Matthäus after falling out with Tuchel: "I'm not angry with him"
Lothar Matthäus does not hold Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel's personal dispute against him against him. "I'm not angry with him, he's under enormous pressure at FC Bayern, especially after the elimination against Saarbrücken, and maybe that all played a certain role," said the record international footballer on TV station RTL.
"The next time I see him, I'll shake his hand, but if he doesn't, the world won't end for me either," added the 1990 World Cup winner.
Tuchel's comments to Sky pundits Matthäus and Dietmar Hamann before and after Munich's Bundesliga top match at Borussia Dortmund (4-0) last Saturday were bitingly ironic.
"We do our job, and he does his, and he can also criticize me," said Matthäus, "but in the end I expected more objectivity and not to break off an interview". The experts also make mistakes, "and we accept that and try to seek a dialog".
Despite the disagreement, Matthäus still looks forward to watching Bayern Munich's Soccer matches on Television, especially those in the Bundesliga. In fact, he mentioned that he particularly enjoys analyzing FC Bayern Munich's performances as a media pundit.
