In FC Bayern’s embarrassing 1-0 home defeat against Werder Bremen, Leon Goretzka was only substituted after 64 minutes. The German international seemed correspondingly frustrated after the final whistle. He is currently not said to be happy under coach Thomas Tuchel.
Many Bayern fans were amazed when the starting lineup for the home game against Werder Bremen was published. While summer newcomer Raphael Guerreiro was completely unexpected in midfield from the start, Leon Goretzka initially had to sit on the bench.
In retrospect, the critics of this personnel decision felt confirmed: Guerreiro was one of the weakest Munich players, received by sport.de the horror grade 5.5.
After being substituted, Goretzka at least brought some physicality into the game, but was unable to avert the bitter defeat.
How dissatisfied the long-time manager was after the end of the game became clear when “Bild” asked for a statement. “Not today, sorry,” Goretzka dismissed the tabloid.
What’s more: The 28-year-old, who is rotated out of the first eleven surprisingly often under coach Tuchel, is now said to be “visibly frustrated” with his personal situation.

Lothar Matthäus can understand the DFB star’s anger. “The fact that Goretzka didn’t play from the start again isn’t good for the mood. The players can’t understand this decision either,” complained the record national player on “Sky90”.
If Goretzka does not return to the Munich control center soon, the former Schalke player could well have thoughts of changing, after all, he is also fighting for his role in the national team in the months before the home European Championship.
Goretzka’s working paper on Säbener Straße is valid until 2026.
