Corrected by RB Leipzig (0-3) on Saturday evening during the German Super Cup, Bayern Munich is already worrying its supporters. Thomas Tuchel, appointed last spring, has his work cut out for him.
Even if it was only the first official match of the 2023-24 season, the German champion showed particularly worrying failures one week before the resumption of the Bundesliga. Before crossing paths with Werder Bremen on August 18, Bayern Munich lost heavily at home to an already very sharp Leipzig team. The Spaniard Dani Olmo offered himself a memorable hat-trick at the Allianz Arena (3rd, 44th, 68th sp).
Tuchel sorry for Kane
After this crushing defeat, Thomas Tuchel did not hide his dissatisfaction, especially since the Englishman Harry Kane was making his debut with the Bavarian club. "I'm just sorry for Kane, he probably thinks we haven't trained in four weeks. Our performance today has nothing to do with what we had planned for this game. It’s a very bitter evening”, recognized the Coach of the Bavarian Club at the microphone of Sky.
No one is spared
The former PSG technician did not hesitate to point out the attitude of his players. "It's scary, because I don't recognize anything anymore. Neither what we wanted to do in terms of content nor how we played. There is nothing to keep, the way and the result are terrifying”, he dropped after the meeting before confiding his concern for the future. “I don't think I've ever experienced such a discrepancy between our form, our preparation and what we get on the pitch. It is inexplicable for me at the moment (…) It was like that last season, where we were puzzled and did not know what was going to happen at times. We came back to that today, but I don't know why. There is no objective reason for this. It's mental, I have no idea why it looked like that," concluded the Bavarian coach.
