Eric Dyer. /AFPBBNews=News1 Eric Dier (30), who left Tottenham Hotspur and went to Bayern Munich, made his debut. The team barely got a win over a team from a lower position.
Munich recorded a 1-0 win in the 13th round match of the German Bundesliga in the 2023-2024 season held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on the 25th (Korea time).
As a result of this day, Munich had 14 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in 18 games, with 44 points, defeating first place Bayer 04 Leverkusen (48 points in 18 games) by 4 points. Berlin, which is in 15th place, stayed in 15th place with 4 wins, 2 draws, 11 losses, and 14 points. They are 6 points behind 14th placed Bochum (20 points from 18 games).
Dier, who was recruited to replace Kim Min-jae, who was selected for the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, made his debut in the second half of the match against Berlin. Dayot Upamecano, who started as a starter, only played the first half and was replaced due to injury.
According to ‘Foot Mob’, a media outlet specializing in football statistics, Dier, who played 45 minutes, received an acceptable rating of 6.5. According to the media, Dyer recorded a pass success rate of 91% (40/44), one successful long pass, two clearances, one clear header, and one interception. Won one of two ball fights with an opponent.
With Kim Min-jae missing, coach Thomas Tuchel used a 4-2-3-1 formation. Matthias de Ligt and Upamecano were selected as centre-backs. Harry Kane, the Bundesliga’s top scorer, was at the top, followed by Kingsley Coman, Jamal Musiala, and Leroy Sane. Leon Goretzka and Josua Kimmich were placed in midfield, and Rafael Guerreiro and Konrad Reimer were placed on both defensive sides. The goalkeeper’s gloves were worn by Manuel Neuer.

He showed excellence in the midfield battle and increased possession of the ball. Their aim was to break down the Berlin defense with short passes.
However, the offense and the midfield players did not work well together. Kane was particularly isolated. The meaningless passes continued. Munich did not create any chances in the first half. The first half ended in a 0-0 draw with defense-oriented Berlin.
According to ‘Foot Mob’, Munich had a big lead in the first half with possession of 74 to 26 balls. Of the 344 passes, 242 were made in the opposing half. However, they struggled as they were blocked by Berlin’s tight defensive wall. As the ball continued to turn to the flank, only inaccurate crosses came out. In fact, Munich had a cross success rate of just 18% in the first half.
Berlin, who lowered their line to stop the Munich attack, attempted a counter-attack. The number of passes in the first half was only 91. There were only 15 long passes. The majority of the shots were long balls hit after seeing the space behind Munich.
Upamecano, who was suspected of suffering a thigh injury at the end of the first half, was replaced at the start of the second half. Dier, who joined Munich in the winter transfer window, will make his debut. He worked well with central defender De Ligt.
Munich scored the first goal a minute into the second half. Full-back Guerreiro fired a fine left-footed shot. Kane’s finish hit before the goal hit the post, and he split the net with a superb long-range kick.

