Only Twice On Duty, Thomas Tuchel Has Made Bayern Munich Lose The Chance To Win Trophy
JAKARTA - Thomas Tuchel underwent his second match as Bayern Munich coach in the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal or the German League Cup, Wednesday, April 5. Unfortunately, his task this time ended in disaster.
Bayern were eliminated from the event after losing 1-2 to Freiburg. In fact, they played at the centri home, Allianz Arena.
The hosts took the lead in this match. Dayot Upamecano defender broke into Freiburg's goal in the 20th minute.
However, that lead lasted only seven minutes. Nicolas Hofler managed to equalize.
Disaster occurred in the 95th minute. The violation made by Jamal Musiala resulted in a penalty and Lucas Holer successfully completed. The score 2-1 for the visitors lasted until the end of the match.
Tuchel puts up a body. He called himself the most responsible person.
"I'm not really angry. We conceded two goals from two shots. I don't remember any other chances from Freiburg," Tuchel said after the game.
"Empty and precision are obviously all problems. However, still, we had a good moment that we could take advantage of, but (we) couldn't keep it."
"In the end, it was our fault. We were very disappointed (loss) in the quarter-finals, at home. Of course, I am responsible."
Tuchel made the start of his career at Bayern brilliantly thanks to a 4-2 win over his old club, Borussia Dortmund.
The failure to step into the semifinals of the German League Cup clearly eliminates a very tempting initial impression.
However, Tuchel could avenge this defeat on Saturday. Bayern will travel to Freiburg for the Bundesliga match. Victory can bring them more comfortable at the top.
