München – In addition to Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala, Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich were also in the “kicker eleven” for the last matchday. The two players who ensured the final score of 8-1 in the resounding win against Mainz – Kimmich’s cross, Goretzka’s header. Goal. For Goretzka it was goal number four in this game.
The duo impressed in the 3-0 win against Lazio Rome. A duo that was previously not given the trust by Thomas Tuchel as the Bayern buddies might have liked. The same applies to the players Thomas Müller and Matthijs de Ligt, who have also been among the pillars of Munich’s recovery in recent games.

“A clear system can be recognized again”: Lothar Matthäus on Tuchel’s development at FC Bayern
“At FC Bayern we recently saw a clear system and a clear positioning. The players now know where they stand with Thomas Tuchel,” explains Lothar Matthäus in his column for “Sky”. It’s helping the players, as you can see from the results of the past games – but only since Tuchel’s exit became official in the summer.
Previously, he had paid little attention to players who he felt did not fit into his system. “He didn’t pay any attention to Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Thomas Müller or Matthijs de Ligt, but rather ignored them,” summarizes Matthäus.

The relationship between Thomas Tuchel and Joshua Kimmich is under strain
De Ligt, who was brought in as Bayern’s future defense chief for almost 70 million euros, suddenly no longer played a role. Dayot Upamecano and Min-jae Kim were mostly ahead. Although Thomas Müller was repeatedly praised “as a top player” in front of the camera, the so-called “Müller games” were far too rare under Tuchel – the original Bavarian mutated into a noble joker.
And Kimmich and Goretzka weren’t among Tuchel’s favorites anyway. Both were critics of the dismissal of Tuchel’s predecessor Julian Nagelsmann – both reportedly suggested that Tuchel be sold in the summer. Before the season, the Bayern coach publicly questioned Kimmich and his qualities as a clearer in front of the defense. The quarrel in the Bochum catacombs between Kimmich and Tuchel’s assistant coach Zsolt Löw, as well as Tuchel’s renewed public criticism after the Freiburg game, were the negative highlights of the strained relationship between Kimmich and the Bayern coach.

Matthäus: Tuchel seems to have found his “13, 14 players that he trusts”
Now Tuchel has made a change. “Clarity brings freedom. Freedom is always good, both for playing and for training,” said the record champions’ outgoing coach in February after his departure was a done deal. “When making decisions, you no longer need to consider what the long-term effects will be.”
And the current Munich coach promptly found his axis and his system at Bayern. “Tuchel took a long time to make many decisions. Now he seems to have found the 13 or 14 players he trusts,” writes Matthäus in his column.
Lothar Matthäus: Fans want to see players like Thomas Müller play at FC Bayern
These include defense chief de Ligt, Kimmich, who is currently playing the role of right-back, midfield chief Goretzka and Müller, for whom the “Müller games” are finally taking place on the pitch. “These players tear themselves apart for the club, they always want to give their best and the fans want to see these players,” said Matthäus. “Experience, character, passion, faith, cooperation and professionalism are important.”
“He may have said to the team: You play and you do. Maybe he saw that,” ex-Bayern professional Dietmar Hamann recently speculated on “Sky 90”: “Why not before?” Former international Dennis Aogo added appropriately: “It shows that Tuchel reflects himself and perhaps he also listened to the players.” However, this realization comes too late for Tuchel; it will end in the summer. These personal details may have even cost the Bayern coach his job in the end.
