FC Bayern Munich: Thomas Müller criticizes referee after defeat in Augsburg
A surprising defeat at FC Augsburg shocked Bayern. Thomas Müller also sees part of the blame on the referee.
Thomas Müller has after the 1: 2 defeat of his FC Bayern Munich at FC Augsburg Referee Daniel Siebert criticized. The occasion was an unpunished alleged foul play on Serge Gnabry before the 0: 1.
“We may have a bit of bad luck with the referee. That was not an advantage. We discussed that on the field, but the referee wanted to stick to his opinion,” said Müller DAZN.
Müller sees the referee partly to blame for Bayern’s defeat, but is also critical of the team’s performance
Daniel Siebert had decided after a tough, but quite fair entry against Gnabry not to abandon the Augsburg attack. For Müller a clear wrong decision: “He said that Serge would have to let himself go there. But where are we going ?!”
However, Müller regards the negligent defense performance of his team as the main reason for the defeat. The “required grip” was simply missing, said the national player, who made his 600th competitive game for Munich in Augsburg.
Especially before the break, FC Bayern did not play a good game. “We didn’t deserve it in the first half,” said Müller and added: “It was very bad. We lost balls, crosses came badly. That is a bitter setback for us and our self-image.”
