One defeat too many? Surprised by Bochum (2-3) on the 22nd day of the Bundesliga, Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich is sinking a little deeper into the doldrums. Now relegated to eight units of Bayer Leverkusen, solid leader of the championship, the Bavarian club is more worried than ever, just a few days before a decisive round of 16 return on the European scene. Defeated (0-1) by Lazio in the first leg, Harry Kane’s teammates find themselves, in fact, with their backs to the wall in the Champions League and the collective performance rendered by the Munich players this Sunday does not bode well. for the rest of the events.
Quickly ahead on the scoreboard after a goal from Jamal Musiala (0-1, 14th), Bayern Munich finally completely collapsed. Stopped in its momentum after the match was interrupted following tennis balls being thrown onto the pitch – the fans again and again contesting the arrival of an American pension fund in the Bundesliga – the Bavarian team collapsed, one after the other. , just before the break. If Takuma Asano equalized on a serve from Anthony Losilla (1-1, 38th), Keven Schlotterbeck gave Bochum the advantage on a corner from Kevin Stöger (2-1, 43rd). To make this disaster scenario worse, the Rekordmeister also had to do without the services of Noussair Mazraoui, replaced at the half-hour mark by Dayot Upamecano.
Thomas Tuchel’s mind-blowing analysis!
Helpless and a little more chilled by the pouring rain in the Ruhr, Thomas Tuchel could only note the damage. Despite the entries into play of Leroy Sané and Bryan Zaragoza, Bayern – who had crushed (7-0) their opponent of the day on September 23 – was sinking. Unable to return to this match, like Harry Kane’s lack of realism, the Bavarian team was finally once again betrayed by its defensive fragility… Having just entered the game, Upamecano, very feverish in recent weeks, began again at fault in his own area and left his partners with ten. Without trembling, Kevin Stöger was quick to increase his team’s lead and plunge Bayern a little further into crisis (3-1, 78th). Ineffective on the outskirts of the opponent’s surface, crumbly in his final meters, the current second in the Bundesliga logically gave up despite Harry Kane’s reduction in the score in the final moments (3-2, 87th).
Already eliminated in the German Cup, the Rekordmeister – under pressure in the Champions League – is now well behind in the championship. At the end of this fourth setback of the season (the third in the return phase), Thomas Tuchel delivered an analysis that was surprising to say the least. “Such defeats are not fair. A lot of things went against us today. The losses weren’t like the last two losses. Everything that could go wrong went wrong today. Today we must pay tribute to the adversary. We played differently than in Leverkusen and Rome. Bundesliga champion? Right now, it’s not that realistic. But last season we also hoped until the last second and it worked.conceded the German at the microphone of DAZN. Conversely, Leon Goretzka, stunned by this new disappointment, was more realistic: “It feels like a horror movie that doesn’t stop. Everything is going against us at the moment. In the end, we tried everything with one man less. We made too many individual errors. We need to question ourselves. The title ? I do not believe it at all. I prefer to be honest about it.”
Thomas Tuchel maintained, for the moment, in his post
Could this terrible dynamic cost coach Thomas Tuchel dearly in the days to come? If his dismissal was, until now, not an urgent subject for Bayern Munich, this new humiliation could, in fact, lead to damaging consequences for the former coach of Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain. Contested by supporters across the Rhine, in difficulty with his locker room, the 50-year-old German technician seems, today, incapable of redressing the situation. In recent hours, the German press did not hesitate to relay different names to succeed the current Munich technician. Jürgen Klinsmann, Hans-Dieter Flick, José Mourinho,
But according to the comments made by Jan-Christian Dreesen in Bochum, the German technician still retains the confidence of his management. *“I feel sh*tique. Today, mentality has triumphed over quality. I don’t believe in monstrous statements about coaches. This is not a problem we currently face. If he (Thomas Tuchel editor’s note) will be in charge next week? Of course”, retorted the Bavarian leader. Despite everything, Thomas Tuchel has concerns in Bavaria. Disappointing in the game, Bayern Munich will, what’s more, have to manage a schedule that is tricky to say the least. Opposing RB Leipzig next weekend, Mathys Tel’s partners will then travel to the Friborg pitch before hosting Lazio on March 5, in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League. It now remains to be seen whether this decisive European shock will take place with Thomas Tuchel on the Bavarian bench.