In the 8th minute, during a Berlin counterattack, Dier cleared the ball with a daring sliding tackle. He threw his body out before the striker could catch the ball and block the counter attack.
In the 10th minute of the second half, Munich hit the net once again. Kane pushed in Sane’s pass with his left foot. Kane even celebrated his goal, but Sane was declared offside after a video review (VAR).
In the middle of the second half, when Munich was leading 1-0, both teams engaged in a battle of nerves. Sane and Berlin coach Nenyad Wieliša clashed in a throw-in situation. In this process, Coach Bielisha received a red card. He was caught pushing Sane’s face with his hand.
The game ended with Munich winning 1-0 with no further goals scored. Munich won in two games without Minjae Kim. Kane continued his scoring silence after the start of the second half.
Dier, known for defending Tottenham’s hole, deserved a passing grade in his Munich debut. Depending on the results of the Korean national team in the Asian Cup, it seems likely that they will be able to play for a longer period of time. Upamecano is currently suspected of having a hamstring injury.
Leroy Sane (right) clashed with the Berlin coach. /AFPBBNews=News 1 This was the second game after Kim Min-jae left out. Munich suffered a shock 0-1 defeat against Werder Bremen, the first game of the second half of the season. At that time, Munich lost and fell away from the Bundesliga championship. Leverkusen defeated RB Leipzig on the same day. Therefore, the results of the postponed games were important. Munich also narrowly defeated Berlin, reducing the points gap with Leverkusen to 4.
In the match against Bremen, Munich used De Ligt and Upamecano as starting centre-backs. The attack came constantly from the line of Kane, Sane, Musiala, and Coman. Kimmich and Guerreiro stood on the third line, with Neuer wearing the goalkeeper’s gloves. Alphonso Davis started as a starter but still performed poorly.
Munich increased their possession, but Bremen responded with efficient game control. Bremen attacked Munich efficiently. We targeted the space behind Munich with a quick offense and defense transition. When Munich got the ball, they quickly tried to press forward. In the 24th minute of the first half, Mitchell Weiser’s shot targeted the Munich goal. The goalkeeper Neuer managed to overcome the crisis with a save. The ball deflected off Davis’ foot and bounced high, but Neuer looked at it until the end and barely managed to hit it.
Bremen hit the net first. Bremen destroyed the Munich defense with one counter attack. Eun Jin-ma, who received Viser’s pass, had a chance to make a solo dribble break. He hit the ball alone on the halfway line, faced Neuer, and looked set to score the first goal with an accurate right-footed shot.
However, the final decision was offside. After VAR, the referee declared a foul on Weiser. Weiser was confirmed to have fouled Musiala when Bremen took the ball away. The first half ended 0-0.

It was different from the actual game. According to ‘Foot Mob’, Munich had a 64-36 lead in possession of the ball in the first half. The number of shots was the same, 5 to 5. Munich missed one big opportunity. The number of passes was more than double the number in Munich, 311 to 150.
In fact, Munich had difficulty reaching Bremen’s goal. Three of Munich’s shots were made inside the box. Bremen had 4.
Bremen scored first. Bremen scored the first goal early in the second half. In the 14th minute Weisser’s left foot shot hit the top of the Munich goal. Bremen opened the attack with a pass from the back area. He broke down the Munich wing with a long pass, and after Weiser beat Davis with his personal ability, he completed the scoring with a strong left-footed strike.
Coach Tuchel, who had a knock, tried to turn things around by using three players at the same time. Leon Goretzka, Thomas Müller and Matthias Tell came in. Guerreiro, Kimmich, and Davis came to the bench 64 minutes into the game.

Shake the pride of the Bundesliga’s top tier. Defending champions Munich also won the championship in the 2022-2023 season, dramatically beating Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals. Leverkusen’s pace is particularly fast in the 2023-2024 season. They are unbeaten in 18 games and continue to dominate the Bundesliga.
Munich have been battling for the lead with Leverkusen since the first half of the season. Before the start of the second half, Munich strengthened itself through a friendly match against Basel (Switzerland) on the 6th. In the first match, against TSG Hoffenheim, Munich won 3-0 thanks to Musiala’s multiple goals and Kane’s key goal.
In 15 games under Kim Min-jae, Munich achieved 12 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. The last defeat was against Eintracht Frankfurt in September last year, but they suffered another defeat at the start of the second half. During the match against Frankfurt, Munich collapsed significantly, conceding three goals in the first half alone. A big loss was the loss of the overall balance of the team. At that time, Munich used Davis, Minjae Kim, Upamecano, and Nusar Mazrwi as a back four. At the time, ‘Foot Mob’ heavily criticized Mazrwi, who had the worst performance on the side, giving him a rating of 4.5. Davis and Mazrwi were replaced as soon as the first half ended.
With the Bundesliga season still active, Kim Min-jae plays an active role as a key defender for Klinsmann. The final group match will be played against Malaysia at 8:30pm on the 25th.
