At FC Bayern, Thomas Müller only plays a third of all minutes of the game. Nevertheless, he keeps underlining how important it is for the great ambitions of the club.
The new year has already aged, the winter says hesitantly and not only in the German classes of the republic, spring lets spring flutter through the air again. You know it. As turbulent as the times seems to be the constant change, a lot always remains the same. And one of these well -known habits is that FC Bayern is leaving to titles at this time of year.
The well -known fragrances of wheat beer showers and precious metals strike Säbener Straße 51. The hot phase: Yes, it started. For the 17th time, Thomas Müller experiences this spectacle in his long career, in which the season’s course has been forgotten and only count the points cushion in the league and the results in the co-phase of the Champions League.
Thomas Müller: Not a regular, but still important
Müller has been old for 35 years. He is no longer a regular player with his club, only in a third of the possible minute of play is actually on the field. While a large part of the goals that the Munich scans scored, the Müller handwriting used, the veteran is no longer even involved in every tenth FC Bavaria goal. He showed that he can still be significant in terms of play Last weekend in the 4-0 victory of FCB about Eintracht Frankfurt.
Because Harry Kane was struck, Müller was asked in the top game from the start. The 35-year-old rubbed himself, worked, got a lot into play. He did not succeed and yet he had no small proportion of his team’s convincing victory.
Müller’s wake -up call against Eintracht Frankfurt
It ran the 30th minute when Müller was on the ball and Konrad Laimer decided not to continue a fairly logical walk, so that Müller only remained on the goal without a playing station. The fact that Müller did quite angry could not only hear Laimer, but also the remaining 75,000 people who had gone to the Allianz Arena this Sunday. This wake-up call also reached the teammates, who then swung up to defend the eight-point leadership on Leverkusen in the championship race with a very convincing performance.
Müller criticizes teammates: “This Self -confidence missing”
Of course, this victory is not only to be determined by Müller’s outbreak of anger. And yet he showed how important Müller’s presence can be, in the temporarily unsettled FC Bayern team. After the final whistle in the mixed zone, he took a second wake-up call. He criticized “that sometimes a little bit of this self -confidence is missing in one or the other.” Müller further explained: “Although everyone who is under contract with Bayern has to be able to do something special, otherwise he would not be here. Sometimes I am actually surprised that we do not generally have more confidence.”
Müller is exactly the player, the other players who wants to insult “Mia-San-Mia”. Even with this criticism, he wanted to “show that there is little reason to struggle in principle, but makes sense to analyze it. But: An analysis that can be self -critical to only lose without this self -confidence that every second yourself is always You have to find a top top top player-this ridge, which is of course narrow. “

Contract extension: Sometimes evasive, sometimes with humor
Now it remains to be seen how long Müller wants to play this role at FC Bayern. The Munich club management has already signaled that it would like to extend the expiring contract. So far, however, it has been very covered. Müller himself recently explained in the BR24Sport interview: “It is clear that the club, i.e. Bavaria, is my first point of contact, and I have to sort myself there first. And then let’s see.”
Finale Dahoam: Romantic end of career for the FC Bayern veteran
A lot speaks for another year on Säbener Straße. But a career end would also feel logical. Müller has achieved everything and could also pass on his knowledge to the team in a different function. Either way, he has a goal in view. The Champions League final will take place this year in the Munich Arena. Whatever Müller decides, a year is on or not: he can no longer chase a greater dream in his active career.
Such an end for the career of eternal Thomas Müller would be more romantic than any Eduard Mörike poem. But Bayern would have to achieve this game first. Bayer Leverkusen wants to do this in the round of 16 after the end of the year ( FC Bayern – Bayer Leverkusen, Wednesday, March 5th, from 9 p.m. Live on the radi home on BR24Sport) impede. For the fact that the Champions League anthem and the fragrance flutter through Munich from the Leverkusen duels by Munich, Müller will give everything-whether on or off the square.
