Dietmar Hamann doubts that Thomas Müller will still play at Bayern in the coming season. The ex-national player explains this assessment. A key reason is coach Thomas Tuchel.
According to Dietmar Hamann, Thomas Müller’s time at Bayern Munich could be coming to an end. As an indicator for this assessment, the ex-national player sees coach Thomas Tuchel’s refusal to start the veteran in both quarter-finals of the Champions League against Manchester City. “If you have two quarter-finals against Manchester City, and both are not Thomas Müller games, how are such games supposed to be Müller games in a year’s time,” writes Hamann in his Skycolumn and emphasized that he did not want to open a discussion about the new Bayern coach. However, incomprehension ignited at the personnel Müller.
“So far, Müller has accepted these decisions in an exemplary manner. He has always put himself at the service of the team and put his own interests aside. But if he already knows today that he will have to watch such games in a year, that will not satisfy him. Without His influence in the dressing room will also decrease with the number of missions, “explained the TV expert and clarified his point of view with a view to the second leg against City last Wednesday (1: 1). He “didn’t understand” that Müller hadn’t played from the start “in a game where you need emotions, leaders and players who make others better than Müller can.”
Hamann does not believe in long-term cooperation between Tuchel and Müller at Bayern
Müller was only substituted on in the 72nd minute, eight minutes later than Sadio Mané, who had caused a tangible cabin scandal following the first leg (0:3). “The fact that Tuchel only substituted him after Mané was a slap in the face for Thomas Müller. A player who punched someone else in the face a week earlier comes into play in front of FC Bayern,” criticized Hamann and posed a courageous thesis: “I would even go so far as to say: Thomas Müller will no longer be a Bayern player next season under Tuchel.”
FC Bayern: This is how Tuchel justified the waiver of Müller
However, Tuchel had recently repeatedly emphasized what great things he thinks of Müller. He justified the waiver of the 33-year-old in the games against City by saying that the team against the English champions needed speed above all. Müller, who still has a contract in Munich until June 30, 2024, primarily has other qualities. These would come into play better against other opponents.
