After the bankruptcy in Leverkusen, Thomas Müller publicly got his frustrations with Bayern off his chest. His coach has “no worries” when the veteran speaks into the broadcaster’s microphones.
Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel has no problem with emotional interviews like those from Thomas Müller after the weak 3-0 loss at Bayer Leverkusen. “I have no worries when Thomas goes to the microphone,” said Tuchel on DAZN shortly before FC Bayern’s round of 16 first leg in the Champions League on Wednesday at Lazio Rome (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online).
“If anyone has the right to express their opinion, Thomas is at the forefront.” For him, the most important thing was what was discussed internally, said Tuchel.
Müller clearly criticized the team’s attitude on Saturday evening. “I’m missing – now we can quote our Oliver Kahn – some of the balls and this freedom. We have a mentality in our game, especially with the ball,” the 34-year-old veteran said on Sky immediately after the defeat. In Leverkusen, Müller only came on as a substitute, but he was in the starting line-up in the premier class on Wednesday.
