Yes, the team needs to be gutted
It’s logical that Thomas Tuchel actually has to leave after three defeats in one week. It’s illogical that the club is still committed to him. Bayern is on the ground, the coach has been at a loss for weeks. And the embarrassment at VfL Bochum gave rise to bad suspicions.
Even if no athlete or team loses intentionally, they appear to have played – perhaps subconsciously – against their coach. Or at least not having accessed everything she can. It wouldn’t be surprising. Why should Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Thomas Müller or Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting tear themselves apart for a coach who repeatedly withdraws their trust, puts them on the bench or even publicly criticizes them? Especially since the titles are virtually out of reach for Bayern.
Of course, that would also speak in favor of restructuring the team on a large scale. Much more serious, however, is the fact that the Bayern axis is not only responsible for the decline of FC Bayern, but also for that of the German national team. If the best German teams wear out their coaches, if Hansi Flick, Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel despair of their players, then it’s obviously their fault.
It’s clear: Bayern has to gut the team after the season and get rid of the players who don’t have what it takes for Bayern (Choupo-Moting, Dayot Upamecano, Bouna Sarr) or who are responsible for the decline over the past three and a half years (Kimmich, Goretzka , Leroy Sané, Serge Gnabry, Manuel Neuer).
