As Bayern Munich faces a tumultuous season with manager Thomas Tuchel set to depart, scrutiny falls not only on the coach but also on key players like Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka. While Tuchel’s impending departure may serve as a catalyst for change, the performances of Kimmich and Goretzka have also come under intense scrutiny.
Despite their status as midfield stalwarts, both Kimmich and Goretzka have faced criticism for their performances this season. Kimmich, in particular, has come under fire for his role in conceding goals, with a notable incident involving Bochum’s first goal where he failed to recover the ball, leading to a verbal spat with coaching staff post-match. Similarly, Goretzka’s performances have been described as erratic, contributing to Bayern’s struggles on the field.
With Tuchel’s departure imminent, Bayern’s hierarchy will closely monitor Kimmich and Goretzka in the coming weeks to assess their ability to step up as leaders and take on greater responsibility within the squad. This represents a crucial opportunity for the midfield pair to prove themselves and potentially secure their futures at the club.
Max Eberl and Christoph Freund, tasked with evaluating the squad’s performance, will determine whether Bayern requires a major overhaul in the summer transfer window or if players like Kimmich and Goretzka can rediscover their form under a new coach.
The uncertainty surrounding Kimmich and Goretzka’s future adds another layer of intrigue to Bayern’s already tumultuous season. As the club navigates through a period of transition, the performances of these key players will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping Bayern’s future trajectory.
Ultimately, whether Kimmich and Goretzka remain at Bayern beyond the season will depend on their ability to rise to the occasion and prove their worth in the face of mounting pressure and scrutiny.
