Jonathan Tah: ‘We do our talking on the pitch’ | OneFootball

Jonathan Tah has brushed aside comments suggesting that Bayern Munich don’t stand a chance in the UEFA Champions League.

“A lot has been spoken. Some of it was a bit disrespectful from what I’ve heard,” Tah told reporters in the mixed zone after Bayern’s 3-1 win against Chelsea. “We do our talking on the pitch. We made a statement and we should keep going that way.

“Bayern have never been underdogs and never will be. We don’t need to talk a lot about that, as I said we do our talking on the pitch.”

Tah was also at the centre of controversy following an incident with Chelsea’s Joao Pedro, to which Enzo Maresca believes the German defender should have been sent off.

“If I had hit him in the face then yes, but I didn’t. I can understand the yellow card, it was the right decision,” said Tah. Vincent Kompany also commented on the incident in his post-match press conference, adding: “I actually wanted a foul the other way. I might be biased, but his shirt got pulled. He was trying to free himself. He was getting turned, and as a defender your natural instinct is to shake him off.”
