The dispute between Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel and the TV experts continues. Record national player Lothar Matthäus sees this calmly. Does everyone have the same opinion in the end?
Record national player Lothar Matthäus has “no problem” with the Bayern coach after the day-long dispute with Thomas Tuchel.
“Everyone has their own point of view and I think I’m trying to deal with it correctly,” said the Sky expert after Munich’s 4-0 win at Borussia Dortmund. If he is criticized, like Tuchel did the day before during a press conference, he accepts it. “If he was serious, then he can be serious. I can live with that.”
Irritated Tuchel
Before and after the top game, Tuchel reacted irritably to the criticism from Matthäus and Dietmar Hamann after the record winner’s cup exit at third division club 1. FC Saarbrücken. After the 4-0 win on Saturday, he had a verbal duel with Matthäus and Sky presenter Sebastian Hellmann at the Sky TV interview table.
“You have to put up with defeats like that,” Matthäus said later about the cup defeat. “You are criticized, and then when you win 4-0 in Dortmund, you are praised again. That is the football business. And it is part of it that we judge such games and results from the side in front of the camera.”
“We expect games like today from FC Bayern,” said Matthäus on Saturday evening. “This lightness, the compactness, these runs through the midfield at speed. That’s FC Bayern. If they don’t perform like this from time to time, then it’s also my duty and the coach’s duty to address it. The coach in front of the team and me here in front of the camera. In the end we almost have the same opinion.”
