After the mistake in Freiburg, it is slowly becoming conceivable at FC Bayern that coach Thomas Tuchel will have to vacate his post before the agreed separation in the summer. Record national player Lothar Matthäus has now prepared a memorable farewell song for the head coach.
“What has been going on in the last few months is not Bayern-like,” the 62-year-old rumbled on “Sky” on Saturday. In his opinion, the record champions have long been in a toxic relationship with their own trainer.
Because Tuchel no longer takes anything into account in Munich. “But FC Bayern takes Tuchel into consideration!” denounced Matthäus. And that despite the fact that the deficits in the 2-2 draw against SC Freiburg on Friday were once again blatant.
“Nothing is intact there. Not because of the result, but because of the manner, because the result was flattering for Bayern,” said Matthäus.
Will Tuchel fly from FC Bayern after the Lazio game?
In Freiburg, FC Bayern once again suffered an inexplicable period of weakness and deservedly fell behind. After an interim increase in performance with two goals, they ultimately lost a 2-1 lead due to sleepy defensive behavior in the final phase.
Matthäus was particularly bothered by the fact that Tuchel again seemed incapable of criticism when it came to his own failings.
“Also the comments after the game: He always attacks the team. He’s actually always the one who doesn’t make a mistake, and the players make mistakes and you don’t want to hear that as a player,” said the 1990 world champion.
It is clear to him that the second leg of the Champions League against Lazio Rome during the week will be a fateful game for Tuchel.
“If things don’t go in the direction you want at Bayern on Tuesday against Lazio Rome, then things won’t go any further after Tuesday – with Thomas Tuchel. I’m absolutely sure of that,” Matthäus said.
There, FC Bayern has to overcome a deficit after the 0-1 defeat in Rome.
