In the first half, Bayern had more possession and opportunities while Borussia defended compactly and looked to counterattack. Mkhitaryan and Kagava linked up well for Borussia. In the second half, Bayern increased their tempo and dominated with vertical passing and attacking play from their center backs and full backs. Ribery entered and Bayern attacked with 4 players. Borussia struggled to keep up with Bayern's pressure and tempo in the second half.

1. Bayern Munich - Borussia Dortmund -Bundess liga Klassiker or Test
Bayern is making a new model of game, one level more complexed then the tiki - taka model.
It is about attacking, polyvalent playing, based on extraordinary ability ofplayers to interact in
the game. If the new model develops successfully, it will mean that no team has ever before
been at such a high level of playing in terms of technique - tactics.
This time Klassiker is unique because only in Bundesliga, Bayern can try its play against a team
like Borussia Dortmund.
Bayern pravi novi model igre, za nivo slozeniji od tika - taka modela. Radi se o ofanzivnoj igri koja
se bazira na izvanrednoj sposobnosti interakcije igraca u igri. Ako se model uspesno razvije, to ce
znaciti da do sada u fudbalu nije vidjena ekipa na takvom tehnicko-taktickom nivou igre.
Ovog puta je derbi poseban zbog toga sto Bayern u bundesligi najbolje moze da proveri svoju
igru protiv ekipe kao sto je BD.
Because of the size of goals in football, the attack has advantage over the defense, and that is
the basic reason for an attacking play. The Bayern coaching staff is curently working on enabling
the attack to develop a better capacity to use the opportunities in the space for the game.
Zbog velicine gola u fudbalu, napad je u prednosti u odnosu na odbarnu, i to je osnovni razlog za
aktivnu igru. Bayernov strucni stab trenutno osposobljava napad da u sto vecem kapacitetu
koristi ( prepoznaje ) prednosti u prostoru za igru.
In the formation 3-4-3, Bayern wants to attack with 10 players.
That practically means that the oposite side has a dilemma not just about taking over the
players, but also about the ogranisation type of defense of the whole team.
Bayern is constantly looking for an attack by direct attack building the play from the back line -
by vertical passes and through long ball behind line. - Anticipation - by moving makes space for
a teammate; Being at a high level technically, it can control the play and build it up since phase
1 with central defenders; Individually, with Roben, Lewandowski, Ribery above all, using the
opportunity for penetration. The team is physically strong; Defense- able to oppose every style
of opponent play.

2. Bayern u sistemu 3-4-3, hoce da napada sa 10 igraca.
To prakticno znaci da protivnicka odbrana ima dileme, ne samo po pitanju preuzimanja igraca,
nego i po organizaciji vrste odbrane cele ekipe.
Bajern konstantno trazi atak. Vertikalnim dodavanjem. Anticipacijom igre, u isto vreme
kretanjem za saigraca pravi sebi prostor. Tehnicki na visokom nivou, moze da razvija
kombinatoriku igre, jos od faze 1 sa central defenders. Individualno, pre svih Roben, Riberi,
Levandovski, koristeci priliku za proboj.
Defanzivno fizicki i takticki spreman da parira bilo kojem stilu protivnika.
Borussia plays in the formation 4-3-3 (variety 4-3-1-2 or 4-2-1-3, according to situation in the
play), it takes the energy from the opponent in the game and makes its own counterplay.
The thinking of two midfielders ( Kehl, S. Bender ) is entirely defensive, even when they are in
the attacker half, while Mkhitaryan plays both defensively and offensively. The matrix of the
whole defensive system is to put pressure on the man with a ball in the 2/3 of the pitch, to
shorten the opposite team’s midfielders’ time for creating the game in terms of final pass, at the
same time actively preparing for a counterattack opportunity.
Due to squad changes, Borussia Dortmund no more has its typical fast attack, and yet its action
is fast and clear. It is clear due to Kagava and Mkhgitaryan’s skills and fast due to Reus and
Aubameyang’s fast running capability and Pisczek’s ability.
Borusija igra u sistemu 4 - 3 - 3 (4-3-1-2, ili 4-2-1-3 u zavisnosti od situacije u igri),
uzima energiju protivnika u igri, i od nje pravi svoju kontraigru.
Dva manevarska igraca Borusije (5) i (6) iskljucivo razmisljaju o defanzivnoj igri, cak i kada su na
protivnickoj polovini, dok jedan (10) igra sa njima i defanzivno i ofanzivu. Logika defanzive cele
ekipe je da pravi pritisak u drugoj trecini terena na loptu, kako manevar Bayerna ne bi imao
vremena da osmisli zavrsnu igru ( pas, ili ulazak u zonu suta), pri cemu sve vreme sprema priliku
za kontranapad.
Usled promena u igrackom kadru, Borusija nema vise njihov tipican brzi napad, ali njena
ofanzivna akcija je i dalje prociscena i brza. Prociscena zbog misljenja (Mkhitaryan, Kagava) i
brza zbog profila Reus, Aubameyang i sposobnosti Pischeka.
Ekipi BD odgovara aktivna igra protivnika.
FC Bayern Neuer - Benatia, Boateng, Alaba – Alonso, Lahm – Bernat, Robben – Müller

