  • Bayern Munich began their preseason with a friendly against FC Rottach-Egern
  • The Bavarians stunned the ninth-tier German side 27-0
  • Coach, Thomas Tuchel has come out to express his dissatisfaction following his side’s win

Bayern Munich lit up with fireworks what is believed to be the start of a redemption season.

The German champions made light work of neighbours and ninth-division side Rottach-Egern, putting an emphatic 27 goals past their opponents on the night.

Though the scoreline raised eyebrows and sent shivers down the spines of many, perhaps Barcelona fans, it was the words of head coach, Thomas Tuchel that garnered the most attention.

Tuchel speaks on Bayern’s win

Tuchel was not at all pleased with the team’s display on the night. Despite the stream of goals he was treated to from the touchline, it was the details of the little mistakes his team made that left the German tactician frustrated.

Speaking in the post-match conference, Tuchels is quoted by @MunichFanpage on Twitter to have said:

"We won 27-0 but I’m not entirely satisfied with the result. We could’ve scored more goals. The 2nd half wasn’t the best."

Many have reacted to the words of the former Chelsea manager with confusion, given it was the team's first proper run-out following their summer holidays.

The Bayern boss did name a supremely strong starting team considering the occasion, as the likes of Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry, and Joshua Kimmich all featured.

There is hope that Bayern Munich fans will experience a better season as the club recently completed the signing of Napoli’s Scudetto-winning defender, Kim Min-jae.

The South Korean comes in as a welcome addition to help strengthen a defence that had its shaky moments last season.

The former Napoli man was signed in a deal in the region of 50 million euros (£43m), per reports from the BBC.

Tottenham reject Bayern's second bid

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Bayern Munich’s bid to sign Harry Kane this summer from Tottenham Hotspur is proving more difficult than they may have anticipated.

Bayern had an offer of €60m plus add-ons to sign Kane rejected by Tottenham last month. Now the Bundesliga champions have returned with an improved deal.

The Bavarians have made an improved offer of €80m for the 29-year-old forward, as they are keen to bring the English forward to the Allianz Arena this summer.
