The slap received on Saturday evening by Bayern Munich against RB Leipzig (0-3) in the German Supercup, left a totally groggy Thomas Tuchel.
Bayern Munich’s first official match of the season was to be an opportunity for the Bavarian club to calibrate themselves against one of their main competitors in the Bundesliga title race. Saturday evening, Thomas Tuchel’s men were thus opposed to RB Leipzig, as part of the German Supercup, but the meeting turned into a disaster for the Bavarians, crushed 0-3 by their opponents. Enough to leave the Bayern coach in shock.
Authors of an encouraging summer preparation and in particular marked by a memorable card (0-27) validated against Rottach-Egern, a very modest club in the ninth German division, Bayern Munich necessarily hoped for much better from this first outing against Leipzig. Questioned after the meeting, Thomas Tuchel had a hard time getting his head back. ” When I see the will, the enthusiasm and the form (…) that we had when we played against Liverpool, Monaco or Manchester City, it has nothing to do with what we showed tonight. It’s terrible because I can’t find anything anymore.”
Sorry for Harry Kane
And the former Chelsea and PSG coach to continue, almost fatalistic, at the microphone of Sky Sports : “ There is nothing to keep, the way and the result are terrifying. Visibly sounded, Thomas Tuchel therefore expressed his great concern for the future. ” I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such a gap between what we did during preparation and what we showed on the pitch. For him, his team is suffering from the same symptoms as last season. ” It’s like last season where we were puzzled and sometimes didn’t know what was going to happen. We came back to that and I don’t know why.”
Also saying ” sorry for (Harry) Kane who must think that (Bayern) haven’t trained for four weeks“, Thomas Tuchel hopes that his team will quickly regain their senses. New elements of response from August 18 on the lawn of Werder Bremen, for the first match of the new Bundesliga season.
