Thomas Tuchel, the manager of Bayern Munich, described his team’s performance in the 3-0 German Super Cup defeat to RB Leipzig as “frighteningly” bad, with hundreds of errors made.
Bayern Munich suffered a 3-0 defeat against RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup, with Dani Olmo scoring a hat-trick. This loss has left Bayern’s manager, Tuchel, concerned ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga season. The debut of their new signing, Kane, was unimpressive, adding to Tuchel’s worries after an underwhelming pre-season campaign.
Thomas Tuchel told Sky Germany: “The discrepancy between the condition, the form, and the mood with which we arrive and what we get on the pitch is blatant. That’s huge. I have no reason for it, it’s inexplicable for me at the moment.
“We have chances in the first half that we don’t make and give away the easiest goals – it’s just a complete continuation of the 33rd matchday of the previous season against Leipzig and the matchdays before. It looks like we didn’t do anything for four weeks, unfortunately, you have to say that.”
He added: “When I see the willingness, enthusiasm, form, condition, and mood when we play against Liverpool, Monaco or Man City, it has nothing to do with what we showed today. It’s frightening because I don’t recognize anything anymore. Neither what we wanted to do in terms of content or how we last played or trained. There’s really nothing to recognize. I say it again: the manner and the result are terrifying.”
Tuchel continued: “We’ll do an analysis tomorrow. We’ll find hundreds of errors, we’ll also find a few things that were good, but is that it? I don’t know if it’s a problem with the content, because we’re playing in the same basic order for weeks, with almost the same staff – it’s just the wrong frequency that we’re playing here. As soon as we have something to lose, it’s not the same group and that’s not good.”
Bayern’s performance against Leipzig and Tuchel’s tone suggests concerns, while Kane’s pursuit of silverware remains ongoing.
Tuchel’s side will face Bremen in less than a week and Kane, who recently joined the team on a four-year deal, will be eager to score his first goal for the club in that game.
