Tuchel Blasts Team as Bayern Look to Recover
Fans with Bayern Munich tickets are worried as their team is trailing behind in the Bundesliga, and manager Thomas Tuchel isn't happy.
9 months ago
The former Chelsea boss, who took over the reins from Julian Nagelsmann, looked like he had it under control in the opening weeks, but towards the end of the first half, Bayern was struggling to keep up.
In the 1-0 defeat to Werder Bremen, their opponents significantly outplayed the team, and Bayer Leverkusen, the league leaders, had the upper hand. This puts Bayern's league title defense at risk, and Tuchel expressed his frustration at his players, criticizing their commitment.
Despite an extremely successful Champions League group stage, Bayern Munich finds themselves in a vicarious position in second place, with much catching up to do.
The club is in danger of missing out on a league title for the first time since the 2011/12 season after winning it on 11 back-to-back occasions.
And the manager was furious.
While the fans with Bayern Munich tickets took to social media to express their dissent, Tuchel did not hold back his words. He delivered a fiery rant following the team's 1-0 defeat and did not leave anything behind.
'We will hold the team accountable. On Wednesday, we have the opportunity to do better – and we have to do better."
'If you play for Bayern Munich and have a game on Sunday, you don't have to be top on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday – but you especially have to be top on Sunday." he added.
We certainly weren't. We need to catch up to our demands!'
Tuchel further emphasized that the training sessions have yet to translate to results and rallied the team to bring in a higher level of commitment to training. He indicated that the team looks different from a championship-winning team.
The criticism from Tuchel has worked a little for the team as the team went on to bring in important three points against Union Berlin. It was not the most convincing win from Bayern, but the fans with Bayern Munich tickets breathed a sigh of relief at full-time.
However, several issues still needed to be addressed with the team.
One of the biggest pitfalls in the game was that Bayern could not get the ball into the dangerous spot. It limited Bayern's attack as the forwards could not get the ball to the right player inside the box.
Instead, the preferred mode was to take excessive long shots, which failed. Union Berlin did an incredible repositioning of the backline to exert pressure on Bayern, but Bayern will need to know better to overcome a 15-place team.
Harry Kane was in full swing at the start, scoring multiple goals in a single game. Now, he barely gets the ball.
Bayern needs players who make runs behind defensive lives. As a result, the through balls have been nonexistent.
Usually, Kane covers this up, but when Kane drops his intensity, the pitfalls are out in the open.
Then the question arises as to why Kane isn't getting the ball.
It is not an inability to create chances, but it has a lot to do with players constantly trying to shoot from outside the box.
It is damning that none of Bayern's wingers possess the ability to complete a cross. Kingsley Coman's disaster class in the Union Berling matchday saw him making zero crosses out of nine attempts.
Lero Sane was the same, but he did manage to get in some crucial dribbles.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, the forwards need to do one thing - find Kane. It always ends well when Kane has the ball and adequate time to make a decision.
After the ruthless prep talk after their recent defeat, it felt like the team struggled to get their chemistry right. The players did not show any firepower or passion that a fan with Bauern Munich tickets would expect to see, especially after a loss in the previous game.
Coach Tuchel made important tweaks during the game, such as the shift for Sane to the back and pushing Gurrereiro to the left back, and it worked, but there's a lot more to be done.
Bayern also did well to resist the never-ending Union press. But it was not the reaction you'd expect. A lot remained to be desired tactically because the team still needed a clear game plan.
Tuchel has work to do if he does not wish to remain on the hot seat.
FC Bayern Munich officially announced the signing of defender Sacha Boey, an aspiring youngster, on a long-term deal. The move enhances the squad depth and boosts Bayern's defenses.
Club CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen praised Boey's potential, including his display in the Champions League, and for his contributions to FC Galatasaray in winning the title last season.
The signing of Sacha Boey is strategic as the club is looking to build a squad for the future, and Boey's playing attributes come out as a pro-buy-in. Boey's quick and physically strong nature and ability to cover a lot of ground and contribute in defense and attack made Bayern chase after the youngster from the Turkish Lig.
Boey's status as a fan favorite at Galatasaray and his championship-winning experience were also noted.
The youngster expressed his excitement about joining a club like Bayern Munch. He described this moment as a dream come true and conveyed his enthusiasm to play alongside great players in the future.
Boey identified himself as a defender fond of attacking, showcasing his versatility.
Boey's proins are in Montreuil, Paris, where he started his football journey and joined the Rennes academy in 2014.
He made his senior debut in Ligue 1 at just 18 years. Following a loan spell at Dijon, Boey joined Galatasaray for the 2021/22 season, making 83 appearances and winning the Turkish Süper Lig.
