Lothar Matthäus criticizes the attitude of FC Bayern's stars - and makes a strange steak announcement.
Munich – FC Bayern lost the classic against Borussia Dortmund 2-0 last weekend. It was the first time in ten years that BVB won a Bundesliga game in Munich. Lothar Matthäus believes that the Munich team had enough quality resources to win the top game against BVB - and criticizes the attitude of the FCB stars.

Lothar Matthäus: “Heroes” have to tear themselves apart for FC Bayern
“If they had really wanted to, Dortmund wouldn’t have had a chance again,” complains Matthäus about the Bayern players on
Sky
, referring to the previous classic . The German football record player doesn't name anyone specifically. Thomas Müller was the first to break the great Bavarian Instagram silence after the game.
What do they actually discuss when they meet every now and then for a team evening? You shouldn't just eat your steak and drink a glass of wine, you should also talk a lot.
Lothar Matthäus takes on the Bayern stars
For Matthäus, what Bayern delivered against BVB was never worthy of the demands of a German record champion and record cup winner. In the end it was against BVB, the biggest competitor in recent years, Matthäus continues: “Half the world is watching. Not only all fans who come to the stadium for a lot of money can trust that their heroes will tear themselves apart for this jersey.

FC Bayern is playing its worst second half of the season in 15 years
The fact that the sporting trend on Säbener Straße has been downwards for some time can be clearly illustrated by the results so far. In the tenth game of the second half of the season in the Bundesliga, Bayern suffered their fourth defeat from BVB (5 wins, 1 draw). With 16 points after ten matchdays in the second half of the season, FCB is playing its weakest second half of the season in 15 years. In the 2008/09 season under the leadership of Jürgen Klinsmann there were also 16 points after ten games in the second half of the season.

For Matthäus, however, the negative developments have been going on for much, much longer. It hasn't been seen in the last half of the season that the Bayern players are giving their all for the club. Every few weeks, according to Matthäus, Thomas Tuchel's team would put in "inexplicably bad" performances.
Lothar Matthäus: “Don’t know what it means to work for FC Bayern”
To make matters worse, the same Tuchel who made four fatal mistakes against BVB, in the midst of his frustration after the mixed performance against BVB, also congratulated leaders Bayer Leverkusen on their championship. A statement that, according to
Sport Bild,
wasn't exactly well received
by the Bayern bosses .
However, Matthäus does not blame Tuchel, but rather criticizes his players.
“What do they actually discuss when they meet every now and then for a team evening?” asks Matthäus. “You shouldn’t just eat your steak and drink a glass of wine, you should also talk a lot. There are too many players in this team and perhaps people around them who neither know nor live by example what it means to work for Bayern Munich.”
