Jonas Hummels heavily criticized Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel after the 2-2 draw in Freiburg - and also asked the question about FCB's immediate future.
Freiburg – Four dream goals and in the end no win for FC Bayern Munich: The record champions had to be content with a 2-2 draw at SC Freiburg.
Not enough to put serious pressure on league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the fight for the championship.
The Werkself are now seven points ahead of Munich, but still have one game less (as of March 1st).
Coach Thomas Tuchel completely at a loss after Bayern's draw in Freiburg
Coach Thomas Tuchel had to explain himself to DAZN after the game.
And he really didn't know why his team acted completely confused at times.
As he handed over his microphone and disappeared into the stadium catacombs, DAZN expert Jonas Hummels - brother of world champion and BVB star Mats Hummels - launched into a monologue.
It should be a Tuchel reckoning.
The analysis of the former professional, who also accompanied the game as a co-commentator, here in full:

DAZN expert Hummels and the Tuchel settlement on live TV
“So now I found him relatively clear in the interview.
So he addressed it clearly.
Otherwise I find him to be somewhat cynical and sarcastic, which I personally find funny because that's my kind of humor.
But as a player I don't know, nor as an official anyway.
If I were really, really angry, I would say: He seems a bit haphazard.
When he says that the central defender runs over the full-back, he is absolutely right.
By the way, we already said this above: After 15 minutes, they played as if they were 1-0 behind in the 85th minute.
But then I ask myself, why does this keep happening?
Why can this happen in an away game against Freiburg, who are coming from a phase where they have little success - of course they had this European Cup success to move into the next round behind them, but otherwise they are having a hard time - why in this way? a game can't manage to provide the structure itself?
Why do you have to wait until halftime to form a three-man chain?
To be honest, I don't understand that.
And about body language, as I said, he stays seated by the goals, everyone is cheering, he stays seated.
Personally, I don't like it, not at all.
We've already discussed that.
And yes, it was definitely the right decision to part ways at the end of the season.
The only question is what to do between now and the end of the season.”

So what's next at FC Bayern?
The new sports director Max Eberl is already looking for a coach, but emphasized before the game in Freiburg that the focus is now on the guest game in Breisgau and the Champions League round of 16 against Lazio Rome next week.

It's quite possible that Hummels' suggestion ("The only question is what to do between now and the end of the season") will then be more relevant than ever.
