Munich’s weak first half hour in Freiburg left the coach perplexed. Sports director Freund doesn’t want to talk about the championship after the 2-2 draw with Bayern.

Trainer Thomas Tuchel sharply criticized at least parts of his team’s performance after FC Bayern Munich’s 2-2 (1-1) draw at SC Freiburg. The 50-year-old said after the game on Friday evening that he had no explanation for the weak first half hour. “We played in the same basic order and asked for the same things,” he explained. “But the difference in body language and doggedness between the first and second half was striking.”

“The difference in the quality of our game, in the positional discipline, in the error rate” was also serious, said Tuchel. Munich could have been happy that they were only 0-1 behind after 30 minutes. He particularly criticized the fact that his team was “completely without structure” and “far too undisciplined” in their positional play in the first 30 minutes.

According to Thomas Tuchel, Bayern were deprived of their deserved wages

The second half was good, said Tuchel. There was a “completely different life there,” and everyone also acted “much more disciplined in their position.” His team “deservedly turned the game around” in the meantime. On the one hand, the 2-2 draw deprived us of the wages we deserved. “On the other hand, we missed so much in the first half that maybe we can’t wait,” said Tuchel.

“I don’t think it was because of the desire,” said Tuchel. “It was partly hara-kiri. I think we had phases in which our central defender ran behind the full-back,” the coach continued.

Christian Günter (12th minute) and Lucas Höler (87th) scored for Freiburg, Mathys Tel (35th) and Jamal Musiala (75th) for Bayern. In the table, leaders Bayer Leverkusen can extend their lead over Munich to ten points with a win at 1. FC Köln on Sunday. “We don’t need to talk about that tonight,” said sports director Christoph Freund about Bayern’s chances of winning another championship. “We have to make sure we bring in more consistency.”
