Change of coach? “No no no”
After the defeat in the Champions League against Lazio Rome, Bayern striker Harry Kane defends his coach Thomas Tuchel.
Things are currently anything but smooth at FC Bayern. In the Bundesliga, the top game was lost against Bayer Leverkusen, and there was also a defeat in the first leg of the round of 16 in the Champions League against Lazio Rome.

After the defeat in the Italian capital, star striker Harry Kane commented on the coaching discussion surrounding Thomas Tuchel and talked about how the problems should be brought under control.
“We as players have to take responsibility. For us there is only way forward – we can’t change this game so we have to look forward to Sunday’s game. All we can do is keep working and pushing each other,” he told TNT Sports when asked whether it was fair to blame the coach for the misery.
Kane defends Tuchel
In any case, the captain of the English national team doesn’t believe in a change of coach. “No no no. For us, the focus is on helping everyone. The boss is part of our team. We’re all in the same boat. As players we have to take responsibility. We are the ones on the pitch and we have to make a difference in the games.”

Kane himself had missed a good chance to score against Lazio in the seventh minute on Wednesday evening and was unable to help decisively afterwards. According to Kane, Bayern have a “really tough week” behind them. In the Brit’s opinion, in order to get out of the crisis, the people of Munich must, above all, “play with more freedom and energy again.”
“I think we did that in the first half,” he explained after the Lazio defeat: “But we couldn’t keep it up for 90 minutes, which is disappointing.”
Bayern needs to play with more energy
After the break, the record champions played “with less energy, less self-confidence” and also caused “too many ball losses”. “We need to take another look at this to see how we can improve this.”

Not an easy time for the 30-year-old and his teammates. “Things are difficult for us at the moment. But we have to stand together. The round of 16 is far from over, we’re still playing at home in a few weeks and we’ll be ready for that. We have to look forward and keep working hard.”
