The stress surrounding FC Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel and the experts never ends.
After Matthäus and Hamann, a Bayern legend is now accusing Tuchel of being thin-skinned.
Munich – The dispute between Thomas Tuchel and the experts seems to have no end.
At the start of the season, Lothar Matthäus repeatedly criticized Bayern's style of play, and in the fall
an argument escalated on
Sky in front of the camera.
Tuchel is
also in a constant clinch with
Sky expert Didi Hamann.
And now a third former Bayern professional is getting involved - Tuchel's expert Zoff is reaching the next level.
“That shows thin skin”: Strunz criticizes Tuchel’s treatment of the experts
Hamann recently described the Bayern coach as the “biggest misunderstanding since Jürgen Klinsmann”.
His subsequent apology fell on deaf ears from the Bayern coach.
“A line was crossed.
I don't believe him.
The things that happened were taken completely out of context and were said deliberately,” said Tuchel after his Bayern’s 3-1 win against fearful opponents Gladbach.
“Statements were deliberately made that were not true.”
Then ex-Bayern star Thomas Strunz followed up on the
Bild Sport
program on
Welt TV
: “All these discussions with the experts, like Hamann or Lothar Matthäus, show thin-skinnedness.
That’s not really sovereign.”

Strunz sees FC Bayern facing an uncertain future: “I don’t see any common thread”
Strunz also recognizes a reason for Tuchel's dealings with the experts: “Perhaps his behavior can also be justified by the fact that there is no longer any discussion about sporting matters.
All these discussions about trivialities distract a little from the actual analysis.”
But the 1996 European champions also don't shy away from criticism from FC Bayern: “I'm not convinced by the club's entire actions.
I don't see any common thread and I don't feel which direction things should go in the future.
Everything seems tough, unrounded, not fluid and not very inspiring.”

FC Bayern is too dependent on three players: “Otherwise everything seems very cramped”
For Strunz, FC Bayern is currently too dependent on three players: Harry Kane, Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala.
“These three carry the team and the game.
Otherwise everything seems very cramped,” says Strunz.
So it's hardly surprising that Strunz doesn't give his former club much of a chance in the top game at Bayer Leverkusen next Saturday (6:30 p.m.).
The 55-year-old is tipping the first team in the table to win 3-1 against “his Bayern”.
The Bayern bosses are also increasing the pressure on Tuchel.
