After the last few games, the pressure on Thomas Tuchel is growing.
He appears self-confident in a strange interview.
The reporter stumbles.
Bochum – Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel encounters the coaching question at every turn after the double defeat against Bayer Leverkusen and Lazio Rome.
A topic that normally trips up coaches suddenly causes problems for the reporter.
“Tight for what?” - Tuchel lets reporters arrive
Before the game against VfL Bochum, Thomas Tuchel was not only asked about his playing approach.
DAZN report Daniel Herzog wanted to know from the FC Bayern coach whether it would be “tight” and whether the pressure situation had changed again after the last defeats.
Tuchel, visibly prepared for this question, asks the puzzled reporter the counter question: “What would happen then?
Tight for what?” At first, Herzog cautiously formulated “maybe tight for Thomas Tuchel?
Tight for the championship?
Tight for the Champions League?” Tuchel snapped back like a shot from a pistol.
“For Champions League qualification, or what?”

Tuchel's second goal sits with the DAZN reporter
DAZN reporter Herzog didn't recover so quickly from Tuchel's second mischievous answer, which was probably a little off topic.
"No, if you're in Rome..." he started, and then continued with "so if you don't upset Rome at home...".
He didn't get around to finishing his question.
Tuchel interrupted with a short monologue, for which Daniel Herzog will probably thank him afterwards, because Tuchel gave him time to collect his thoughts and at the end he immediately provided an answer to his original question.
“No, that’s only in three weeks anyway.
There are still a few games to play until then.
Today away in Bochum, then at home against Leipzig.
We already have enough homework to do.
These are exactly the things that make no sense for me to think about right now.
I know there are whole shows about it.”
