What a surprise ! On Wednesday evening, a rather simple Cup duel awaited Thomas Tuchel’s troops. A trip to the pitch of the fifteenth in the third division standings, during the second round of the competition. And even if the German coach had rotated his team a little, there were still players of the caliber of Leroy Sané, Joshua Kimmich, Kim Min-Jae, Alphonso Davies, Manuel Neuer, Matthijs de Ligt and Mathys Tel present. on the pitch, not to mention elements like Jamal Musiala or Kingsley Coman who entered during the match.
It was obviously not enough, and Marcel Gaus gave victory to Saarbrucken with a goal in the 90th +6. A surprising setback, which logically causes a lot of talk across the Rhine. The hours following the match were particularly heated, and Thomas Müller, scorer for Bayern, particularly attacked his partners who did not go to greet the fans at the final whistle. “I would like to apologize to our supporters for the behavior of the team after the match. We should stay together and show you some respect.”he said on television.

“What is not acceptable at all is that only three or four players know how to respect the support. They came here, I don’t know how many 100 kilometers during the week. The most important thing is to understand, to give something in return. Of course, it doesn’t work like that. We will also discuss this internally, why our fans are rightly angry, regardless of the match. We have to show a different face, that we also show our fans the necessary respect when they fill the away block”, he added. A message that is already making the headlines in the German media…
Thomas Tuchel also spoke: “There are now 100 explanations, maybe none. It’s a bit strange today; It’s not that we were arrogant or that we didn’t give our all… We attacked deep in the second half, but then we had a bitter pill to swallow with the last shot of the game.”. The next few hours will be difficult for the former PSG coach…
