Thomas Müller from FC Bayern sent a video message to his fans on Friday evening. The native of Munich is hoping that BVB will get nervous in the championship final.
Thomas Müller grabbed his cell phone after FC Bayern arrived at the team hotel in Cologne. “I’m trying to take you into my thoughts for a moment,” the 33-year-old began his video published on Instagram. Right from the start he made it clear: “Our focus is fully on taking the three points and winning the game.” Because only then does Thomas Tuchel’s team still have a chance of winning the championship.
He and his team-mates want to “stay humble” and just do their job. “We take what we can get.”
The “rest”, smiled Müller in a good mood, “is in the hands of the football gods”. To be more precise, according to the 121-time German international, it depends on “how well BVB deals with the pressure. You have to imagine: I read that 200,000 to 400,000 fans were expected at a championship celebration. I say Let’s put it this way: first of all you have to be able to meet the expectations of so many people with a broad cross on the pitch”.
Bayern veteran Müller: “Therein lies my hope”
Müller continued: “If even Jürgen Klopp says he’s nervous, it would be the most normal thing in the world for the players to be nervous too. That’s why I think the players will feel this pressure too. That’s where my hope lies. “
Thomas Müller finally wished the Bundesliga fans, including those who have not been with FC Bayern in recent years, a lot of fun: “We have never had a more exciting championship fight in recent years. Everyone always wants that, so enjoy it too. I still remember the time when I was just a normal Bundesliga fan and it was a party. I love our league. No matter what the outcome, I wish you exciting games.”
