Real Madrid Coach Ancelotti Takes Different Approach than Bayern Munich’s Tuchel on Team Mistakes

[OSEN=우충원 기자] “Unlike Tuchel, Coach Ancelotti said it was “a mistake by the whole team.”

Bayern Munich drew 2-2 with Real Madrid in the first leg of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League semi-finals held at Fusval Arena Munich in Munich, Germany on the 1st (Korean time).

Bayern Munich, who failed to win at home, which they really needed to win, are under a lot of pressure in the second away game against Madrid who are scheduled for 8th.

Kim Min-jae, who had been on the bench for a while, started as a starter against the best team in Europe. Due to Matthias de Ligt’s knee injury and Dayot Upamecano’s ankle pain, Minjae Kim joined Eric Dier in the last series.

Minjae Kim had a disappointing result against Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich’s defensive line consisted of Eric Dier along with Kim Min-jae. I really regretted it. This is because Kim Min-jae contributed to the surrender of both goals. In the 24th minute of the first half, Vinicius came down to the halfway line to receive the ball, but quickly changed the path and went into space.

In this process, Kim Min-jae went up together to control the movements of Vinicius, giving him a wide space behind him. Toni Kroos sent a pass into this area, and Vinicius caught it and finished, scoring the first goal.

Kim Min-jae’s defense was disappointing even in the second goal. In the 38th minute of the second half, when Rodrygo ran with the ball, Kim Min-jae stretched his leg to block him. The ball was not touched and Rodrygo fell. Finally, a penalty kick (PK) was awarded. Vinicius took the kicker and finished the game.

Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel didn’t hesitate when asked about Kim Min-jae’s defense after the game.

It is true that Kim Min-jae is very interested in all scenes that comply with goals. However, coach Tuchel assessed Kim Min-jae’s comments as disappointing because they went beyond criticism.

Coach Tuchel said, “At first, Kim Min-jae was too greedy. In the first goal, Vinicius’ movement was left too far and Toni Kroos had already gone too far before he could pass. So I missed that move. Minjae Kim was too aggressive. The second is another mistake. We were doing well. There were more people and my colleagues came to help, but I was too greedy again. “I was too greedy in both situations,” he said.

This is in contrast to other players such as Manuel Neuer who avoided sniping in interviews by saying, “It’s not a particular player’s fault.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti had different views from coach Tuchel.

Bild made the comparison, saying, “Coach Ancelotti showed a completely different side after the draw.”

Bild said, “Instead of criticizing Andriy Lunin’s mistake when Leroy Sane scored, Coach Ancelotti said, “The whole team made a mistake. I will not criticize individual players here. “why we value it so much.”

Fans also say that they do not understand what Coach Tuchel said. Fabricio Romano, who provides European football news, shared Coach Tuchel’s comments about Kim Min-jae’s performance via his personal SNS. In response to the post, fans said, “It might be difficult, but if I were Tuchel, I would have defended Kim Min-jae here. It’s wrong to throw him under the bus in the media in every way.

Minjae Kim did not stop in front of the reporters who were waiting in the mixed area at Allianz Arena after the game ended. Germany’s ‘T-online’ said, “Kim Min-jae looked at his native reporters with a sad expression as he walked towards the exit. He only said one word in his native language his: ‘I’m really sorry’.” / 10bird@osen.co.kr