Prvo poluvreme
The first half
In the first part of the game (the first 15 minutes) Bayern has a ball and a plan of play. Above all,
the concept is based on the connection between Striker – Midfield and Centre-Backs by pass
penetration. The first chance for Bayern is the Lahm-Roben cooperation which represents the
neuron of the Bayern new play. The Bayern side with these attacker tools is dangerous for the
Weidenfeller.
But, Bayern is also cautious regarding the loss of possession and the fear of BD counterattack.
That is why Guardiola insists on the passlane with Lewandowsky and the anticipative play of
Miller with him. It is less risky.
Bayern ofanziva
U prvom delu igre (15 minuta) Bayern ima loptu u posedu, i ima plan igre. Pre svega je plan
zasnovan na vezi central defendersa sa napadacima i manevrom. Princip saradnje Lahm - Roben
po desnoj strani je neuron igre, oni su u napadu opasni po gol BD. Ali Bayern takodje ima jak
oprez od gubitka poseda i strah od kontra napada. Guardiola zbog toga insistira na dubini i trazi
liniju dodavanja sa Levandovskim, i anticipaciji Milera. Manje je rizicno.
Borusija defanziva
While Bayern plays a little bit cautiously with Alonso in phase 1, Borussia on the other hand has
a defensive structure. The structure is shaken when some players are late in settling in the
position for defense, and then Bayern has more time.
Obviously, the tactics is three midfield players, two behind the ball. After a back possession
Mkghitayan and Kagava easily progress with BD play.
Dok Bajern igra oprezno sa Alonsom kao pomocnim igracem u gradjenju igre, Borusija u
srednjem presingu na ispada iz plana. Problem nastaje kada dodje do kasnjenja u postavci, i
Bayern u manevru ima prostora za igru.

4. Jasna taktika tri vezna igraca Borusije, u kojoj je samo 10 zaduzen za misljenje u napadu. Posle
osvojenog poseda 7 Kagava i 10 lako nastavljaju igru!
In the second part of the first half, Bayern was looking for the key of BD middle pressing.
Tactically burdened Alonso ( modern sweeper ) and Goetze underperform. For a moment,
Bayern seems to have inactive thinking resulting in undetermined passing, and slight
disorientation.
U drugom delu poluvremena Bayern trazi resenje za srednji presing BD. Takticki optereceni
Alonso i Goetze imaju umanjeni ucinak. Bayern na momente nema aktivno misljenje u igri, sto za
posledicu ima nedeterminisanost u dodavanju, i blagudezorijentaciju.
Borusija tranzicija Mkhitaryan - Kagava
Borussia Transition - Mkhitaryan-Kagava
Borussia is defensively compact. Back four and midfielders are succeessful at reading the
Bayern attack. (Air ball, intercept). Three strikers parry well. They also have a chance to adjust
their first pass that slices midfield and separates the attention of the back line of Bayern. The
obvious link between Mkhitarian and forward thinking Kagava and strikers Kagava, Reus,
Aubemayang is active with the support from Pisczek.
The typical example of counterattack against Bayern, means they are the masters of this attack.
Borussia je kompaktna u defanzivi. 4 central defenders i 3 midfelders uspesno citaju igru. Trojica
napadaca dobro pariraju. Lopte u vazduhu osvaja Borussija, imaju vreme za prvo dodavanje koji
sece manevar Bayerna, i deli paznju zadnje linije.
Ocigledna veza u igri Borusije dva defanzivna vezna sa trecim veznim igracem (mkhitaryan).
odnosno Mkhitariana sa tri igraca koja ofanzivno razmisljaju; uz dodavanje Pisceka.
Skolski primer izvedenog kontranapada protiv Bayerna znaci da su oni majstori tog napada.

