After a fruitful preseason trip to Asia, Bayern Munich players arrived back in Bavaria on Thursday. The German team defeated Liverpool 4-3 on Wednesday to cap off a successful preseason tour. After joining the team in April, Bayern’s head coach Thomas Tuchel has spent a lot of time working with the players on the practice pitch.
After the preseason tour, the German coach will be more used to his players. The Die Roten players are now more accustomed to Tuchel’s expected tactical demands for the next campaign. After having more time to establish his ideology in the group, Tuchel will be expected to help Bayern compete on all fronts.
One of Bayern’s most impressive players under Thomas Tuchel has been Leroy Sane. After a volatile season, he had a great finish. The former Manchester City forward is anticipated to be crucial for Die Roten in the upcoming campaign.
The German winger is currently content with his role at Bayern under Thomas Tuchel. Sane praised Tuchel’s diligent efforts to move the squad closer to on-field success in an interview with Bild this week. The German winger believed that Tuchel’s belief in him has resulted in a successful season’s conclusion.
“I talk to him a lot. He gives me a very good feeling and I feel a lot of trust. I know myself that I could have scored a few more goals last season – there’s no doubt about that.”
“Thomas is incredibly meticulous about his work and leaves as little as possible to chance. He took over at a difficult time when things were turbulent around us. I’m sure that we are on the right track with him and that he is exactly the right coach for FC Bayern.”
Over the final five games of the season, Sane contributed to three goals and three assists. The German forward finished the Bundesliga season with eight goals and seven assists. Sane’s statistics in all leagues provide a positive picture: 14 goals and ten assists in 44 appearances.
Sane needs to score at least 20 goals and provide at least 20 assists across all competitions, according to Bayern. The German attacker has the ability to produce at this level in the final third, but over the past three seasons, he has had trouble maintaining consistency. The upcoming season will be very important for Sane because he has two years left on his Bayern Munich deal.
Bayern is still working on acquisitions that will enable Tuchel to meet his goals for the upcoming campaign. The winners of the Bundesliga are negotiating with Manchester City to sign Kyle Walker. Although there has been no progress in negotiations with Man City, the English full-back has verbally agreed to a deal with Die Roten.
Die Roten also wants to bolster their team with a top-notch number nine. Bayern’s #1 aim is Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur. Although the Bavarian club had constructive discussions with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy on Monday, the two organizations continue to place very different values on Kane.
