Mysterious Strategy from Tuchel, Bayern's Former Coach?
Former Bayern coach Felix Magath, who was invited as a guest, echoed Straten's sentiments. "Of course, that's a tool that can be used," Magath agreed.
Magath further elaborated, "Actually, there's nothing happening in the league yet. FC Bayern only had one gloomy cup night. As a coach, you have to accept criticism. However, he hasn't been criticized much yet. The elimination is indeed a catastrophe for FC Bayern, but he hasn't received much criticism for it."
Tuchel, evidently, had a different perspective. Magath: "Apparently, he felt differently."
The former Bayern coach on the Bundesliga summit in Dortmund: "I didn't see a top-notch match. It wasn't the case that Bayern dominated as the result suggests."

Thomas Tuchel's management style and interactions with players have been a subject of debate. His relationship with Kylian Mbappé, during his tenure at PSG, was often strained, with Mbappé arguing with Tuchel twice after being substituted during the 2018-2019 season[1].
Furthermore, Tuchel's management style was scrutinized for its impact on player morale and team dynamics, although there's no direct evidence of him using controversy as a motivational tool[1].
In addition, there were internal tensions within the PSG fan groups, frequently fueled by racist and far-right ideologies, leading to significant security issues and interventions by the club and authorities[1].
These tensions culminated in protests by the CUP (Collectif Ultras Paris) against the club's management and players, demonstrating a complex and often contentious relationship between the ultras and the club[1].
In sum, while there's no concrete evidence of Tuchel exploiting controversy as a motivational tool in his coaching style, his management style and player interactions have been marked by tension and conflict, which could, to some extent, be interpreted as utilizing controversy. However, this interpretation is not directly supported by the provided sources.
