Champions League - Tuchel: I find it difficult to walk past the cake
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel gave some personal insights the day after the draw in the Champions League. Although he is a perfectionist, he sometimes lets himself get carried away, the 50-year-old said on Thursday at the Ispo Munich sporting goods fair.
"I stay up late because I love staying up late, even if I know it's not the healthiest thing to do. Sometimes I'm drawn to non-healthy food after a game. Like yesterday, for example," Tuchel reported, referring to the 0-0 draw against FC Copenhagen the previous evening. "I ate a lot of small sausages with mustard and pretzels."
Tuchel is also often unable to resist the temptation of sweets. "Sweets are a big thing, it's very difficult for me to walk past the cake in the afternoon," admitted the FC Bayern Munich coach.
In the interview on stage in one of the exhibition halls, the 50-year-old said that the proximity between his home and the training ground was important to him. At Chelsea FC, he even lived in a house on the training ground for a few weeks during the coronavirus pandemic. In Munich, Tuchel revealed, he lives 15 minutes away. The closer he lives to the training ground or stadium, the nicer it is.
"I have the feeling that the older I get, the less I want to spend time in my car because it's annoying and there's so much traffic," said Tuchel. The car is the only place where he talks on the phone. His sister and parents know that too. "It's very difficult to talk to me on the phone because I never answer. That's why I only talk on the phone in the car."
When asked if he didn't want to be a politician in his next life, Tuchel laughed. He could never do that because it would bore him, said the former Paris and Chelsea coach. "I couldn't speak openly and it would feel like a constant press conference." And that is not his.

Sweets are a constant temptation for Tuchel, making it difficult for him to pass by cakes in the afternoon.

Currently, he lives 15 minutes away from the FC Bayern Munich training ground in Munich. Tuchel said he spends less time in his car as he gets older due to the traffic and annoyance. He only uses his car to make phone calls, as it's the only place where he can talk without interruptions.
