Thomas Müller wants to fulfill the dream of a new “Finale Dahoam” before his farewell to FC Bayern. In the quarter -finals against Inter Milan, he could go to a leading role.
The preparation for a possible career highlight started with a smile with Thomas Müller. Together with his teammates, the 35-year-old entered the training square on Säbener Strasse on Monday-the discussions about his end at FC Bayern did not seem to play any role for the moment. Instead, the focus is on the quarter -finals in the Champions League against Inter Milan. It is another step on the way to the longed -for finale in the home arena.
Müller said he wanted to “give everything” for this final – his second in Munich after 2012. At that time Bavaria missed the title in penalty shootout against Chelsea. Now the record player may have the last opportunity to fulfill this dream.
After the injury -related failure of Jamal Musiala, Müller could go back to the starting eleven on Tuesday in the first leg against the Italian champion – just a few days after the news about his possible booting in the coming season. The quarter -finals are “somehow the last hurdle,” said Müller, “before I can really start dreaming of the final of Dahoam”. When the semi -finals have been reached, the goal for him will be “ultimately tangible”.
The support in the team for the experienced offensive player is unbroken. Joshua Kimmich said with a smile that Müller had “a little more in the quiver”. Harry Kane believes that Müller will “play an important role from now on”.
The player does not want to overestimate the latest developments in Müller’s role in the club. On Instagram, the offensive player assured: “There is nothing negative between me and the club.” You look ahead and be “fully on one track”. This agreement is likely to be necessary, because the Munich people are currently plaguing considerable personnel worries. For the duel with Inter, up to seven players could fail – including Jamal Musiala, who will probably have to pause for six to eight weeks with a muscle injury.
Despite the failure of Musiala, Müller is not automatically set. Coach Vincent Kompany recalled that “you had already played without a Jamal this season”. He referred to several options that have already been used successfully: Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka or Raphaël Guerreiro could also play on the ten.
Company emphasized the confidence in the team. One has to “assume that the boys who play the performance”. Anyone who is currently available would have contributed to the current starting position.
Despite the failures, the self -image remains in the premier class. Müller said “respect for Inter, but we know that we can beat her”. Harry Kane referred to the round of 16: The clear progress against Leverkusen with a total result of 5: 0 was “a big announcement”. It shows that Bavaria can “hurt with the right mentality and the right focus of every team”.
