“We did things that we have never practiced before”: After the 2-2 draw in Freiburg, the championship is becoming even more distant for Bayern. And Thomas Tuchel sounds like he can’t really influence his team’s game.
A week ago, Thomas Müller formulated a quite plausible theory as to why this season at FC Bayern might still be salvageable. “It is significant that we tend to have our better phases in the early stages and first halves of the games,” he said after the 2-1 win against RB Leipzig. This shows, he explained, that “there isn’t a tablecloth anywhere that’s completely cut.” He meant the one between the team and coach Thomas Tuchel, whose exit was already certain in the summer.
