Tuchel can’t think of anything to answer this question

Because: A Turkish journalist speaks out, even speaks to the Bayern coach in German, and initially warmly welcomes him to Turkey.

Then the question that leaves Tuchel perplexed: “Do you know a Turkish word?”

Tuchel, obviously prepared for sporting questions, takes a deep breath, leans back – and has to pass with a smile.

“I definitely know a Turkish word, but I can’t think of one right now at the press conference.”

After a short thought: “You caught me off guard. I can’t think of it so spontaneously – bad of me, sorry!”

Then we continue with sports questions – and in Turkish.

At the end there is this pleasant scene: Bayern press spokesman Dieter Nickles ends the press conference and thanks the translator.

Tuchel steps in, asks: “What does thank you mean in Turkish?”, and immediately gets an answer.

From now on the trainer knows at least one Turkish word!
