After 25 years as a player, Thomas Müller will say goodbye to the fans at his last home game for FC Bayern. There is a spectacular secret plan for this.
At least Thomas Müller himself already has precise ideas about how his last home game and thus his farewell to the fans will run as a player at Bayern after 25 years. “I know what’s going to happen. That I will find it beautiful and enjoy the atmosphere,” said Müller before his big farewell game on Saturday against Borussia Mönchengladbach. His last time in the Munich arena.
“I don’t get wistful and not sad,” said FC Bayern’s record player. And at the same time admitted: “But still it’s kind of strange.” What if it becomes emotional and feelings are overwhelmed by the 36 -year -old Bavarian Lausbub? Isn’t something like that even to be feared? “If that happened, that would not be afraid,” he said. “I am looking forward to everything that comes. And what that will be will be, we let ourselves be surprised.”
What exactly, President Herbert Hainer did not say. “Of course I don’t want to reveal everything yet, otherwise it would no longer be a surprise,” he said mysteriously. Hainer, who has already said about Müller that he belongs to FC Bayern like the Frauenkirche in Munich, at least called the vice captain “a Bavarian veteran, one, as we will probably no longer have in the future, who has spent his entire career at FC Bayern and lived, inspired, shaped, shaped.” Now the last Müller appearance in the home arena is approaching. “It will certainly be an emotional moment,” said Hainer.
Board boss Jan-Christian Dreesen became a little more concrete. “Above all, it is an emotional farewell,” he said too. He hopes for the right external framework. That’s why he “looked at the weather forecast”. And it showed that after a week of constant rain in Munich, according to hobby meteorologist Dreesen, it “is dry again on Saturday”. Accordingly, “hopefully possible on the lawn can take place in the dry and with a nice atmosphere”.
Dreesen referred to the handover ceremony of the 34th German master shell, which is initially in the foreground on the matchday. It can be assumed that Müller will also play a central role. Captain Manuel Neuer may even have one last honor and Müller will leave the takeover of the trophy.
Dreesen said: “The man who is most pleased that the master shell is in Munich on Saturday is the one who also wants to say goodbye to his fans on Saturday, namely Thomas Müller.” That is “a very special moment and we will do it a bit around it. It’s clear.”
As a show act, the Sportfreunde Stiller, Müller’s favorite band, were at least planned. Their singer Peter Brugger alias “Balboa” had already dedicated his own song to one like none “as part of Müller’s Prime Department of the same name. A possibly insurmountable problem: The band’s drummer is a confessed and glowing fan of city rival 1860 Munich.
“We celebrate together with him and I very much hope that there are many emotional moments,” said Dreesen and revealed: “I am sure that Thomas wants to speak to the fans and find the right words.” “Radio Müller” at the stadium microphone would certainly be the emotional highlight of the day.
At Kult Stadium spokesman Stephan Lehmann, T-Online asked whether he would be willing to hand over his microphone. His answer? “Yes, of course! We do that after the game. If he wants that, I would like to give him the microphone. The Thomas can do everything,” said Lehmann and joked: “Then it says: ‘Radio Müller’ is on the air again – the following programs shift by six and a half hours.” (You can read the complete T-online interview with cult stadium spokesman Stephan Lehmann for Müller-Diechied here.)
