“There have already been conversations with Flick”
The streak of eleven consecutive Bundesliga titles -He had also gone 11 years without losing in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16- Is in danger. However, Tuchel, according to ‘Bild’, is not in danger. At least for now: The former Borussia Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea player will sit on the bench against Bochum.

Worse than the results is the image. Bayern has gone two games without scoring. It also does not create danger. Against Leverkusen he recorded just one shot on goal and Against Lazio he was left without finishing between the three sticks. It is the first time that it has happened in the Champions League since 2019. The losses of Coman and Davies are noticeable. “We are frustrated and angry about the defeat. We did everything possible to lose,” ‘TT’ assured.

In Germany, however, there is already speculation about possible replacements for Tuchel. Cristian Falk, ‘Bild’ journalist, pointed to the return of ‘Hansi’ Flick: “There have already been conversations between the coach and Uli Hoeness. Flick feels flattered with Barcelona’s interest, but he follows closely what Bayern does.”

Bayern’s locker room is divided. Tuchel hardly has much support: Manuel Neuer: “We are the players responsible, we are the ones on the field,” said the goalkeeper.
From Germany they point out that three ‘heavyweights’ (De Ligt, Kimmich and Goretzka) have already conveyed to the club their intention to ‘change scene’ in the summer if Tuchel continues on the bench. “I was very surprised that he dispensed with stars with ‘Bavarian DNA’ against Leverkusen. If I were Tuchel, I would have trusted De Ligt, Kimmich and Müller. But not. He has been playing with a back four for a year and, when the team needs more security, he switches to a back three. “All the decisions he made were wrong,” affirmed Lothar Matthaus.

From within, Thomas Müller also questioned the performance against Leverkusen: “As Oliver Kahn would say: “We players must put more ‘balls’ into it. “It’s good to feel the pressure, but we lack energy and freedom in our game.”.
