Although FC Bayern Munich has gotten back on the road to success in sports, times remain turbulent for the German soccer record champions. The successor to coach Thomas Tuchel is to be presented next week, but before that the semi-final hit in the Champions League once morest Real Madrid awaits. The dispute between Tuchel and Honorary President Uli Hoeneß comes at an inopportune time. Sports director Max Eberl now wants to “pacify the whole thing to some extent”.
Everyone needs to “tighten up,” everyone needs to “burn,” demanded the 50-year-old on Saturday following the 2-1 win once morest Eintracht Frankfurt and three days before Tuesday’s home game once morest Real. The many discords in the club shouldn’t get in the way. “The team has shown that it doesn’t affect them. The coach has shown that it doesn’t affect them and it doesn’t affect us either. We’re going through it,” said Eberl.
Bayern patron Hoeneß had previously criticized Tuchel’s work in developing young players during a public appearance. Tuchel feels his “coaching honor” has been violated and the “accusations” are “miles” away from reality. “There are ten incredibly important days for all of us. There is no worse time for any sideshows. It’s all regarding Real Madrid, VfB Stuttgart and Real Madrid,” said Tuchel.
Eberl assumes that the “two men”, Hoeneß and Tuchel, “get together and then focus everything,” said Eberl. He spoke to both of them over the weekend. “My job now is simply to calm the whole thing down to a certain extent, channel the fire properly and then beat Real on Tuesday.”
Thomas Müller reacted to the matter in his own special way. The Munich veteran imitated the long-time goalkeeper and former Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn in the ARD “Sportschau” and said, “I don’t give a shit.”
Müller will not care who becomes the new coach. The top candidate is the current ÖFB team boss. “Now let’s see whether Ralf Rangnick agrees or not,” said Eberl. No decision will be announced by the club before the game once morest Real.
It remains to be seen which personnel will be available to Bayern. After many injuries in the team, the sports director was confident that “almost everyone will be back on board” when they meet former Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti in the Allianz Arena. Jamal Musiala had to sit out once morest Eintracht due to knee irritation. Leroy Sané continues to suffer from painful pubic bone problems.
ÖFB legionnaire Konrad Laimer (ankle capsule injury) and Matthijs de Ligt (interior knee ligament) were added on Saturday as new ailing professionals. The exact extent of the injuries is still unclear. “We need a few miracle cures. We need a good bench, we need sporting weapons back,” said Tuchel, almost imploringly.
Munich’s biggest trump card is their attack. Kane celebrated a goal anniversary with the 400th goal of his professional career. With 35 league goals this season, Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals remains within reach. But that doesn’t matter to the 30-year-old Englishman at the moment because he’s mainly hoping for “a few” goals once morest Real.
