FC Bayern, News: According to Lothar Matthäus, FCB stars “play for themselves
Record national player Lothar Matthäus continues to be critical of Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel despite the good performance in the Champions League quarter-finals at Arsenal FC (2:2). “One game wasn’t enough proof for me that Thomas Tuchel didn’t make the team – and one game wasn’t enough proof for me that he made the team,” said Matthäus at Münchner Merkur/tz.
Rather, what matters in the final spurt is the stars’ own motivation, Matthäus speculated: “There’s this pot of handles that shines, every player wants to feel this shine up close – in London in six weeks. Now, in the Champions League, the players are playing for yourself, for this team.”
Players like Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Matthijs de Ligt in particular would “play for themselves,” said the 1990 world champion, “because they want to go to the European Championships, they want to win the Champions League and they also want to be in good positions in contract negotiations.”
Matthäus therefore even believes that the ailing Bavarians can triumph in the premier class. “Why not? ManCity against Real is the early final, Bayern would face a team in the semi-finals that is perhaps even stronger. But you have seen what is possible when the spirit is there,” he said. In addition, “the one who prevailed from Arsenal, Bayern, Real and Man City is the favorite in the final for me.”
