Nevertheless, Thomas Tuchel gave a surprising statement after the embarrassing defeat: – We are obviously disappointed. I don’t think we deserved to lose, but it doesn’t matter in the end. There were parts of the game when we were good, even parts when they were very good, but the same was missing in front of the opponent’s goal, where our passes did not reach the target. Now we have to explore what happened, it will take some time to digest this, but we have to learn the lessons.
Tuchel: Why should I be angry?
The quote from the official website of Bayern Munich comes from, which is a little cosmeticized on Tuchel’s sentences. THE Kicker this is what Tuchel said in his presentation: – I am very disappointed, but why should I be angry? We got a goal from a long shot and a penalty, otherwise I don’t remember a chance from the opponent. In the end, we made a mistake, which we are aware of. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.
In other words: there is nothing to see here. However, it was still a historic defeat, Freiburg had never been able to win in Munich against Bayern before (twenty defeats and three draws out of 23). Now yes.
And for Bayern, the situation is especially embarrassing due to Nagelsmann’s dismissal, since he was sent because, according to the management, he would not have been able to get everything out of the season, i.e. the treble needed a new coach. With the new coach, the chance of winning on all fronts disappeared immediately in his second game. In addition, on the easiest way, since against Freiburg at home, advancing in the cup would have been an absolute expectation. The upcoming BL quarter-final against Manchester City can only be more difficult than this.
Of course, Tuchel is right from his own point of view: why would he be angry? He has only been working with the team for a short time, so you can’t expect everything to work as he planned right away. That takes time. On the other hand, Bayern does not have any of that before the most important stage of the season. The only person who might be angry is Julian Nagelsmann, who was not allowed to finish the job, which, judging by the results, he didn’t do too badly.
