Bryan Zaragoza reveals bizarre reason of Thomas Tuchel not playing him

After yesterday's thrilling match against Switzerland, Bryan Zaragoza addressed the media and made it very apparent to Bayern Munich what he wanted them to do. The 2024 season has ended flawlessly for the Spanish national football team. Bryan Zaragoza's penalty in the last minute gave them a three-to-two victory over Switzerland. 

The match appeared to be headed to a tie, but the spot-kick, which he earned himself, shattered the impasse. Since leaving Germany, the winger has received his first call-up alongside Luis de la Fuente while on loan with Osasuna from Bayern Munich, and it appears that the results are now showing.

Prior to the UEFA Champions League semi final last year, Thomas Tuchel, the former Bayern Munich head coach, was harsh at a press conference. He reaffirmed that Bryan Zaragoza needs to fit in with the team and its ethos when questioned about his little playing time in the Santiago Bernabéu. Tuchel had said, . "He doesn't understand the language. It's difficult for him in both German and English, and that's essential. We expedited his signing to give him time to adjust. I knew it was going to be a significant step for him."

“Football is played with your feet” : Bryan Zaragoza

Zaragoza gave a fitting reply to this comment by saying that, "Football is played with your feet, not with the language," asserted the national team winger, who, beyond offering a lesson on the pitch, decided to be just as forthright with the media.”

The Spain winger added that, "I never lack the motivation to represent my country. I was on the bench, eager to make an impact, and I've shown that. My game is based on dribbling, and I try to do it every time I have the ball. Taking the penalty was a display of my character," he assured. Bryan emphasized the quality present among Spanish players, noting that the numerous absences of key players in Louis de la Fuente's lineup have done little to disrupt the team's level. "One comes out, and another comes in, and the national team continues performing at the same level. We have very good players in a great generation, as we are demonstrating."
