Based on separate reviews by Sport Build And Build (Why would they lower it like that?) Bayern will again Julian Nagelsmann over Thomas Müller if the latter is dominated out to any extent further. The membership bosses are totally conscious that this might trigger unrest within the fanbase and discussions throughout the dressing room, however are dedicated to supporting the supervisor in participant energy disputes for the foreseeable future.

After all, Bild factors out the potential dangers of this technique. Müller is likely one of the hottest gamers on the membership, each within the squad and within the fanbase. A local Bavarian and native participant, he’s widespread among the many influential Sudkurve (ultras). Among the many advertisers, Müller can be the face of Bayern Munich and one of many membership’s most marketable gamers.

He additionally enjoys nice affect among the many Bayern legends who communicate often within the media, and has a powerful relationship with former membership president Uli Hoeneß, by means of his agent Ludwig Kugel. Generally, Müller isn’t somebody a coach can ignore, and the bosses know that.

It needs to be famous that Bild didn’t point out his efficiency. In 2023, listed below are the video games Bayern have began with out Müller:

• 1-1 draw in opposition to RB Leipzig (7 minutes performed instead).
• 1-1 draw in opposition to Union Berlin (22 min sub)
• 1-0 win in opposition to Paris Saint-Germain (14 minutes performed instead).

Listed below are the video games Mueller has began, together with his enter talked about:

• 1-1 draw in opposition to Eintracht Frankfurt (assisted in 90 minutes).
• 4-0 win over Mainz (1 help in 64 minutes).
• 4-2 win over Wolfsburg (1 purpose in 60 minutes).
• 3-0 win over Bochum (1 purpose in 45 minutes).
• 3-2 loss to Gladbach (delayed within the sixteenth minute).

Oddly sufficient, so many questions are being requested about Müller’s place within the line-up when in comparison with the opposite forwards at Bayern Munich. If the “efficiency precept” is at play, as Hasan Salihamidzic says, who needs to be on the bench?

• Thomas Müller in 2023: 2 targets + 2 assists in 318 minutes, 1.13 Objective contributions per 90.
• Leroy Sane in 2023: 2 targets + 0 assists in 593 minutes, 0.3 Objective contributions per 90.
• Choupo-Moting 2023: 3 targets + 1 help in 536 minutes, 0.67 Objective contributions per 90.
• Jamal Musa in 2023: 2 targets + 1 help in 593 minutes, 0.45 Objective contributions per 90.
• Kingsley Coman in 2023: 1 purpose + 3 assists in 388 minutes, 0.92 Objective contributions per 90.
• Serge Gnabry in 2023: 1 purpose + help in 343 minutes, 0.52 Objective contributions per 90.

Müller has scored the fewest minutes of any Bayern Munich striker in 2023 aside from the injured Sadio Mane, however he leads in goals-per-90. He has been scoring or helping from each begin this yr. Why did not he begin the Paris Saint-Germain match? Why cannot he keep within the Gladbach match?

If it involves performances, Julian Nagelsmann ought to rethink his trajectory. and if he doesn’t, the Council should rethink their assist. Bayern Munich is locked in a title race by skinny margins, and Champions League Inexorable. Indulging the coach like that isn’t the best way to go.
