At FC Bayern Munich, Thomas Müller usually only sits on the bench. It can’t go on like this, says Uli Hoeneß.
Nobody has any doubt that Thomas Müller is a club icon at Bayern. What the 35-year-old now enjoys in German football also makes it clear that with “Thomas Müller-one like none” he gets his current documentary.
The film celebrated its premiere in Munich on Tuesday. Other football promotions such as Uli Hoeneß or ex-national coach Joachim Löw were also honored. In addition to joint memories, they also shared their thoughts on the future of Thomas Müller. Its contract at FC Bayern will expire in the coming summer. Is he extending again or ends his career? The question is still unanswered.
Asked from T-Online about Müller’s future, Hoeneß only said at the premiere: “This will result in the talks that will now be held in the next few weeks between him and FC Bayern.” He would like to see Müller himself with the German record champion in five years, Hoeneß assured, “but in the long run it cannot be the solution that he is sitting on the bench. the Bayern patriarch restricted.
In the long term, however, Hoeneß Müller also sees in a different role in the club. Hoeneß cannot imagine that Müller will become a coach, but he also said: “I think he can fill out almost any positions in the club at some point because he has all the prerequisites for this.”
In an interview with T-Online, ex-national coach Löw did not know how to know how to continue with Müller’s career. “Maybe we’ll talk briefly tonight whether he will continue again,” said Löw. “I think the fans and everyone who loves football would be happy if Thomas Müller is still there, even if he won’t play over 90 minutes every time,” said Löw. As a motivator and with his experience, he could help every team. He also does things on the pitch that no other player does. “So he is valuable, but he has to make the decision for himself when the right time is,” said Löw.
Löw did not want to commit himself what role Müller could take after the career. Müller has to listen to himself. “Maybe he will take a break for a few months and do other things. He also has many other hobbies, but of course I would be happy if he is preserved,” said Löw.
Müller himself later presented himself on stage as usual. During the recordings for the film, it was particularly exciting for him whether he got enough playing time to have enough film material, he said. “It is better for the film if you play from time to time, otherwise the tension sheet is very flat,” said Müller.
