Finally another exciting title fight in Germany. Matchday 33 is almost here and Bayern are not champions yet. Now that seems to be putting some pressure on coach Thomas Tuchel. “In other years, Bayern won the title a long time ago,” he says.
Not sure about the championship On the penultimate day of the competition, it takes some time to get used to Bayern Munich. In the past, things often went smoother for the record master. Bayern has been champion for the past three years. In 2014, Bayern Munich were champions for nearly two months.
Indeed, only twice in the past ten years has the Bavarian team still had to fight for the title in the 33rd round.
In the 2018-2019 season, Bayern Munich still had to work hard even on the last match day. This can only be the case this season. Bayern Munich faces a difficult task tomorrow: a match against third seed Leipzig.
I tried to convince Arjen Robben to play tomorrow.
Bayern must start that match again without many important players. Neuer and Lucas Hernandez are still injured, and Alphonso Davies and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting have not yet regained their fitness in time.
To motivate more fit players, Arjen Robben showed up today at his former club’s training. “I tried to convince him to play tomorrow,” Tuchel joked. No, but every athlete can learn something from Arjen.
Bayern’s new coach feels pressure from abroad to win their 11th successive title. “In other years,” he admits, “the title was long gone.” “I don’t mind playing the champ from my seat.”
If Bayern themselves win on Saturday, they could be champions if Dortmund lose on Sunday. So it seems they want certainty in Munich as soon as possible.
