      Upamecano passes ball into Dortmund net from own half as ‘blunder for the ages’ gives new Bayern boss Tuchel dream start

      by

      DAYOT UPAMECANO’S punt from his own half gave Thomas Tuchel a dream start as Bayern Munich boss – as Borussia Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel turned the hopeful pass into an incredible own goal.With Bayern needing victory to leapfrog their big rivals at the top of the Bundesliga, Kobel raced to the edge of his area to fly-kick the ball away – but instead sliced it into his own net.
      Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel was in shock at his error as Bayern ran riot early on
      Kobe’s faint touch to Upamecano’s long ball forward was deemed an own goal, which only made the stopper’s embarrassment even worse

      Thomas Muller then netted twice as Tuchel’s new club raced 3-0 up inside 28 minutes.
      Kobel’s cock-up was labelled a “blunder for the ages” on social media.
      And he himself couldn’t believe it as he stood open-mouthed, staring upwards with his hands clasped behind his head.
      One fan described his mistake as “hilariously bad” and another said: “Are we supposed to take this league seriously?”

      Kobel’s intervention and Bayern’s subsequent goal-burst briefly took the spotlight off ex-Chelsea chief Tuchel.
      The German became a whirlwind appointment last week following Julian Nagelsmann’s shock sacking.
      Dortmund actually had more of the ball in the first half but Bayern produced six shots on target compared to none for the visitors.
      And Edin Terzic’s side struggled to recover from Kobel’s unlucky 13th minute faux pas.

      France centre-back Upamecano tried to thread a through-ball.
      But it looked harmless until Kobel took a swing – leading to a slight deflection off his right boot that led to the ball rolling the 18 yards behind him into the net.
      Ruling it as an own goal seemed harsh – and that decision will surely only make the Switzerland stopper feel worse. More

      According to Fabrizio Romano, the Austrian is keen on continuing his career with Erik ten Hag as his manager.
      However, his deal with the Red Devils does not include an option to buy and therefore it will be up to Bayern and Tuchel to decide if he will be sold.
      Under former manager Julian Nagelsmann, it had seemed that Sabitzer’s career at Bayern was over, but that could now change.
      The report suggests that the final decision will be made “around May/June” time.

      He has only been in the job for a few days and wants at least three or four matches to properly size up his new squad before drawing up transfer plans for the summer.
      But Tuchel is a huge fan of unsettled Mount who is in a contract stand off at Stamford Bridge.
      And there are already early suggestions the six-times European champions will approach Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly about striking a deal in the summer.
      There has been no contact whatsoever between the two parties so far.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Tuchel replaced Julian Nagelsmann last Friday with Bayern second in the Bundesliga – one point adrift of leaders Borussia Dortmund.
      Mount, 24, was one his favourite players during the German’s 18 months at Stamford Bridge.
      The player has just over a year left on his current contract and talks have stalled over a new one.
      Mount is recovering from a groin injury at present but is hoping to be fit for Saturday’s Premier League home clash with Aston Villa.

      At the moment he wants to shelve any distractions from getting back into the team and playing as many games as possible for Chelsea in the remaining two months of the season.
      Tuchel dropped him from his first game in charge as Chelsea boss in January 2021 but came off the bench with seven minutes to go and never looked back.
      He went on to play in six different positions under the manager and supplied the assist for team-mate Kai Havertz to win the Champions League for a second time for Chelsea in the 2021 final against Manchester City.
      Mount has been with Chelsea since he was six years old but with negotiations about a new deal struggling, rival clubs are circling.
      He has already been linked with Premier League rivals Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.
      Bayern Munich join Italians Juventus as a queue of European titans starts to form with time ticking away on Mount’s deal which expires in June 2024.
      If there is no resolution, Chelsea may well prefer to sell him to a foreign club rather than a fellow English team to avoid facing him in the Premier League. More

      But his contract expires in 16 months and he would be available as a free transfer if he does not extend his deal before the end of next season.
      And the Evening Standard report Tuchel, his former manager with the Blues, is among those looking at the star.
      The German was installed as Bayern boss last week, quickly after the shock sacking of Julian Nagelsmann, and has already set his sights on his ex-club.
      Tuchel, who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021, is also keen to bring in Blues coach Anthony Barry.

      The interest in Kovacic goes beyond just his former boss with Manchester City also believed to be a fan of the dynamic midfielder.
      The 28-year-old is seen as an important first-team player and has even served as Chelsea’s captain over the last four games due to absences of major stars like Thiago Silva.
      But manager Graham Potter and chairman Todd Boehly have big decisions to make on outgoings after the club announced a huge loss of £121m earlier this week.
      The London club now face a huge summer clear-out to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, having spend over £600m on new signings in the last year.

      Profitable homegrown stars like midfielder Mason Mount, Trevoh Chalobah, Conor Gallagher, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi are among the players who the club could potentially sell.
      But one squad member who is expected to stay is N’Golo Kante, who has not played a senior game for Chelsea since August.
      The Frenchman, who turns 32 tomorrow, has been struggling with injury for much of the season but could soon put pen to paper on a contract extension.
      He is on the path back to full fitness with some of his supportive teammates cheering him on at an U21 game earlier this month. More

      Bild states that the star’s family have moved back to England as Candice does not want to live in Munich and now splits her time between London and Manchester.
      However, she has indicated the reason for returning to England are due to issues outside her control.
      Bild claim the situation has left Sane having to regularly commute between the three cities.
      This season the former Man City star has impressed as he has scored 13 goals and assisted seven more in his 32 appearances in all competitions.
      German tactician Tuchel was appointed as manager of the Bundesliga giants after Julian Nagelsmann was sacked earlier in the week.
      The former Chelsea gaffer was handed a two and a half year contract by Bayern Munich and will reportedly earn around £10.55million per season.
      This is signifcantly more than his predecessor as Nagelsmann was believed to only be paid £7m per season.

      According to Calciomercato, the ex-Borussia Dortmund boss is already planning ahead for the summer transfer window and wants to start with two of his former Chelsea players.
      Mendy has fallen out of favour under the German head coach’s successor Graham Potter, who prefers Kepa Arrizabalaga between the sticks.
      The Senegal international has a contract with the West Londoners until 2025 but is among the lowest earners at Stamford Bridge.
      SunSport recently revealed that the 31-year-old turned down a six-year deal because he felt the club did not show him enough “respect” over wages.

      Kovacic, on the other hand, has a deal that runs out next year and Potter will be looking to make some space on his inflated squad after a busy January market.
      The 47-year-old head coach is a big fan of the midfielder but his contract runs out soon and that casts doubt over his future.
      Chelsea are also facing the prospect of losing highly-rated assistant coach Anthony Barry.
      The new Bayern manager publicly expressed his desire to sign Barry and have him reunite with his other assistants Zsolt Low and Arno Michels.
