In an extremely dramatic way, FC Bayern secured their next championship title on matchday 34. Instead of celebrating this boisterously, the discussion about the booted out Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic dominates in Munich. In this context, Joshua Kimmich criticizes those responsible for the record champions surprisingly directly.
It was rumored long before the season finale that things could get tight for Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic at FC Bayern. In the end, those responsible even got down to business one day before the last game in Cologne kicked off and parted ways with the board and the head of sport.
Not only the public, but also the players did not know what was going on behind the scenes at this point. “I didn’t know. And of course that surprises you. That something like this happens on the day of the championship … I think you could have waited two or three days,” criticized Joshua Kimmich on Sunday during the celebrations Marienplatz the actions of those responsible.
Kimmich could not or did not want to judge whether the dismissal of Kahn and Salihamidzic was good or bad. “But it was funny when you secured the championship in a final like that and then got a message like that. Of course you’re a bit on the roller coaster of emotions,” said the international, complaining about the club’s timing.
Kimmich takes FC Bayern to task
At the same time, Kimmich wanted to look ahead again as quickly as possible. And there, after a disappointing season, there is even more work waiting for him and his team. “We have to get back to what sets us apart,” he told his team-mates and the club.
On a sporting level, according to Kimmich, the first full preparation under Thomas Tuchel will “do the team good, so that we have time and a certain amount of rest to study and build up automatisms and trust. Then I think we can attack again,” said the 28th -year-olds.
