It got loud during FC Bayern training: Leon Goretzka let his colleagues know that he was dissatisfied with them.
Are there other reasons for his frustration?
Munich - The sun shone on Säbener Strasse on Tuesday, but Leon Goretzka's mood barometer fell below zero for a moment.
“I'm going crazy here,” was the sound that rang across the training pitch when the national player was exhausted after his team simply lost the ball.
As
Kicker
observed, FC Bayern's midfield star followed up in English (translated): “That's crazy, come on!” A few minutes later it was loud again: “Easy, guys, come on.
Just play back, man!” he shouted angrily.

Goretzka expressed his displeasure with the actions of his teammates - in his self-image as a leader, this is to a certain extent his job.
But Goretzka has not yet really found the role of the undisputed driver on the pitch under Thomas Tuchel, as a review shows.
In the second half of last season, Goretzka gave his coach few arguments for himself.
In preparation for the new season, Tuchel rehearsed the duo Konrad Laimer and Joshua Kimmich.
Nevertheless, the 28-year-old played his games in the first half of the season and fought his way back with decent performances.

FC Bayern's leading player?
Goretzka is still looking for his role under Tuchel
At the beginning of the second half of the season, Raphael Guerreiro was given priority for the games against Bremen and Union.
Only when the thin staffing level no longer offered any alternatives did Goretzka play again against Augsburg.
The question arises: What standing does he have with his trainer?
A report is causing a stir:
Bild
is currently speculating that Bayern coach Tuchel doesn't have a good relationship with three of his leading players.
In addition to Thomas Müller and Joshua Kimmich, this should also be Leon Goretzka.
“There are sometimes these 51 percent decisions that go against you,” Tuchel recently explained about the role of his number eight.

“You don’t give me any energy”: Tuchel is said to have been disappointed with Bayern stars
According to
Sport Bild,
Tuchel is said to have accused his team in a recent speech: “You don’t give me any energy!” It will be decided in the next few weeks whether the FCB coach can write another success story from the current season.
For that he needs Goretzka and Co. – just because of their standing in the dressing room.
He is also worried about a phenomenon that leaves everyone perplexed.
