FC Bayern has been struggling for a long time about how to properly deal with the player Mazraoui after his post about the war in the Middle East and tried to do justice to all aspects in a statement. The professional is allowed to stay – and coach Tuchel is now relying on the special dynamics of a football locker room.
For a moment, Noussair Mazraoui was just an athlete. Things will be close for Joshua Kimmich, Thomas Tuchel said on Friday before the away game in Mainz, Kimmich was ill and felt “still weak”. The FC Bayern coach then presented further sports exemptions, “Nous is out, Serge is out, Upa is out, Rapha is out,” said Tuchel and for a moment placed the slightly injured player Mazraoui on the same level of importance as the players Gnabry (= Serge), Upamecano (= Upa) and Guerreiro (= Rapha). However, an accusation of trivialization cannot be constructed from this; Tuchel was asked about the personnel situation and gave his answer as the responsible sports teacher. Anyone who didn’t know this also found out that “Nous” was the player’s cabin name, Mazraoui. We would talk about the cabin later.
