"I would be furious"
Lothar Matthäus interferes in Bayern spat
Things are not going well at FC Bayern. After Honorary President Uli Hoeneß publicly criticized coach Thomas Tuchel and the latter defended himself against the accusations, expert Lothar Matthäus has now joined the discussion.
Background: Hoeneß had been quoted by a panel discussion of the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" as saying that Tuchel "has a different attitude. He doesn't think he can improve (Alphonso) Davies, (Aleksandar) Pavlovic or (Jamal) Musiala. If it doesn't work out, you should buy someone else." Hoeneß, on the other hand, said that "you should work hard on them and give them self-confidence".
These were statements that Tuchel could not accept, as the outgoing coach countered that the criticism was "miles away from reality". The 50-year-old felt his coaching honor had been violated.
Understandable, as Matthäus finds. "An unnecessary statement from Uli. I don't understand it," said the former Bayern professional on Sky. "Nobody needs these headlines and Thomas Tuchel is rightly annoyed, to put it bluntly. I'd be furious, that's not on."