5. During the rest of the time in the first half, Borussia does not use the space and time to create
more chances. (Bayern midfield seams defensively weak).
Through Roben-Lewandowski-Muller and the three men attack , the Bayern side finds some
kind of orientation.
U nastavku poluvremena, Borusija ne koristi prostor za ofanzivnu igru, i bolju organizaciju
napada. (manevar Bayerna defanzivno neaktivan).
zahvaljujuci napadu sa trojicom igraca, Bayern uspostavlja orijentaciju.
Drugo Poluvreme
The second half
BD tactics – is defensive middle-pressing orientation, which means transition play. There was a
chance for Kagava, and beside this, other opportunities were weaker.
In the second half Bayern opened the cards of their play. Centre-backs with their capacity
organize play even from the attacking half. Lahm and Alonso think and move faster. The strikers
cooperate well. Guardiola seems like a man who absolutely believes in his project. His behaviour
and instructions free the players from the fear of making mistakes. The penalty area of BD is
crossed by the balls from the left and right alternately.
Taktika Borusije - defanzivna orijentacija, sto kod Borusije znaci prilika za napad. Prva takva
prilika dolazi za Kagavu, ali iz jedine prave akcije Borusije u drugom poluvremenu.
Bayern u drugom poluvremenu otkriva svoj prototip igre, i ideje koje ovaj tim ima u fudbalu.
Zadnja linija svojim kapacitetima organizuje igru cak iz protivnicke polovine, Lahm i Alonso
ubrzavaju misljenje i pokrete. Napadaci ni za trenutak staticni, rotiraju, saradjuju. Guardiola
Izgleda kao covek koji apsolutno veruje u svoj projekat, ponasanjem i instrukcijama oslobadja
igrace straha od greske. U 16 metara Borusije dolaze lopte sa leve i desne strane naizmenicno.
After several minutes the tempo is more intense. Bayern dominates in the second half. They
have a faster flow. Consecutive vertical passing puts pressure on the centre-backs, crossing

6. option, shooting from a distance, individual attack and the left side work as well. Beside that,
the Bayern centre-back in phase 1 is often deeper on halfway line. Players are IN the game.
When it comes to laps they continue quickly and are back in possession. Confidence is raised
with every single pass. They control the play. The mechanism that works.
In minute 70' Ribery is ready.We can clearly see the positive attitude of the coach who instructs
him, and they play with 2 wingers and 2 strikers.
With Ribery in the game Bayern practically plays with 4 attackers in the 3-3-4 system, and that is
football rarity. Bravo!
Borussia is a litle disoriented.
Posle nekoliko minuta jaci tempo napada, Imaju brzi protok igre, konstantan vertikalni pritisak
na zadnju liniju, opciju kroz centarsut, sut sa distance, opciju kroz kombinaciju po desnoj strani,
individualni proboj, funkcionalnijeg levog manevarskog.
Uz to, zadnja linija u gradjenju igre iz polovine BD pravi jak pritisak svim njihovim linijama
defanzive.
Svi igraci su U igri. Kada dodje do omaske nastavljaju i brzo vracaju posed. Igraju skoro bez faula.
Samopouzdanje se dize svakom napravljenom vezom u igri. Imaju kontrolu. Prosto se radi o
tome da mehanizam funkcionise.
U 70. Minutu Riberi je spreman - jasno vidimo koliko je trener pozitivan, daje mu instrukcije,
igraju sa 2 krila i 2 napadaca.
Bayern protiv Borusije ulaskom Riberija igra prakticno sa 4 napadaca u sistemu 3-3-4, i to je
raritet u fudbalu.
Without hesitation Levandowski shoots by his left foot. All 4 attackers take part in the action.
The constant pressure of Bayern forces BD mistakes. After that Ribery against Subotic - penalty
kick. Roben scores.
Levandovski, bez oklevanja, sut levom nogom. Konstantan pritisak Bayerna uslovljava gresku
igraca BD u odbrani. U akciji za gol su direktno ucestvovala 4 napadaca. Nakon toga Ribery protiv
Subotic, penal. roben postize gol.
Borussia second half balance
In the second half Borussia did not react sharply. After a break they were still using the middle
pressing-transition concept. However, the transition was not sucsesfull because of a lot of
defending work by Mkhitaryan, Piszcheak and Kagava . One good chance for Kagava who did not
score. As the time passed, Borussia middle-press was fatigue ( bcs of the Bayern passing game
level ). When BD started defending with 4 in the midle ( 65' ), there were still problems, because
of Bayern flow (two winger in formation 3-3-4) and control. In that period Borussia played
middle-press/deep zone defense, but without enough concentration in defensive, and bad
orientation in possession. The balance was concerned.

