After two bankruptcies in a row, FC Bayern are heading to Bochum for the Bundesliga duel.
The voices for the 22nd matchday of the Bundesliga.
Bochum – The 2023/24 season is slowly but surely turning into a catastrophe for FC Bayern.
After the bitter defeats against Bayer Leverkusen (0:3) in the Bundesliga title fight and Lazio Rome (0:1) in the Champions League round of 16, Thomas Tuchel urgently needs to make amends.
Against VfL Bochum (here in the live ticker) the Munich team has the chance to get their frustration off their chest.
We summarize the voices surrounding the game here.
Thomas Tuchel (FC Bayern coach) before the game on DAZN about ...
… the past few days: “It wasn’t nice.
Waking up after a defeat is not nice and you notice the many nights in the hotel.”
… his head: “He works in a solution-oriented manner.
The mind thinks about what we can do better, what is within our power, what we can do better, nothing else.”
… the coach’s question: “It doesn’t make sense for me to think about it.
One hundred percent not.”
… current goal drought: “The week is absolutely modest.
At the moment I think the mood is more like we're in the relegation zone.
I don't care.
We’re not going to ruin everything internally now.”
… Harry Kane: “He doesn’t need any special treatment.
He's been doing the things he's been doing for 15 years and that's scoring goals.
Of course we talk to him.
Harry knows how to deal with it.”

Thomas Letsch (coach VfL Bochum) before the game on DAZN about...
… his feeling before the game: “With a better feeling than in the away games.
There is always something special here.
The weather suits it.
It doesn't really matter whether Bayern or someone else comes.
We are excited and looking forward to the game.”
… the tactics against Bayern: “We have a lot of speed up front with Takuma Asano, Moritz Broschinski and Antwi-Adjei.
We want to play that out too.
This means that when we stand lower, we start switching movements.
At the same time, the three of them are really very intense in their approach.
That's not nice for any team and not for Bayern today.
That’s the plan behind it, we want to approach it offensively and definitely set an example with three strikers.”
… possible fan protests: “I have to say, it’s a bit annoying.
I understand protests to a certain extent, but it shouldn't get out of hand now.
Everyone knows about the opinion from the fansite.
In the end it's about us playing football.
We didn't prepare much for it.
We managed quite well against Stuttgart, but it's not like we've made a plan now.
For me the difficult thing isn't even the physical one, it's more the mental one.
There is a fan friendship, they should cheer us on and create a good atmosphere.”
