Thomas Tuchel: Bayern Munich lack bite and must show reaction against Freiburg

The Hindu  

Bayern Munich’s shock German Cup exit to Freiburg highlighted their current lack of form, coach Thomas Tuchel said on Friday, as he demanded more bite when they face them again in the league on Saturday with Manchester City awaiting next week. The league leader suffered a 2-1 home loss to Freiburg on Tuesday to crash out of the German Cup in the last eight, with the visitor grabbing the winner with a second-half stoppage time penalty. “We recognise we are not in top form but are on our way there.” With two titles left to play for and a Champions League quarter-final first leg at Manchester City on Tuesday, Tuchel has no time for major fixes. We need to keep pushing, pushing, pushing because it is a tight race in the league and on Tuesday we have the next knockout match.” Against Freiburg, Tuchel will be without forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, whose knee injury flared up again.