7. Borusija je u drugom poluvremenu imala priliku da bolje organizuje svoju igru. Prvu, u prvom
periodu drugog poluvremena kada je bilo jako vazno iz defanzive napraviti bolji protivnapad, i
drugu posle 80' kada je i Bayern malo zastao. Oni to nisu ucinili...tranzicija u drugom
poluvremenu nije uspela zbog ogromnog defanzivnog posla Kagave i Mkhitaryana, kao i
Pischeka.
Bayern veze u igri
Bayern - some basic network of play
Lahm-Alonso link central midfielder
Because of their abilities to recognize the play these two players are capable of realizing
Guardiola’s ideas.
Lahm - Alonso - pre svega zbog taktickog citanja igre, ova dva igraca su neophodna da bi se ideje
trenera realizovale.
Miler-Lewandovski-Roben-Ribery
Strikers anticipate pass in the space, but at the same time they make a chess mask to another
striker. In the first half ( 38') Roben does not pass a final ball to Levandovski who is running in
the open space, but Roben passes the ball to Miller, whose position is now much better because
of Lewandovski (draw out player move), so centre-back is out. (lead by him) In this way, the play
of Bayern strikers is difficult for reading by the opponent’s defensive. A three- men attack - yet
modernized.
Miler - Levandovski - Roben - Riberi - vazno je videti kako napadaci u igri kretanjem igraju za
saigraca. Na taj nacin igra napadaca je aktivna, ali i sahovska maska za saigraca. Roben tako u
prvom poluvremenu (38') daje zavrsan pas ne Levandovskom koji se kao prva opcija otvara
kretanjem u prazan prostor, vec Mileru kojem Levandovski otvara liniju tako sto odvodi
odbrambenog igraca iz tog prostora. Radi se o treniranoj interakciji, koja je u igri vec jasna-
prijemciva igracima. Napad sa tri igraca- ali modernizovaniji.
Centre-backs
Centre-backs often build the play and make the situation in the 2/3 of the pitch more complex,
when they step in. Bayern (4) in midfield has one player more, and when one of the centre-
backs became a midfielder ( Alaba ), the opponent had a problem.
In the phase of defensive, one of the midfielders is helping to fill the gap, if needed.
It should be noticed that in phase 1 Neuer is active too.

