The short assignment by Edeljoker Thomas Müller at Bayern in the second leg of the Champions League playoffs against Celtic (1-1) ensures a lot of lack of understanding at record national player Lothar Matthäus.
“This is a humiliation. That made me sad and I’m sorry for him. I was shocked,” said the 1990 world champion at “Sky”.
Trainer Vincent Kompany had only substituted for Jamal Musiala against the rebellious Scots, even after Alphonso Davies (90. + 4), which prevented an extension.
The Ur-Münchner was ultimately only on the pitch in the jersey “of his” FC Bayern for 24 seconds. Müller no longer had a ball campaign during this time.
“A Thomas Müller doesn’t have to do that,” rumbled Matthäus. “He is one of the greatest and most successful players of all time. So for the few seconds, the coach can take another player. If that’s the perspective for the future, then he should do something else. I don’t think so made it.
FC Bayern: Thomas Müller’s future depends on it
Müller’s future at FC Bayern beyond his contracting end in summer is open. The 35-year-old made an extension dependent on his fitness, club president Herbert Hainer told “Sport Bild”.
“We also want to talk to him about what he is doing when he no longer plays football because we would like to integrate him into one or the other form at Bayern,” said Hainer: “Whether he wants this immediately or after one wants to take a break for such long active time, he has to decide for himself. “
Müller is an “intelligent guy who has a unique feeling of what to do and to say”.
