Thomas Tuchel brutally 'singles out three Bayern stars' in training for criticism

Bayern Munich have only returned to pre-season training fairly recently but Thomas Tuchel is letting his players know all about the standards he expects.

Tuchel took the reins at Bayern in April following the sacking of Julian Nagelsmann and helped the club win an eleventh Bundesliga title in a row.

The latest triumph was anything but plain-sailing however as Bayern pipped Borussia Dortmund on goal difference on the final day after Jamal Musiala came off the bench to score a dramatic winner against Koln.

Despite the title, Bayern made huge changes at the top and dismissed both Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic straight after the season finale.

They are hopeful for a much smoother ride next season and the squad are already being put through their paces by Tuchel in Tegernsee, in the Bavarian Alps.

And according to Bild, the former Chelsea and Dortmund boss went in on a trio of players for their performances in the very first session as he demanded more from them in 31 degree heat.

Musiala saved Bayern at the death last season but Tuchel fumed at the Germany international for losing the ball while dribbling.

He also criticised Paul Wanner, just 17, for "sleeping" after giving the ball away three times.

Josip Stanisic was also under the microscope, as Tuchel told him he was "making too many technical mistakes".

The report also stated that Bayern legend Thomas Muller was irritated at one point, asking his colleagues "guys why are we stopping?"

It's not been a good start to pre-season for Muller, with Bayern revealing he has being suffering from muscular problems and therefore left the training camp to return to the club's headquarters for treatment.

Bayern haven't been massively active in the transfer market but have brought in both Konrad Laimer and Raphael Guerrero on frees from RB Leipzig and Dortmund respectively.
