The cause Thomas Müller (33) continues to employ the FC Bayern!
Under coach Thomas Tuchel (49) was the Bayern star again and again only second choice. The Bayern captain was initially on the bench in the two quarter-final games against Manchester City and in the last two league games against Hertha (2-0) and in Bremen (2-1).
Müller is dissatisfied with his situation with the record champions and, according to SPORT BILD information, even plays along Thoughts of change if nothing should change in his situation.
It’s all over the place What does Bayern want to achieve with this video?
At the press conference before Bundesliga-Game against Schalke 04 (Saturday, 3.30 p.m., Sky and here in the BILD live ticker) coach Tuchel is now talking about Thomas Müller’s situation with the record champions!
Tuchel makes a statement about Müller!
Tuchel on Müller’s possible changes: “First and foremost, Thomas decides that himself. Thomas is Bayern Munich and Bayern Munich is Thomas. He is currently playing for his twelfth German championship. We are now focused on winning his twelfth German championship with him and also for him – and he for us. That’s where the focus is.”
And further: “I think everything else is exaggerated and overshot the mark. He’s still an important part, even if he came off the bench a couple of times. But deriving a career end from it or opening things up. That misses the mark by far. He’s totally focused and really wants to win the championship and that’s what it’s all about.”
Background: SPORT BILD reported on Wednesday that the veteran is considering a change if the situation does not change.
One day after SPORT BILD reported that Thomas Müller was flirting with leaving Munich due to his current reservist role, the CEO asked Oliver Kahn (53) and sports director Hasan Salihamidžić (46) the world champion of 2014 for discussion.
The leadership around Kahn, Salihamidžić and President Herbert Hainer (68) had already contacted Müller and assured him of their appreciation.
Tuchel on the question of whether the game against Schalke was a “Thomas Müller game”: “I opened the topic myself. Every game is a Thomas Müller game except for the two against Man City. The whole issue also includes the fact that Thomas missed a day in training after his brief appearances against Hertha and Bremen. Because he used the time to recover. He drags a few ailments (back problems, editor’s note) with him at the end of the season. He also did a slightly reduced program at the beginning of this week.”
Then the Bayern coach becomes clear and shoots at the media: “These are facts that no longer play a role in the excited and very one-sided reporting. Thomas took part in three units, very good and very fresh. He’s ready for tomorrow.”
