Despite being in the lead, Bayern cannot win in Breisgau and suffer the next blow in the title race. Thomas Tuchel chose clear words about his players after the game.
2:2 at SC Freiburg – another mistake that FC Bayern Munich couldn’t actually afford in the title race. Because Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen can now move ahead to ten points with a win on Sunday against 1. FC Cologne. Bayern’s last, vague title chances continue to dwindle.
After Friday’s draw in Breisgau, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel answered questions from DAZN – and took a hard look at his own team: “We played completely without structure, far too undisciplined,” said the 50-year-old, particularly about the first 30 Minutes in Freiburg. And further: “That was partly hara-kiri,” said Tuchel.
“We weren’t in our positions at all, we started attacks when they didn’t start at all, we lost the ball while moving forward, we were invited to counterattack. We weren’t in our positions to have any control at all.” “We played very early, like it was the 85th minute and we were 1-0 down.”
When the score was 0-1 from Bayern’s point of view, he was the first to see that Freiburg had the opportunity to postpone the game: “But if we don’t talk to each other in that case and no one notices…” analyzed a visibly strained Tuchel . He “addressed everything. It was clearly the goal that we wanted to play here with a different level of emotion and doggedness. We actually only started it with the goal to make it 1-1.”
His team did improve significantly, especially in the second half: “We completely dominated and had many top-class chances to score.” The interim 2:1 was “deserved”. But: “In the end you can say: one half is not enough.”
