FC Bayern Munich has released a statement in which it clearly responded to statements made about head coach Thomas Tuchel.
Munich – It was a successful Bundesliga match day for FC Bayern Munich.
Their own game was won 3-2 at FC Augsburg and their opponent Bayer Leverkusen made a 0-0 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach.
So all is well with the German record champions, right?
No, not at all, because statements about head coach Thomas Tuchel annoy those in charge at the club enormously.
Bayern coach Tuchel visits the fan club
The FC Bayern coach visited a fan club the day after the Augsburg game and chatted with the supporters of the German record champions.
Fans asked him about his experiences abroad.
“Abroad will definitely appeal to me again, in general.” The coach finds the Spanish LaLiga “extraordinary” because it is characterized by “insane self-confidence,” replied Tuchel.
The 50-year-old also obviously likes the Spanish playing culture: “When you talk to Spanish players, you have the feeling that you talk to people very quickly and there are no empty phrases and no invisible wall,” said the FC head coach Bavaria continues.

In the “Sky90” program, TV expert Dietmar Hamann reacted to Tuchel’s statements and described them as “insolence”.
“Then he sits down and talks about Xavi, about the successor and that he would like to train in Barcelona or Spain,” said the former Germany international.
“Tuchel and Bayern Munich is the biggest misunderstanding since Jürgen Klinsmann.
“It doesn’t fit together and he knows that now,” added Hamann.
Jan-Christian Dreesen, CEO of FC Bayern, answered
tz's
question about whether Tuchel's statements were well received by those responsible at the club: "Oh, you shouldn't be so excited about it.
A trainer's job is generally never tied to a pension contract.
It's completely correct and okay for me if Thomas says something like that, especially since he didn't come up with it on his own, but was 'poked' about it in an open fan question and answer session.
I'm much more surprised at what was partly made of it.
That's going too far.
Thomas works for us with great passion and intensity.
He wants to achieve something with us – and we want to achieve something with him.”
FC Bayern reacts to statements against Tuchel
On Monday, FC Bayern Munich responded in a statement: “On Sunday, as part of a fan club visit, our head coach Thomas Tuchel was asked by the supporters about his coaching career and his previous experiences abroad at Paris St. Germain and Chelsea FC and gave information about it Conversation, of course, information.
He also answered general questions from fans about Spain as a football country.”

“He never spoke about Xavi Hernández and his successor, as was subsequently falsely claimed.
We will no longer accept such unobjective statements directed against our coach, which always come from the same place,” the statement continued.
It is unclear what consequences FC Bayern Munich would draw if “unfactual statements” continued.
