Bayern Munich vs Barcelona | Champions League Group Stage | Thomas Muller's pre-match press conference

 



Thomas Muller's pre-match press conference!

 

Thomas Müller on Sadio Mane joking with him about Lewandowski

"Sadio has been jokingly telling me for the last 10 days to be careful not to accidentally pass the ball to Lewy. We have to play our game tomorrow and not focus too much on Lewy."

 

Müller on how Bayern's tactics

 "We want to prevail in the duels and we want to be active when we lose the ball. The game will be open. In the Bundesliga we recently played against opponents who defended well. I think tomorrow it will be a game that neutral fans will like."

 

Müller on playing without Lewandowski

 

"Our connection on the pitch developed over the years. But now we have a lot of flexible players up front and we don't have that one target man. The opponents don't know who the target is in attack, but we have to make it work."

 

Müller on the lineup for the match

"Of course you always exchange ideas with the coach. But the coach is the expert for load management, tactics and the line-up. He doesn't need any tips for that from us. We talk, but that's normal. The coach is the boss and has the final say, that's good."

 

Muller on being more motivated for Champions League matches than Bundesliga

Müller: "There are games that attract more attention, like CL games in San Siro or against Barcelona. That's an extra motivation. The attackers might run the extra yard that they might not do in the Bundesliga. It's sometimes like that."

Muller on contact with Lewandowski

Müller: "I have a good relationship with Lewy, especially on the pitch. Apart from golf, we haven't done much privately. We had contact via WhatsApp after his move. Of course things got hot after the draw. Footballers are no different than other people"

Abde is expected to be available for Barcelona’s upcoming US tour.

Where it went wrong for Three Lions against France in the World Cup and is manager Southgate the right man to lead England to the Euros 2024

  England manager Gareth Southgate against France in the World Cup 2022 quarter-final Southgate has allowed a new generation of England fans to dream. His accomplishments should not be downplayed or ignored. But England can't quite get over the hill when it counts. As was evident last night, and Italy in the final of the Euros, England struggle to turn that firm grip on the game into chances and goals. Deschamps's men were not better than England's. They just had that vital 1 per cent that carried them through. Winners win football matches. England had a better xG. England (2.59) 1-2 (1.32) France. Sure 2 of the chance were penalties which boosted the xG for England, but then its the tiny margins that can decide a World Cup knockout game. Both sides were taking out their opponents strengths, but then their own strength was not coming into play. England were creating chances, but never ones you thought had to be goals. Kyle Walker was stuck blunting Mbappe, and the same was ...
