In a prior interview with 2-1 victory over the Eintracht Frankfurtthis Saturday (27), by Bundesligathe technician of Bayern Munchen, Thomas Tuchel“exploded” once and fired at none other than Uli Hoeneßone of the greatest idols in the history of the German team as a player and currently the giant’s honorary president.
Last Friday (26), Hoeneß participated in a lecture organized by the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and criticized some of Tuchel’s working methods.
“He doesn’t think he can improve players like Davies, Pavlovic or Musiala. If it doesn’t work, he asks to buy another player. I think you have to work hard with these young athletes and give them confidence,” said the former striker, who was multi-champion with Bayern during his playing days and also won the 1974 World Cup with Germany.
The Bavarians’ coach, however, did not like Hoeneß’s comments at all and hit back at the honorary president.
In conversation with the channel Sky Sports before this Saturday’s game, Tuchel joked that he was even “speechless” to respond to the manager.
“This statement is something so far from reality that… I don’t even know how to respond”, he said.
“These are comments that hurt my honor as a coach, because I think I have demonstrated in my last 15 years of work that young players, especially revelations from the youth teams, always had space with me in training and, subsequently, gained space on the field with their performances. “, he argued.
The “tail-breaker” takes place days before the most important match of Bayern’s season: the duel against Real Madridat the Allianz Arena, on Tuesday (30), in the semi-final of Champions League.
The European competition is the Bavarians’ last title chance of the season, as the club was eliminated early in the season. German Cup and the Bundesliga already have the Bayer Leverkusen as champion.
It is worth remembering that Tuchel has already declared that he will leave command of the German giant as soon as the 2023/24 season ends.
This week, Bayern fans created a virtual petition asking for the technician to remainbut he confirmed that he should look for another team.
According to an investigation by the ESPNO The commander’s wish is to return to work at a club in the Premier League English.
