This Wednesday evening, Thomas Tuchel is expected around the corner. Indeed, Bayern Munich is counting on him and his players to put on a big home match against Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League (to be followed live with commentary on our site at 9 p.m.). Like last year, winning this competition is a goal for the residents of the Allianz Arena. But they failed last year against Manchester City. A first hiccup for TT, which had also failed to win the German Cup. He saved the furniture by winning the Bundesliga on the last day. Despite results that did not live up to expectations, the former PSG coach was always able to count on the support of his management, convinced that he was the man for the job and that he just needed a little more time. However, the first tensions appeared this summer. Several leaders did not appreciate certain remarks from Tuchel regarding the transfer window. They did not understand, for example, why he absolutely wanted to recruit an additional midfielder, in this case Palhinha (Fulham), when he already has quite a few players in this position.
Supported, Tuchel will have no room for error this season. He will no longer have excuses since he knows his group and has had reinforcements like Harry Kane. After 5 matches in all competitions (3 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat), the TT case is still being talked about behind the scenes. This Wednesday, Bild explains that a secret meeting was held at the Säbener Straße training center during the last international break in September. Bayern bosses Uli Hoeneß, Herbert Hainer, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Jan-Christian Dreesen were in attendance alongside Tuchel. They decided to reframe it without necessarily being harsh with it. But they gave him some messages. They insisted that he must be less emotional and above all less negative towards his club publicly. He must also not weaken his own players by criticizing them in front of the media. The management of Joshua Kimmich was notably mentioned.