8. Bayern igra sa 3 igraca u zadnjoj liniji. U fazi 1 igre jedan od centralnih veznih igraca (Alonso,
Lahm) pomaze u tome, ali cesto i samo golman pomaze dvojici bekova. Bez obzira, 3 centralna
defendera su iznad nivoa dodavanja. Alaba, Boateng aktivno ucestvuju u napadu, i to znaci
mnogo veci izbor kombinacija.
U fazi defanzive citanjem igre veznih igraca Bayern zatvara eventualnu prazninu u prostoru
izmedju 3 central defender.
Leva i desna strana strana - potencijal u igri Bernat - Roben
Bayern has one player more in the midfield, most often on the right or on the left side. Any kind
of oponent pressing to the wide midfielders in 2/3 means that the opponent players left space
behind, which is risky.
No pressure, means enough time for the organisation of Bayern play.
Bayern ostvaruje visak u manevru, 4:3, najcesce po desnoj i levoj strani. Bilo koji pritisak na
spoljne igrace u 2/3 (Roben ili Bertran) znaci izlazenje defanzivnog spoljnjeg iz defanzivne linije, i
prazan prostor za Bayern, sto je rizik. Nema pritiska, znaci vreme za organizaciju igre bayernu.
The play of Roben is bivalent - as a winger when he comes deep to recieve the ball, and as a
striker when the central midfielder passes him the ball.
In both cases, Roben makes more time and space for his teammates. In the first case, one of the
opposed midfielders with full-back play is against him (2 defenders against Roben). That
moment is the chance for the anticipation of play. Lahm moves forwards and Muller and
Lewandovski anticipate (Bayern Munich neuron play), or find an individual attack solution.
Goetze has an option to change side with Bernat.
In the case when the left full-back goes strictly in pressing in 2/3, Roben plays an easy pass,
Miller and Lahm make a triangle, progressing to the 3/3 sector of the pitch.
Roben igra dvovalentno - i kao manevarski kada dolazi po loptu na svoju polovinu, i kao napadac
kada lopta od veznih ide njemu. U ta dva slucaja Roben pravi visak zbog toga sto jedan od veznih
igraca (5-6-10) ne ostavlja levog spoljneg samog sa njim, pa Goetze ili Lahm imaju vremena za
igru. Kada levi spoljni napravi pritisak, Roben onda igra jednostavan pas, Miler sa Lahmom
napravi trougao u sektoru, i ulaze u 3/3 terena.

9. Zakljucak
Conclusion
It possible to play midle-press defense with good transition against Bayern in the 4-3-3
formation. But Bayern is at an advantague, due to their attacking capabilities. It is hard to
sustain high level middle-pressure against technically high level centrebacks and technically and
tactically profiled Bayern midfielders. So, Bayern control s theplay, and theopponent must know
exactly what they are doing tactically if they intend to be dengerous. Otherwise, Bayern
controls the game and scores.
Protiv Bayetna u formaciji 4-3-3, srednji presing odbrana, sa dobrom tranzicijom je moguce
igrati. Ali Bayern je u prednosti zbog njegovih napadackih sposobnosti. Tesko je odrzati visok
nivo srednjeg pritiska protiv tehnicki odlicnih centalnih bekova i te-ta profilisanih igraca u
sredini. Tako Bayern ima kontrolu igre, a protivnik mora tacno da zna sta radi ako ima nameru
da bude opasan. U drugom slucaju, B kontrolise igru i daje gol.
The perspective of Bayern offensive play is obvious. It is hard to keep the balance with the
pressure from too many attacking weapons. Bayern players are in the process of recognition of
this situation. By now, they do not use advantages too often, because they need some more
time. But, the process is going well because of the players' awareness and their proper
response in the play.
When the ideas of the coach and their realization by the players match, the model of play will be
a new technology in football and many clubs in the world will try to copy it.
Of course, we will see how the developing model works on the "Mourinho test", or its official
promotion.
Perspektiva Bayernovog ofanzivnog modela igre je ocigledna. Tesko je odrzati ravnotezu u
defanzivi pod pritiskom nekoliko razlicitih nivoa napada. Karakteristicna posledica takvih napada
je iscrpljenost protivnikove sposobnosti defanzivnog citanja igre.
Kada se ideja trenera i realizacija igraca na terenu izjednace, model igre ce biti nova tehnologija
u fudbalu, i vecina klubova u svetu ce narednih nekoliko godina pokusavati da je kopira.

10. Razume se, kako funkcionise razvoj modela videcemo na "Murinjo test", zvanicnoj promociji.
