Tuchel stands up for Sadio Manes, that's the coach's words for the Senate attacker.

At a press conference prior to the Hoffenheim game, the German coach has returned to talk about the scandal that occurred Tuesday evening after the match with Manchester City.

I wasn't there when the attack occurred because I was in the coach room. I talked to all those involved and those who saw the scene. It was important to explain, and we did so yesterday morning. Unfortunately, we're not the first team to do this, and we're probably not even the last”, Tuchel said.

I know Manen only as an absolute high-level professional. He has never done anything wrong before, and he still has my full faith. He's been apologizing completely openly, but what he's done is a lot, against the Code and Rules of Bayer Munichu. Everyone makes mistakes, but he remains part of a model and an example and I am his first defence attorney. There is nothing perfect”, continued former Paris coach Saint-Germainin and Chelsea.

Of course, a limit has been passed, but when it happens, it happens. However, I hope that in the green field we will soon see the real Manen”, Tuchel concluded.
