4 reasons why Robert Lewandowski will be Bundesliga top scorer this season

#3 The double pivot of Tolisso and Thiago

Corentin Tolisso is a combative midfielder

Corentin Tolisso plays the box-to-box midfield role for Bayern and as such, he is a very versatile player. He played a crucial role in Bayern's draw against Hertha.

He pressed aggressively against the opposition and retained possession for his team several sides. Afterwards, the Frenchman created a counterattack himself by charging up the pitch. He either directly played the ball to Lewandowski’s feet or gave the ball to Coman and Gnabry for the wingers to put crosses in the box.

Tolisso’s ability to turn defence into attack will be helpful for Bayern players to provide chances for Lewandowski up front.

Thiago's pinpoint passes can reach Lewandowski

Thiago is one of the best deep-lying playmakers in the world. He has the uncanny ability to play diagonal and cross-field passes with a high accuracy. These passes penetrate the opposition’s midfield and back line.

This allows Lewandowski to run in between defenders and receive one of Thiago’s long range passes. The Pole can put himself through on goal or play the ball out wide to Coman and Gnabry in order to overpower the opposition.

Ultimately, the steel of Tolisso combined with the flair of Thiago will lead to more goals for the striker.
