How can João Palhinha improve Bayern Munich?
João Palhinha ticks a lot of the boxes in terms of what Bayern Munich requires from a defensive midfielder
Sound spatial awareness
In addition to offering physicality and robust tackling to shield the back four, Palhinha possesses excellent recovery ability along with a keen sense of spatial awareness. With his 6ft. 3 in. frame, he also wins most of his aerial duels.
Those qualities have made him quite adept at providing cover for any member of the defensive unit. These defensive qualities could go a long way in terms of mitigating any disconnect between defense and midfield for Rekordmeister.
