Bayern Munich: Three factors that led to treble win

Game management has improved at Bayern Munich

At the end of Hinrunde, Hansi Flick had few things to work on to enjoy good results in the second half of the season. Improving game management was one of the areas which needed improvement, and he has successfully done that. The German manager showed in the biggest game of the campaign that he knows how to make an impact on the game from sidelines.

The introduction of Philippe Coutinho and Ivan Perisic against PSG allowed the German champions to close down the game and make it difficult for the French club to make a come back in the game. Changes from the bench have been effective since the restart. The players on the pitch have also shown great composure when the team is looking to see out the game.

It is a sign of a good coach when he can spot deficiencies on the pitch during the game and change the shape of the team or introduce players that will change the course of the game. Flick has rarely changed the shape, but it would not be a surprise if he does it in the future since he has multifunctional players in the squad.

Next season is going to be difficult due to fixture pile up, so Flick will have to be even smarter with his changes and lineups to avoid fatigue and injuries. There is enough evidence that Flick adapts with different situations, so we can bank him out to deliver success next campaign.
