The battle for the German championship enters the third and final round. Bayern will receive Schalke on Saturday at 3.30 pm, Gladbach will be a guest at Dortmund three hours later. Competitor Dortmund? Not interested in Tuchel.
“With all due respect, I just don’t know Dortmund – not at all,” the Bayern coach teases towards the Ruhr area. “We have it in our own hands. I’m looking at the finish, I’m looking at our team and I’m totally focused.” The former Dortmund coach says that’s the most important approach. It allows you to completely disconnect from what the others are doing.
Meanwhile, he made a harsh announcement to his stars: “Everyone should leave their personal wishes behind. We can arrange that in July, but not now. It’s the end of the season, it’s not an experimental phase.” Although the goals for the season were not achieved due to the early exit from the Champions League and the DFB Cup, the championship trophy is more than just a consolation prize. “We have to Win the German championship. We have nothing to lose. We are chasing the title,” said the 49-year-old.
One of the most discussed topics on Säbener Strasse at the moment is the personality of Thomas Müller. The 33-year-old was only substituted in the last two games and there was speculation about a possible summer departure. “Completely exaggerated,” says Thomas Tuchel. According to his trainer, it was good for the routine to do without a bit. With the words “he has fully participated in three sessions and is ready for tomorrow”, Tuchel also says that Müller will be used in the starting line-up against Schalke.
Schalke waves honor from the greatest enemy
However, Schalke will travel to Munich with great confidence. The last four games resulted in three wins, most recently they beat Mainz very dramatically with a penalty kick in the 102nd minute and shot themselves off the relegation places for the time being. Should the Royal Blues also score points against the German series champions, a great honor beckons from the greatest enemy of all time.
As Dortmund’s mayor Thomas Westphal announced this week, Schalke’s pros would have to sign Dortmund’s golden book if they win in Munich. “I would invite the Schalke team to the town hall for that,” said Westphal. Background: Should Bayern lose points against Schalke, BVB could regain the lead in the Bundesliga with a win over Gladbach. However, the animosity between Schalke supporters and Dortmund fans is huge. Today will be different. Dortmund will keep their fingers crossed for their nemesis in Munich. (byl)
