Problems again for Bayern in a season in which there have been problems many times. Now it's Uli Hoeneß, who out of nowhere shoots at coach Tuchel. The Munich coach is so angry that he doesn't even want to have a clarifying conversation.
Despite Bayern's 2-1 home victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, a dense atmosphere reigns in Munich. The attention is once again focused on Thomas Tuchel, who, a few days before the important Champions League duel against Real Madrid, has a surprising exchange of blows with the club's boss, Uli Hoeneß, which he did not want.
Surprisingly, Hoeneß had harshly criticized the outgoing Bayern coach the day before. The coach then made it clear that he was not interested in arguing.
At the press conference after the Frankfurt game, Tuchel said: “There is no worse time for sideshows. “Now it's just about Real Madrid, VfB Stuttgart and Real Madrid.”

Hoeneß said of Tuchel at an event at the Frankfurter Allgemeine on Friday: “He has a different attitude. He doesn't believe he can improve on Davies, Pavlovic or Musiala. If it doesn’t work, you should buy another one.”
After Hoeneß's attack: Tuchel does not need a clarifying conversation
After the Bundesliga match against Frankfurt, Tuchel commented on Hoeneß's statements: “That is very far from reality.” Tuchel even admitted that he felt “his honor as a coach had been violated.”
Tuchel's anger with Hoeneß and his public attack became clear when the Bayern coach made it clear that he was not interested in a clarifying conversation with the honorary president of Munich: “No. In reality, this is so far from reality that I wouldn't have reacted at all if it hadn't come from Uli. The fact that he arrives from our boss four days before the game against Real gives him a different flavor.”
