After Lazio’s bankruptcy: Bayern Tuchel totally irritated after Lazio’s bankruptcy

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Things are not going well for Bayern at the moment. After the 0-3 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, they also had to admit defeat against Lazio Rome (0-1) in the first leg of the eighth finals of the Champions League. For the first time in five years they lost two competitive matches in a row.

Things didn’t look so gloomy in the first half. In any case, Thomas Müller believes that there has been a reaction to Leverkusen’s bankruptcy. “We had three clear chances, we have to do those things,” he told DAZN. But they are left out. And after the break the uncertainty returns. “It was a bit slapstick, the way we went from one mistake to another,” says Müller clearly.

Bayern’s lightness is missing

Coach Thomas Tuchel sees it the same way. “I don’t know why we’ve lost track so many times. We have done everything we can to avoid a backlog. The second half wasn’t good anymore.” It is also clear to goalkeeper Manuel Neuer that the team is currently lacking comfort and that a certain degree of uncertainty is noticeable. “We have to try to stick together no matter what,” he says. And hopes for a sense of achievement that can ensure that safety returns as quickly as it disappeared. “It is difficult to find the right words and the reasons why things happen this way,” Neuer summarizes, “but I can assure you that no one does it on purpose.”

It is not only the defeat that is worth talking about, but also the scene in which Dayot Upamecano steps on his opponent’s ankle and not only causes the winning penalty, but is also sent off with a red card. Tuchel analyzes that the action was not intentional. But: “That’s too wild. It’s actually enough to block.”

Tuchel’s devastating statistics

Upamecano will be missing from the second stage. And even though Müller believes that “we are just going around in circles at the moment”, he emphasizes that the team remains confident. “Who’s to say things won’t look completely different in three weeks?”

Things can look different on the sidelines. Coach Tuchel’s chair is shaking. Also because his stats are bad. So far, he has been on the sidelines of Bayern in 43 competitive matches, experiencing defeat ten times. That is exactly the same number of bankruptcies as under his predecessor Julian Nagelsmann – albeit in 84 games. No wonder Tuchel is asked at the press conference whether he is worried about his job. His answer: “No.” He doesn’t want to say more about it. “I’d like to talk about the game,” he says, completely irritated, as he declines further questions.
