Thiago Tactics - Why the Spain International is so Valuable to Bayern

Thiago Alcantara is the heart of Bayern’s play.
► Sub now: redirect.bundesliga.com/_bwCS
When you hear his name, you think of great assists, but the Spaniard’s game is about much more than that. Right now he’s a critical part of Bayern’s defensive plan. Or as Pep Guardiola once said, “Thiago or nothing!” Winning the ball back and starting attacks, he’s an expert in transition. We analyse the silky midfielder in our Thiago Tactics. Which part of Thiago’s game impresses you most? Let us know in the comments!

And this is why thiago is so good. Especially since when thiago went to Liverpool many were saying that he is not good enough cause he didnt have a single assist and this video very perfectly shows why even though its a year old. Thiago contributes so much defensively as well and most of the times sits deep and really is more of the "assist before the assist". And I'm not even a liverpool fan but man I love the way he plays.Really technical eligence at its finest👌👌👌

still can't believe that we've got him. he's a class above I was already getting excited about Keita finally producing consistently good performances and looking like the play we'd though we'd get and now this we have a bona fide midfield genius I can't believe this deal actually went through. Never in my years as a Liverpool Fan (dating back to 99) have we got our hands one someone who was already a superstar (most of our players became superstars while at Liverpool and moved on). It just shows that the stature of our club has increased massively under Klopp. Must say though Bayern were awesome to watch last year I think I'll be following them again this year along with Dortmund; of whom I will always be grateful for in that they are responsible for Jurgen Klopps ascent to greatness.

[@judasiscariot8396]

Thiago is beautiful to watch

[@androsc1418]

Q1 : Too old at 29? Q2 : Too expensive at £30mil? If he can help Liverpool win 1 EPL and 1 CL, please go back to the 2 questions again. He still have at least 4 more superb years at the top, if he is injury free.

[@bao5413]

29 imo is when most players reach their peak, i said most, of course there are players who peak at younger ages, but to me 29 is when you have the most experience and knowledge as a player, while your skill and fitness are still at the top of the game. it also depends alot on the position youre playing but for thiago, i think its a steal for liverpool to get him for just 30 mil

[@BazIrvine]
