An era could end at FC Bayern in the summer: After losing his regular place, Thomas Müller should think about leaving Munich. Ex-national player Mario Basler believes that the veteran’s time is running out with the record champions.
On Tuesday evening, “Sport Bild” revealed that Thomas Müller was said to be so dissatisfied with his situation under coach Thomas Tuchel that he was considering a transfer.
It is said that the 33-year-old generally lacks the “appreciation” on Säbener Straße.
In Mario Basler’s opinion, the offensive all-rounder shouldn’t have too high hopes of playing a key role in the team again in the future.
“I believe that Thomas Müller will be on the bench next year,” said the 54-year-old in his podcast “Basler ballert” and in the same breath called for the fan favorite to slowly be introduced to the coaching job.
However, you have to be careful with Munich’s long-running favorite. “He can also be the club’s gravedigger,” warned Basler, after all, Müller has “a lot of power” internally.
The former midfielder added, referring to former club boss Uli Hoeneß, who is still influential: “If the coach would ignore him, he would go to Tegernsee very quickly.”
Basler: BVB “gave it away” at the top of the table
In addition to the cause of Müller, the exciting title fight between FC Bayern and BVB was also discussed by Basler. “Dortmund had the chance. They gave it away themselves,” he clarified.
The Borussia camp should be annoyed, “because they won’t get it as easy as this year again,” emphasized the 1996 European champion. Several away mistakes recently cost the Westphalians a better placement.
However, Basler believes that everything is still open: “Dortmund are always brutal at home and do their homework. You have to hope that Bayern might stumble and slip again.”
