As of: 11:51 a.m. | Reading time: 2 minutes
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 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 on Saturday evening.
If he is criticized, like Tuchel did during a press conference on Friday, he accepts it. “If he was serious, then he can be serious. I can live with that.”+

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.
…then you will be praised again
“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’s the football business. And it’s 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 after the record champions’ gala. “This lightness, the compactness, these runs through the midfield at speed. This is FC Bayern. If they don’t perform well from time to time, then it’s 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.”
“I do not drink alcohol”
However, there will be no possible private discussion between the two disputers. Tuchel at least has no interest in it. “I have enough to do in my job,” he said on Saturday on Bild TV. He usually doesn’t have private meetings with television experts. When asked whether he would drink a gin and tonic with Matthäus again, the Munich coach said: “I don’t drink alcohol during the season.”

He is “now asked about Didi Hamann and Lothar Matthäus every week. I don’t feel like standing in the middle and making comments. Today was the day to finally say that. I won’t go into it any further,” said Tuchel: “It’s good at some point, we understand it too. It was enough.”
