French media "France 24" reported on the 12th (Korea time) that "Coach Tuchel evaluated Dier as a "specialist in the central defender position" and told reporters, "Above all, we will be able to secure space for Leon Goretzka to play as a midfielder."
Dyer is an all-weather defender who is a center back but can play both defensive midfielders and right backs, and has much more weaknesses than advantages. Because his feet are quite slow, he is criticized by Tottenham fans for his narrow defensive cover, his ups and downs, and his inability to concentrate in the defensive situation.
During Pochettino's time at Tottenham, he was a defensive midfielder and a strong supporter of Jan Vertonghen and Alderweireld. When Mourinho was in charge, he began to come out as a center back and failed to win the trust of fans as he made mistakes every game with Davinson Sanchez. 스포츠토토 사이트 추천
He was also a regular under Nunu and Conte, where he performed well in the 2021/22 season and led his team to fourth place in the league. However, he returned to the league full of mistakes in the 2022/23 season, showing a disastrous performance.
Tottenham reinforced their defense by signing centre-back Mickey van der Pen from Wolfsburg this season. Dyer's position has also fallen to the bottom as Tottenham centre-backs do not use Dyer despite his current injuries.
Now Munich has signed him. At the center of it is Kane. Kane has been a very close friend since we have been together for a long time at Tottenham. Kane continued to push for the transfer, and Bayern Munich entered the contract immediately after his personal agreement with Dyer.
"FC Bayern Munich has signed Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier until June 30, 2024, and has agreed on an additional one-year option," Bayern Munich said on its website on Wednesday (Korea time). Dier, a former member of the English national team, will wear Munich's number 15.
Christophe Prount, FC Bayern's sports director, said, "We are delighted to be able to sign Eric Dier. He is a player we have considered for a long time during this transfer period. Dier will be a valuable part of our defense. His sporting ability and international experience will benefit the team both on the field and in the locker room."
Eric Dier said, "Since I was a child, I wanted to play for a club like FC Bayern one day, so this transfer is a dream come true for me. FC Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world and has an amazing history. I want to help the team with my versatile defense, and I'm really looking forward to my new teammates and the fans of the Allianz Arena, one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world."
Tuchel actively pushed for this transfer, and Dier is expected to receive many opportunities from it. Many say that Tuchel's eye for players is bad. From his time at Paris Saint-Germain FC to his time at Chelsea, only Juan Bernat showed above-average adaptability and skills, and Romelu Lukaku's case was disastrously ruined.
It was also good to have Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana in the 2022/23 summer transfer window, Chelsea's most important since Tuchel's appointment, but he eventually missed Ake as he insisted on Kimpembe instead of signing Ake.
Tuchel has brought in Dier, who received so much criticism from Tottenham, with high praise. Many fans do not understand Tuchel's recruitment this time. Depending on Dier's performance, Tuchel's future evaluation will be different.
