Flick's offside trap

[TemporaryFan]

I remember he played a high line with Bayern but was it THIS high? So extreme as with us? How did it go long term, obviously the first year they won everything but what about the second year? Did opponents learn how to exploit it? And in Germany NT?

I think Flick left for the NT, before they had any chance to come up with an antidote. Although, there were one or two unexpected losses with the mid table opponents.

To be honest, I don't remember that the high line was, at the time of Flick, ever discussed as such a crucial attribute of their dominance. Their dominance was taken for granted. After all, Bundesliga for a decade was called one horse race. They just crashed everyone, if not with tactics, then with their quality of players alone.
