FC Bayern, News: Müller gives a strange TV interview

Thomas Müller worked up the events at the turbulent annual general meeting of FC Bayern on Thursday in a curious TV interview. At the same time, the national player assessed the situation with serious words.

“There were many circumstances surrounding this event,” said Müller after Bayern’s 1-0 win against Arminia Bielefeld Sky: “What I took away with me is that the dialogue did not take place satisfactorily, at least if you ask the members. It is not about Qatar, but now we have to talk between the members, the fans and the club, there will be We talked a bit past each other. That also has to do with provocations. One provokes the other, what the club does provokes the fans. “

On the objection of the Sky-Reporters Sebastian Hellmann, the annual general meeting is a place for the dialogue with the members, said Müller: “I am not an expert, but an annual general meeting consists in the first three hours – in quotation marks – of boring reports. I don’t know whether that is the right place for discussions because the exchange takes place at 0.30 a.m. “

Müller: “Invite you as an expert for items on the agenda”

Subsequently, a humorous dialogue developed between Müller and the reporter, in which it was about the difference between motions, votes and a dialogue. “Now you’ve mixed up a little something. When it comes to motions, it’s about voting,” said Müller finally in the direction of Hellmann. “The vote was never up for discussion anyway, when it comes to Qatar sponsorship …”, Hellmann began – to which Müller replied: “You have just mixed that into a pot.”

Hellmann replied that it was about dialogue. “In the motion it was also about voting on the Qatar sponsorship. That is not possible and that is also legally clarified,” explained the reporter. When he came up to the request of Bayern President Herbert Hainer for a dialogue, Müller interrupted him: “I was just trying to say that we now have to take it with us. What will happen then is not my construction site. I knew Not at all that you are such an annual general meeting specialist, with processes, motions, voting rights and so on – but you always learn something new. “

After Müller finally emphasized that the external impact “was definitely not good” and jokingly pointed out that the speaking time had been exceeded (“We are now long past six minutes”), he ended the conversation with a humorous comment in the direction of Hellmann : “At the next annual general meeting of my own curling club, I will invite you as an expert for the items on the agenda.”

FC Bayern, News: Ballon d’Or? Müller for Lewandowski

From Bayern Munich’s point of view, there can only be one: Robert Lewandowski! “Lewy has to get the thing – done!”, Said teammate Thomas Müller about the awarding of the Ballon d’Or France Football on Monday. “I emphasize again that no player deserves it more than Robert. There is no question about that,” assisted coach Julian Nagelsmann.

Since 2008, with one exception, the coveted trophy has always gone to Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi – Luka Modric won in 2018. Last year the Ballon d’Or was not awarded due to the pandemic. For Lewandowski, the fact that he surpassed Gerd Müller’s “eternal” Bundesliga record last season and scored 41 goals this season speaks for itself. Nagelsmann also called the 33-year-old’s “incomprehensible attitude” towards his job. “He always hits himself. If he leans back, he comes back up and does a sit-up.”

The coach will keep his fingers crossed for Lewandowski on site, and CEO Oliver Kahn, sports director Hasan Salihamidzic and President Hainer have announced themselves in Paris. “He absolutely deserves it,” said Müller at Sky“We don’t need to discuss that. When I see what he’s not only giving us, but also doing with the Polish national team – it’s much more difficult than in a real top team.”

The former Bundesliga professional Artur Wichniarek also emphasized this. “If Robert should win the Ballon d’Or, it would be the culmination of his very strong performance,” he said: “Then he has to make us world champions in Qatar and then he can quit.”
