have to make significant changes to their team strategy and player selection.
