The coach of Bayern Monaco, Thomas Tuchelsaid this Friday that the Senegalese striker Sadio Mané he acknowledged his mistake after attacking his partner Leroy Sanè– and that he apologized convincingly.
“I know him, I know his environment, I know he is a complete professional. I’ve never done anything like this. Anyone has the right to make mistakes, this was too much, even against the code of ethics bayern. She saw it like that and apologized convincingly,” Tuchel said.
“After that he was exemplary, showed his face and apologised. Sometimes you want those things to stay in the locker room, but that’s too much to ask.“, He added.
Tuchel said he was not a direct witness to the attack, which took place in the dressing room after the 3-0 defeat against Manchester City.
The important thing was to solve the case quickly and try to move on, according to the technician.
“Because it was something that concerned us and that it had been serious we had to sort it out before the next workout. With this we have cleared the air so that we can train together,” she said.
“We are not the first team to face something like this nor will we be the last. The way the two involved behaved afterwards had something purifying about it“, He added.
Mané has been excluded, by way of sanction, from the squad for tomorrow’s match against Hoffenheim and will have to pay a fine.
According to Tuchel with it the matter is resolved and it will only have consequences for this weekend.
The possibility of Mané being permanently dropped from the squad was considered in some media and it was subsequently said that Sané himself had come forward in his defense to avoid that extreme.
The Manchester incident recalls another one that happened in 2012 when, during half-time in the middle of a semi-final of the Champions League against Real Madrid, Franck Ribery punched Arjen Robben with whom he had previously had a falling out on the field.
The following season Bayern won the Champions League and the winning goal in the final, 2-1 against Borussia Dortmund, was scored by Robben from a pass from Ribery.
