Müller under pressure: humiliation or tactical move?
Incredible twists and turns for FC Bayern! The champions had to watch as they were defeated 0-2 in an exciting duel with Werder Bremen. This defeat followed another disappointment: Despite a 2-0 lead, Bayern lost 3-2 to VfL Bochum last weekend, further jeopardizing their chances of promotion to the Champions League. Thomas Müller, visibly annoyed by the situation, didn't want to do much analysis after the game and was already concentrating on the upcoming duel against Leverkusen. "I've already checked off the game. We'll definitely be ready on Tuesday," emphasized Müller. The player's words suggest that he has already mentally focused on the next challenge, like krone.at reported.
Humiliating change for Müller
But that wasn't the only heated situation of the weekend. Thomas Müller was brought on as a tactical substitution shortly before the final whistle in a Champions League game against Celtic Glasgow - a measure by the coach to buy time. The record national player Lothar Matthäus described this as a “humiliation”. Müller reacted to this with a mixture of humor and seriousness: "When I'm needed, then I'm there. It wasn't humiliating for me, even if it was different in earlier times." Despite the shock at the nature of the move, he made it clear that he holds no grudge against his coach. “We are here to serve the club,” said the club veteran after the game, while also noting that he could have come on as a substitute earlier. How world.de reported, Müller is still confident that everything is fine and the team is concentrating on the challenges ahead.
