Tuchel’s ideas were no longer transmitting. He’d stopped getting through. It probably didn’t help that some of the players had been talking about his private life, and how he had a younger girlfriend as his marriage fell apart. It might be trivial but it played into how the perception of him transformed. He was no longer the genius who came in and delivered them to the Champions League. He was a difficult character, whose demands weren't always clear. A number of players bristled that he didn’t really trust them.
