Thomas Tuchel FULL INTERVIEW: Working with Kane, Bundesliga title race, Sane, UCL & more! | ESPN FC
Sané's Resurgence: A Clicked Connection
Leroy Sané's improved form is attributed to a strong personal connection with Tuchel, clear communication of demands, and tactical adjustments, including switching his playing side. Tuchel emphasizes Sané's incredible physical power and potential to dominate the league, urging him to maintain consistency and decisiveness, especially with Harry Kane's presence aiding his link-up play.
Tel: Raw Energy and Untapped Potential
Mathys Tel is recognized for his significant impact as a substitute, possessing raw energy, physicality, and speed. While his finishing is outstanding, Tuchel notes Tel's struggle with patience for starting roles and the need for him to regain his initial 'mojo' and consistent attitude to fully realize his potential.
Müller: The Enduring Legend's Attitude
Managing Thomas Müller's reduced playing time is 'painful' for Tuchel, who deeply respects Müller's legendary status and unwavering commitment. Despite not starting regularly, Müller trains with the intensity of a young player, embodying a positive attitude and mindset that is invaluable to the team's spirit and culture.
The German Pressure Cooker vs. English Vibe
Tuchel contrasts the intense, critical German football culture with the more celebratory English environment after wins. He notes that in Germany, even success can be met with scrutiny, making it challenging to maintain motivation, whereas England offers more positive reinforcement, though he acknowledges the German mentality can also drive improvement.
Tuchel: The Hunter in a Tight Title Race
Bayern Munich is currently in a challenging title race, trailing Bayer Leverkusen by a point. Tuchel acknowledges the pressure, stating that Bayern has 'everything to lose' while their opponents have 'everything to win.' He emphasizes the need for thorough preparation and expresses confidence in overtaking Leverkusen in the second half of the season, while also noting the strength of other teams like Stuttgart and Leipzig.
Euros Excitement and German vs. English Appreciation
Tuchel notes a surprising lack of excitement surrounding the upcoming Euros in Germany, contrasting it with the fervor for the World Cup in Qatar. He feels more appreciated as a coach and person in England than in Germany, attributing this to a more critical culture in German football that can trap individuals in a negative perception. He finds personal happiness and a sense of appreciation outside the intense football bubble.
