Thomas Tuchel and the Squad

***

The day before the match, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

'But since I was suspended as a manager, couldn't I still play as a player?'

A suspension as a manager and a suspension as a player were different, weren't they?

'I haven't been here long enough to know the rules very well.'

But I didn't know the German Football Association's rules in detail. And, to begin with, the odds of something like this happening were slim.

'To get around this, I'd have to be both manager and player.'

Because there had to be several prerequisites in order to carry out that mission.

In any case, I immediately ran to ask Dirk Zingler, the chairman who would likely know the detailed rules, and Thomas Tuchel.

"...That makes sense."...
