And every day the Murmel greets you… err… a former FC Bayern professional and current expert who takes on Munich coach Thomas Tuchel. Allow me: Markus Babbel.
At FC Bayern the tree is burning after the 0-3 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen. Hardly a day goes by in the media when coach Tuchel doesn’t have to face criticism. If the trainer then reacts to this, he is considered thin-skinned.
Now former Bayern player Markus Babbel has joined the chorus of Tuchel critics. The record champions’ bankruptcy in the BayArena was “not a big surprise” for him, he told “ran.de”.
Tuchel’s tactical adaptation to the strengths of the front-runner was “a sign that I am afraid. And FC Bayern is actually the club that spreads fear. But of course you signaled: I have extremely great respect for Bayer Leverkusen,” the 51-year-old criticized the coach.
Tuchel surprised in the top game with a 3-4-3 formation. “I’m always amazed at how people know so little about FC Bayern. Whether it’s Thomas Tuchel now, whether it was a Julian Nagelsmann before, they don’t understand how FC Bayern works,” Babbel also said against Tuchel Predecessor.
FC Bayern is getting “worse from week to week”
“You are in a top game where everything has to fit, where every cog has to fit into the other. And then I open the barrel instead of leaving the players in their old system when they are already not in 100% form “So that they have at least a little bit of security. I definitely couldn’t understand that.”
“It feels like nothing has been working for Bayern since the start of the second half of the season,” continued Babbel. “But of course Thomas Tuchel has also done a lot to ensure that one or two players don’t overflow with self-confidence. You have the feeling that they are actually getting worse from week to week.”
The 1996 European champion, however, liked Thomas Müller’s incendiary speech after the debacle. “Compliments to Thomas Müller, who never hides there. I was particularly impressed by the way he spoke. I think that was the last opportunity to wake up the team again because so much was wrong lies.”
