Tuchel raves about the Bayern star: “Exceeded expectations”
Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has praised central defender Eric Dier highly. “We are extremely happy with him, he absolutely exceeded expectations and made the most of his situation,” said Tuchel before Munich’s Bundesliga home game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday (from 3:30 p.m. in the t-online live ticker): ” From the very first moment he accepted the situation with great openness, enthusiasm and enthusiasm and is now getting the reward for it.”
After Bayern had to struggle with frequent failures in central defense in the first half of the season, Dier moved from Tottenham Hotspur to Munich in the winter as an emergency solution. Originally planned as the number four central defender, the Englishman, contrary to all expectations, quickly developed into a regular player.
Upamecano twisted his ankle in training – Gnabry returns against Real
Dayot Upamecano was injured in training. Coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed this at the press conference on Friday. The French centre-back is questionable for the game against Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday after suffering an ankle injury on Wednesday.
However, there was good news in the case of Serge Gnabry. The winger should be available again against Real Madrid. “He will play against Real and score! I don’t know whether from the start or as a substitute, but he will score a goal,” said Tuchel. The national player suffered a torn muscle fiber in the quarter-final first leg against Arsenal in the Champions League.
“We want to keep him”: Bayern’s dream player should stay
Leverkusen’s sports director Simon Rolfes has long-term plans with national player Jonathan Tah. “We want to keep Jona and extend him beyond 2025,” Rolfes told “Bild”. The 42-year-old responded to speculation about a change. Several media outlets had previously reported initial discussions between representatives of FC Bayern and Tah’s management. The 28-year-old central defender is under contract at Leverkusen until 2025 and is said to have no release clause.
There should be discussions after the season. “Now the focus is on achieving the maximum. And Jona thinks the same way,” said Rolfes. After winning the championship early, Leverkusen has the chance of a title treble. In the DFB Cup the final is against second division team 1. FC Kaiserslautern, and in the Europa League the semi-final against AS Roma.
