Bayern Munich Coach Thomas Tuchel made a statement after the match in which they defeated Galatasaray 3-1 in the UEFA Champions League.
Here are those words…
“The Champions League is an arena that is the scene of very tough struggles. Galatasaray is a team that has proven itself in Europe and has been very successful in the past years. It was not very easy for us.
We could not reach the level we wanted in the first half. ‘Deserved victory’ for the first half. I can’t say. Because he played a very pressured game in front of Galatasaray fans. However, we recovered in the second half, and considering the 90 minutes, I am happy with the victory.”
“WE HAVEN’T LOSE FOR A LONG TIME”
Tuchel emphasized that he told his players in the dressing room that they should play more courageous and offensive football in order to achieve their goals in the Champions League, and said, “As a matter of fact, it happened. I am very proud. We have not lost for a long time. But there is no favorite in this match or any match. Because you have to work very hard.” “You need to give much more to react with the same seriousness and calmness against every opponent. Therefore, this victory made me very proud as a coach.” he said.
The German coach added that he formed his squad before the match with the expectation that Mauro Icardi could play.
