5 Bayern Munich players who significantly improved under Jupp Heynckes 

#3 Corentin Tolisso

Tolisso is thriving in a more attacking role.

Corentin Tolisso played a crucial role in Lyon's Ligue 1 and Europa League campaign last season, earning a spot in the team of the tournament for the latter. Like a modern-day number 8, Tolisso is well adept in all aspects of the game. But his 14 goals for Lyon last season indicate an inclination towards the attacking side.

When Bayern's record signing arrived in Munich, like any other manager, Ancelotti was keen to test him. Tolisso started in the first six official matches for Bayern. While he was doing sound defensively, his contribution to the attack was limited to a goal against Leverkusen (which also came from a corner).

Under Jupp's style of play, with a defensive midfielder like Martinez guarding behind, Tolisso got the opportunity to make some forward runs. His passing efficiency improved many-folds within the attacking third and viewers got to experience his positioning brilliance and precise finishing. Tolisso's brace against PSG was a reflection of his increased importance to the team.
