Comments on Bayern Munich vs Dortmund: Waiting for Tuchel's debut
In the past 4 years, Dortmund has often been inferior to Bayern Munich in the face-to-face encounters. More generally, the Ruhr team also often failed to stop the great rival Bayern Munich in the race for the championship silver plate in the Bundesliga.
However, in this season, things have improved somewhat for Dortmund and it can be said that they are holding the opportunity to overthrow their opponents in the championship race. Up to now, Reus and his teammates have played stably with 17 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses, and temporarily stood at the top of the table.
But it should be noted, Dortmund is only 1 point ahead of Bayern Munich and it can be said that the direct confrontation tonight will greatly affect the chances of winning the yellow shirt team. In theory, despite playing away from home, but with a stable performance unbeaten in the last 14/15 matches, Dortmund has enough confidence to win points in the German derby.
Back to Bayern Munich, they have just had changes in the position of head coach after the FIFA Days series. Accordingly, the leadership of the Gray Lobster decided to fire coach Nagelsmann when the young strategist was unpopular with the longtime pillars of Bayern Munich. And just a few days ago, they appointed the former Dortmund coach, coach Tuchel, to replace him.
There is no denying the talent of the new coach Tuchel, but the 49-year-old strategist still needs more time to adapt to Bayern Munich and is not surprised if he and his students will face many difficulties in tonight's great battle.
