There is no peace at Bayern. The victory in the main match against RB Leipzig was followed by the next loss of points in Freiburg. Despite the again weak performance, the Bayern bosses stand by their decision.
In reality, those responsible had… FC Bayern I hoped that with the announcement of Thomas Tuchel's parting in the summer, there would be much more calm on Säbener Straße and the team would be able to play freely. Looking back at the last two weeks, this plan hasn't really worked.
After the 2-1 victory in the last minute against Leipzig, the Munich team made the following mistake. The record champions could not overcome the 2-2 draw against SC Freiburg last night. If Leverkusen beat Cologne on Sunday, the Werkself would extend their lead to ten points.
Bayern bosses follow the plan: Tuchel will also be on the bench against Lazio
More and more Bayern fans are calling for Tuchel's immediate expulsion. However, as Bild newspaper journalist Tobi Altschäffl reports, this will not happen. Jan-Christian Dreesen & Co. remain firm in their decision for Tuchel to stay until the end of the season.
In short: Tuchel will continue to sit on the coaching bench in Munich next Tuesday for the second leg of the round of 16 against Lazio. Therefore, those responsible are not willing to give up on their fundamental decision after a victory (Leipzig) and a draw (Freiburg).
But one thing is clear: the bosses are taking a big risk. FCB is in danger of leaving the premier class. Tuchel and his team have to recover from the 1-0 defeat in the first leg. A premature exit from the Champions League would not only be a sporting disaster, but also an economic one. Therefore, Bayern would miss out on almost 11 million euros in bonuses.
